Yes, they call it a "snap shot."

I also had the same concerns you are expressing and the tech guy said he wanted to take a snap shot of my computer.  I have a very fast internet connection and it was taking him forever to download and get things setup.  Was not happy and was worried my computer would be ruined. When I voice my concerns, he just said time out like I was just suppose to sit there and put up and shut up.  I still get a of  error messages.

Please please do. My ego is SHOT!

Complete with mug shot
with a lot of help from her
this is a long shot, but
Does StatIQ Solutions pay for headers?
Give it a shot
They gave me a chance years ago when I had little experience but tested well - am still there and happy. Downside: Heavy ESL, demanding work environment, expect you to stick like glue to your schedule, very specific accounts. Good: Pay, on time pay, lots of work, 100% US based, hey it's a job and one that I have had for a while now and will continue to defend on here regardless of the horror stories people had years ago with HR or the person who used to be in charge who has since passed away. Make your own decision and take a chance!
Your theory shot down

No money to be made here.  Volunteer members do the work, and office products have been donated.  No paid positions. 


So . . . . you have nothing, basically.


I'd give it a shot
Are you looking for clinic or acute care? They do quite a bit of clinic work, too, and you might just be experienced in an area where they need someone. It would most definitely be in your best interest to throw your hat into the ring and apply, Robin...this is quite honestly the best place out there that I've found.

Let us know if you decide to go for it :-)
Didnt he get shot?
bang
give Diskriter a shot, sm,
they are hiring, some ESLs yes, good benefits, nice people, written test only, loads of work and paid downtime for the rare time there isn't - - can't hurt to give them a call and make your own decision if they match what you are looking for - - been in the business 15 years, best company I've worked for, 3 years running now
Give them a shot...I'm happy there...SM
It's something each person really needs to try for themselves to make an informed decision. I'm glad I went with them. No job is a bed of roses but overall I like the job. There will always be negative and positive opinions to sort through. I did lots of that when I was deciding where to go.
what a nasty shot at QA people

The only people you'll see in QA are the lazy ones who have no pride and no longer care.


Are you kidding me?  People who make nasty comments like this with absolutely nothing to back it up are just simply trying to start something.  What a nasty, nasty thing to say. 


For the person who originally started this post, I personally can't stand doing MT work anymore.  My wrists and back are shot and I have found that my ears are much sharper when my body isn't stressed out.  I have found in QA my passion and talent and wouldn't trade it for anything.  If you are awesome at MTing, maybe what everyone else is saying is worth heeding and you should stay where you are :)


TY. I'm gonna give it a shot...
Just turned in my resume. Thanks again for the info!
Thanks! I'll give that a shot....nm
nm
I will give the resume a shot and apply! At least you
are passionate in defending your company - at this point in my experience with my company, I wish I felt the same way. So, to me, I'll try to look at your passion as a good sign for KS!
Re: The Calif. bill: The "Governator" shot it down. (no msg)

Do they provide sample documents? If so, it may be worth a shot. nm

Thank you!!! Obviously an bitter MTSO because they offered a ridiculous cpl and got shot down.
Shame on you!!
Thanks, I'll give it a shot! Hope they are hiring PT. nm
..
Long shot.. Does futurenet give out any kind sm
of Christmas bonus or gift?  Just wondering..   Or for that matter, do any of the companies?
I hate this kind of cheap shot post. What's the deal? nm
nm
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
Call them......
Since the Warminster office is being absorbed into the Northeast Region, the only ones who can answer that question for you is the Warminster office itself. I've worked for them for years and have plenty of work - my accounts haven't gone anywhere.
Yes. I get what they call
a tiered incentive on my checks and then get quarterly bonuses to boot. I was quite impressed actually. I started at 8.75 cpl and can earn up to 2 cpl incentive plus the bonuses.

We got Labor day incentives too...$40 for the first 800 lines and $20 for every 400 lines after that.

It may all fall apart but right now I'm happy.

If you truly cannot call, perhaps
it is time to find work with another MTSO/company? That way when one is slow, you will have another as a backup? This is, of course, assuming you are an IC. If you are an employee having communications issues where you cannot even call your employer, I would start looking elsewhere.
I could call and say
I could call and say I I couldn't work that day if I was sick or if my daughter was sick, things like that, but I've never done that with the exception of a few weeks ago when my husband had open heart surgery and I ended up not working for 3 days.
I could call and say
But the point is I would never do that. I have to have a very good reason why I wouldn't work.
Why not just CALL them?
.
of course call
but I would take this as a warning: If they don't follow up *before* they actually hire you...
So should I call them? (nt)

I had a guy call me to tell me he was going to
his MTs are earning money, but he would not tell me his company name. I did not answer the phone. That really made me nervous. I will not be giving my # out again.
Call and ask.
x
When I tried to call...
I got the message about the number being disconnected, so I emailed and got called back from another number.
You can call them and ask.
nm
Really not sure, but I would just call them and ask.
x
Why not just call them?
If I get no work on an account, the first thing I do is call to make sure there is no technical reason for the lack of work. (like maybe I was fired? (locked out?) :))
I would call in and

talk to them.  There is certainly plenty of work and they don't want you to be unhappy.


 


I got the call too
I am concerned because this company does offshore and I looked at their website briefly and they are apparently looking to acquire more companies.
Definitely would call now!!
nm
Call them!!!
I was afraid to pester the company I tested with, too, but after waiting 8 days I called yesterday and got hired.  If you want the job, pursue it!
they call you once and then
you never hear from them again!
I did call...sm
I was told the hospital was low on work today. I agree about communication being horrible.
I just got a call from them....
Yes, Synthescribe showed up on my caller ID and they are all the same people!!!! Makes me wonder what is going on.....
Why not call
And ask them yourself?  Maybe you can switch to a shift they are advertising for, or you can get more work on another account.  Seems to me, that your supervisor would know better than anyone on this board.  I don't plan to work there, but that is what I would do if I were out of work and they were hiring...Just IMO. Otherwise, best to assume they have their reasons and if you don't want to call and ask, well I have no other advice except to say I don't see why you will get any answers here unless of course your question is rhetorical. Good luck whatever happens!
Do call them.
Carol Gilbert is such a nice person and though I have not worked for her I have had dealings with her over the years. She is terrific. I think you would be happy you did get in touch with the company. Good luck.
Call them
I left them a few months ago. I had my refund in about 10 days. If it's been 3 weeks, that's too long - something got snagged up. Call HR or your old supv and let them know the situation - they are excellent about that sort of thing.
Why don't you call them and ask them?
.
Please call them
Whoever answers the phone will either answer any questions or direct you to someone who can. They are very, very busy with new accounts coming on board but will not mind helping you at all.
Yes call them
I was an IC for a hospital for two tax years - the first year (while I was still working there) I had to go directly to the personnel office after numerous calls to my supervisor, and then tell them how much I made so they could type one up by hand!  The second year (after I moved out of state), I had to call the supe twice to get it.  I had the feeling that if I had never asked for a 1099 they never would have reported it to the IRS, but since I was a good do-bee and had paid in my taxes quarterly as I should, I needed that 1099 to get any of it back!
I had gotten a call from....
The Impact Center, and I haven't been with that company for months now.  Isn't communication grand?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I still get E-mail too....go figure!
Can't you call them?
This is a great example why it is so important to include a telephone number on your resume!!
What exactly do you call the 30
day lag then if not a waiting period?  If pay periods are 1-15th and 16th-30/31 and one starts working for you on July 18th, why would they not be paid on the paydate immediately following the 31st?  Why wait an additional 30 days?  Why would you not call this a waiting period?
