    I was immediately offered a position with

    Webmedx after the interview.   I didn't have to test based on my experience and score on the verbal testing. 


    If you applied through TransHealth they still seem to be operating as two separate companies and dealing with a different group of people.  I applied to them before the merge and I never heard from them after submitting my resume. 


    She emailed me about a position and then I never heard from
    She emailed me saying how she wished she could speak with me that day but she was leaving town and to email her back if I was interested and she'd get in touch with me. I did reply stating I was interested in speaking with her and nothing. Not even a brief email saying they found someone else. I thought that was pretty unprofessional and disappointing. Made me leery of working there.
    Filled out ...
    online app on Monday; got an email that afternoon inviting to test. Tested next day (Tue). Phone call from recruiter on Thursday and she emailed data sheet that day and had contracts/paperwork FedEx'd that day. Rec'd FedEx on Friday (yesterday). Returned it Sat (today - 7/16). Waiting for equipm/training next week!!
    That job has already been filled
    They post jobs like that because they feel it is the PC thing to do but 9 times out of 10 they already have someone in place. That's the way OSi does business unfortunately. If they have it in for you, you will most assuredly not be promoted by them. They promote from within meaning people they don't have it in for.
    already filled in with me too
    the data is already filled in for the company that I work for also.  I don't work for Allegiant, but do use EMDAT.  I'm paid for two lines before I type one character.
    The DQS is an IC position and the Dictaphone EXtext is an employee position....
    both part time...both making 9.5 cents per line...which is better IC or employee?
    Thanks :)
    Yes, had a contract and filled out sm
    a 1099. Received checks without taxes deducted. All of a sudden deducted taxes, and told me I was staying employee like it or lump it. From what I read on these boards, this company is always low-balling someone.
    Maybe the M-F positions are filled? Don't know

    As I was out to get my prescriptions filled

    Diskriter called.  I sent them my resume Sunday.  The thing is, I work for a hospital that is going to VR and templates.  They are cutting back on MTs.  They are leaving the CMTs, higher producers and the ones with the most experience to do the leftover MT work.   They offered me a position in medical records.  I will be doing the corrections, scanning charts and other clerical things as well, which would be fine, but they are going to give me a flat hourly rate at $11/hour.  I made more on production.  I will be driving 40 miles in-house.  I drive a gas guzzling Chevy Suburban.  Plus, I will be getting up early early, having to get dressed, get the kids dressed and out the door so I can be there by 7:30.  If I am late they will write me up.  I forget how many write-ups I can get before they give me to boot.  I know for a fact that they are not as flexible with their hourly employees as they are with their production employees.  It makes me nervous.  On the other hand, I will be using different skills other than MT.  I won't be making much profit though. 


    I filled out an application
    I filled out the application and sent in my resume. I was called for an interview and then asked to test, and I had the 2nd interview today and was hired. I am so excited!
    Jobs filled up
    These days with all the people applying for jobs in this field, it is not surprising they filled up the position in a few days. There are many more MTs than positions at good companies (note I said good companies). If it were me, I'd send an e mail or call asking that they keep my resume. You never know when they will need someone because of becoming exceptionally busy with snowbirds in Florida (they have accounts there). My 2c.
    Demographics already filled
     Allegiant is a wonderful company to work for.  she ALWAYS pays on time with direct deposit.  All of her accounts are in the database and there are no patient lists used whatsoever.  I have used Emdat for 6 years and I am very happy with the amount of money I make. 
    I filled in for a short time . . sm
    I worked for them about 3 years ago. They have a WP platform I believe. I thought it was a little fiddly, but not bad. Lots of OPs, big hospitals. They didn't bug me, just let me work. It's easy to make the lines if you're experienced. They really know what they are doing. If I needed the work, I would go back to them without hesitation.
    She posted that all the spots were filled now, anyway. nm
    s
    That's exactly it - the shifts everyone wants (day shift, MF) are filled but the others sm
    are open. Should we just not fill them because YOU don't have enough to do? My STM sent out info regarding what shifts were open and asked if anyone was interested in taking on that account. Obviously not enough people were interested, meaning they have to hire to fill those weekend and night shifts.
    She has posted that the spots are filled

    I just had 2 meds filled and never paid a dime.

    Do you give it back with the blanks filled in?
    I send things to QA and never hear back until I prod and prod.  This is a waste of my time as well only to hear from QA don't know, we sent through with the blank.  If you are filling in the blanks, then you should be giving it back to the MT with the mistakes filled in and also a way for the MT to relisten.   JMO.  Is this MT doing the same doc or is she being thrown new ones to learn each day?  As far as the timeframe for when will she learn, there are a lot of variables to that question in my opinion.  Sorry to sound sort of like huh?, but you seem like you are sort of complaining about the job you chose.  If you do not like QA, why not try going back to being an MT.  JMO.  Good luck with the MT though..    
    Why positions cannot be filled. Not due to lack of workers,
    Is it because Microsoft cannot meet employment demands based on available US similarly trained workers without paying US expected pay.  I am sure if Microsoft was offering a decent wage those positions could be filled.  But they will not be filled with US employees if Microsoft is only willing to pay offshore pay rates.
    I filled out the paperwork and late the same day they called
    to setup an interview the next day and I was immediately offered a position.   They have a large account coming on-line very soon and are trying to train several people too, so there may be a backlog.  I was hired 2 weeks ago and start training later this week.  
    I was told the oncology positions were filled already. nm
    nm
    Just filled out my new hire paperwork today-sm
    I'm glad to hear encouraging things. I'm really excited! I'm just P/T so all the OT stuff and what not does not apply to me anyway.
    So all three you just filled in the blanks and didn't need special equipment?
    The MT I work with and I might test with them this week.
    Think they posted that all spots were filled 2 days after posting
    s
    Yikes..5 cpl and they filled the positions..pathetic..okay all you out there that stooped so low to
    accept that rate, please raise your hand LOL.. That is SHOCKING..who could live on 5 cpl. I think I'd be insulted and humilated and DESPERATE to accept that rate.  I'm pretty sure they are getting more than 5 cpl from their clients. You can bet they are making more than enough by having the slaves work for free practically.
    How many have filled applications out with what you make and test and never hear
    anything back.  I wonder if you make a decent 10 cpl or something that is the end of hearing back from them thinking you want that much or more when you fill out the application. 
    I have tons of experience and I sent a resume to them and I filled out the application, took the
    test, did fine, got a huge questionnaire to fill out that took about 1/2 hour or more then got a call and they wanted me to take an oral test and do another editing test.  I thought what is this.  This all took hours of my time.  I do think you have to clock in and out like at MQ and I am not interested in the least in doing that again.  Been there and done that.
    I'm hoping too as I accepted position a position also nm

    Are you saying that you are immediately
    no message
    You will get set up immediately with
    no problems and they are the best company I have worked for as far as helping solve problems immediately.
    The one immediately above us. nm
     
    I would be looking for another job immediately...sm
    Good luck on the matter.
    may depend on account; mine needed demos filled in.
    nm
    Sure, we will all email you immediately. Are you really
    ewwwwww!!
    If it was me, I would have told them no way immediately. nm
    You showed great restraint.
    I quit immediately.
    You got paid for the straight typing, no templates.

    They advertise quite a lot and that's probably the reason why!
    Need ananswer immediately, please!!
    On Friday of last week,  I drove almost 100 miles to an interview that was supposed to be a subcontractor position.  I was asked to come in for the day and type some reports to get familiar with the account and to see if I wanted to do it.  I drove the 100 miles, typed for the company.  Keeping in mind that I was a subcontractor and could work and quit when I wanted, I decided to give it a try.  As soon as I got home, she called and wanted me to work on Saturday to get the hospital caught it. So, I transcribed on Saturday.  Then, I received a call on Sunday requesting that I type.  So, I typed on Sunday.   I got phone calls all day yesterday, Monday, pleading that I work and the hospital is seeing that I am logged on, but no work is coming in.  The work was not coming in because I received Japanese/Chinese discent dictators and it literally took me an hour a report.  I received calls all day long.  To work, change things,  work more, and I was told now that I was their go-to girl and needed me to work, work, work.  I could not log off because I would get calls.  So, today, which is Tuesday,  their system broke down and when they finally fixed it, guess what, they needed me to work an additional 8 hours.  This was after I got up early to work, but due to their system break down, I was hours behind.  After listening to 3 messages on my answering machine, I sent an email telling her I have accepted another position.    Four hours after I sent her the email, she called me up and asked why I was not working for her and that she is going to lose her account.  I asked her if she got my email.  SHE SAID SHE GOT MY EMAIL, BUT DID NOT REALIZE I WAS NOT WORKING FOR HER ANYMORE.  How ridiculous is this?  She said she needed me to log on now because I was her go-to girl and she was going to lose her account.  I am exhaused, but she needs me until Friday or she will lose her account.  I am a subcontractor.  Also, I signed no papers and she could shaft me for my money if I stay. WHAT SHOULD I DO?  SHOULD I LOG IN AND WORK UNTIL FRIDAY AND HOPE SHE PAYS ME OR JUST MOVE ON?  She sounded desperate, but she has worked me out all ready.
    I quit immediately, too.
    It won't be a blip on the radar of D's sell-out, unfortunately, but at least I know I did the right thing for myself and my belief system/ethics.

    Congratulations to us, and anyone else who is in a position to do the same!
    I'd see a red flag immediately if a company sm
    waited a year to test me. From everything you said, it sounds like this company is desperately trying to fill a quota of US MTs to land/keep this account. Anyone born in the USA would do. If you were sincere in not wanting to work for companies that offshore, you should say so clearly right at the start and not go through all the traveling, testing, and ironing! I'm sorry this turned out to be such a negative for you. Best to do research beforehand.


    I heard back immediately

     I got a one sentence email saying I didn't have enough experience. Must be pretty difficult work. I have been typing all work types for 19 years, especially psych and radiology..the two on the list. I have also done ESL in every job I have ever been employed. Oh well, asked her to keep my name in the barrell!


     


     


    start immediately to think about ESLs........
    nm
    I too made quota immediately
    !!!!!!!!!!!!
    Stop typing immediately....and see what happens.
    They'll be blowing your phone up. Tell them, when they put your check in the bank, you'll start back typing, because you don't type for free. They gave you a date you will get paid and they should honor that. In the meantime, be looking for something else.
    You are right. I am going to implement this title immediately. Thank you very much! nm

    I would immediately eliminate Focus.

    It is Indian run, low pay, and constant turnover.   I haven't heard much good about Diskriter either, though certainly better than Focus.  KS is good for some, not for others.  It wasn't a good fit for me.  Axolotol pays better than any of them, better benefits.   The account they are hiring for has a high percentage of very challenging ESL dictators.  The company itself is great though. 


    All of you should stop working immediately so that they can see how valuable
    you are. Let them work it out then.

    This discussion will cease immediately. You are WAY off base. We do not

    cater to any company in the manner you describe just because a company may be a sponsor.  The reason that we remove content about ANY company is when posters use this site as a sounding board of their complaints posting to the point where the thread flames.  At that point, I will remove the thread and tell posters to take discussion to email until things settle down. 


    If you have problems with a company, you need to take it up with them. Sounding off on this forum about the inner workings of any company is innapropriate.  Posters need to use tact when posting.


    Many of you know me well enough by now that I would not remove posts just because some MTSO tells me to.
