locally isn't hiring right now

Posted By: Jennifer on 2009-04-10
In Reply to: have you tried locally? - forgive me

that list from mtdaily has several services in my state.  I even contacted a local temp agency that I heard may be hiring...unfortunately everyone I contacted is on a hiring freeze (colorado) and there are only two companies listed in the phone book.  I even tried to get back with my old CSHP where I started after graduation and found out they are outsourcing with one of the bigger companies...like Transcend or some one like that.

911 locally
I think it depends where you live.  In my town, a young couple tried to call 911 with Vonage after business hours when their baby girl stopped breathing.  They got a recording to leave a message.  By the time they got to a neighbor's house and were able to call and help arrived it was too late and the little girl died.  I just won't take any chances like that so I keep a regular land line as well. 
Look locally
Call around to the doctor's offices in your area and see how they do thier transcription. I got my first job working for a local psychiatry practice. It may mean going back to the microcassettes, but that way, you can dictate what you get paid. If you can get your pay rate up enough, you might be able to pay for your own insurance rather than having benefits from a company. Just another avenue you might be able to take. Good Luck to you!! =)
I think the only way that this can be done is to go locally
to a group practice or single physician. That's why I choose to work locally instead of for a national company.
have you tried locally?

When I was looking, I went through the phone book and sent a resume to every transcription service in my state.


I also sent resumes to companies that were not hiring just in case.  Make a nice cover letter that explains you situation a little better.  Do NOT give up.  Someone will give you a chance. 


I got 2 years of training locally before I ever went home just because there is so much to learn.  I also had a friend that worked from home, more experience, and when I finally went home, I called her several times thorugh the day... what did he just say, how do you do this... do you have anyone locally to help you?


 


always networking locally
I work for a national company, but also have two local docs for small part-time work (better pay than the national). I'm always networking whenever I meet anyone in the medical field, letting them know what I do, how long I've done it, and that I love the work. Be friendly and let them know you're available; that's how I got the local work. You never know what will come up, even if it's months/years later.
Try looking locally like the other posted stated
That's what I do now.
LMAO. The hospital locally PROMISED
when the time came, they did not follow through with their promise. Alot of MT's walked and now work for nationals and are much more happy and make a whole lot more money, including myself.

Your situation is good for you, but may not be so good for the next person.
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
Hiring
Don't know anything about escribe, but my company, Cy med, hiring.
Hiring
Anyone know of TM Transcription in Oregon?
Hiring
Since I have been hiring for Keystrokes, I have ALWAYS followed thru with providing the proper paperwork to the office, and the AA gets the paperwork out the same day within hours of when I submit the new hire information, and then when the signed paperwork is not received usually we give someone about 72 hours, which on many occasions, people do not fax the paperwork back to the office, the AA in turns either sends out a FU e-mail asking where the paperwork is and/or I will call and send out an e-mail if there is an issue. I HAVE NEVER let anyone SLIP thru the Cracks with Keystrokes after I have offered them a position. Please get your facts straight before you post on here and use my name!

I have a note on the resume the date of hire, and the date the e-mail was sent to the office, and also have a new hire folder, where I put the e-mail that the office sends to me that the paperwork has been returned and faxed back, to the office. Keystrokes does FU on hiring of all new hires, so who ever is posting that needs to contact me and allow me to find out what the problem is so I can find a solution.
Are they hiring? (nm)

Are they hiring?
They said they passed me up because someone else wanted a full-time position, and I only wanted a part-time position. Then I had to contact them, which took 3 weeks to get a response. If I did well on the test and they need help, then why not hire me? What a waste of my time.
They are ALWAYS hiring because
All of the smart MTs leave and only the extreme desperate stay. They do SUK.
as far as I know they are still hiring
I don't know about if it is specifically for ortho or not though.
They are always hiring...
and just as hard to get ahold of when you are working there.  lol.  Try e-mailing the recruiter.  Thats your best bet. 
I just saw an ad where they are hiring for
someone to go overseas to train/teach classes. Wondering what's up with that. If it's true, kind of bold of them to advertise on an MT job site to promote taking American jobs away. Guess it all comes down to the almighty buck and how these companies continue to screw US MTs over.
are they still hiring for Onc MT?

Hi SM!


I have more than 2 yrs experience transcribing onc reports.  I would like to ask if they are still hiring as far doing oncology transcription? What is their website?  Can I have their email address?  THank you


Hiring
I'm wondering too...my QA is consistently over 99%, I rarely leave blanks and have 12+ years experience.
Are they hiring?
I am looking for a good IC job. Do you know if Sten-Tel is hiring for IC? Thank you so much!!
i think they are not hiring
thank you, but I went to GIMT website and it seems they are not hiring right now.  There wasn't any info where to mail the resume.
Are they currently hiring?
What is their website?  Thanks!
I think they are always hiring

Who's Hiring for ONC?

Does anyone have any experience with any of the companies hiring for ONC now?  Positive experience with the companies and the accounts, or negative? Which companies would you recommend for ONC?  TIA.


Yep, they are still hiring

I cannot understand why they do not understand this.  I hope you have another job.  One problem they have...on one account, they had overseas MTs doing the typing, they allowed these people to go off of QA...next couple of weeks, the account was gone.  Nobody said it was gone, but there was never any work on the account and still isn't any. Zip activity.


Who, in their right mind, would allow overseas MTs to submit work directly to a facility?


hiring
I just e-mailed you. Thank you for information.
Do you know if they are hiring ICs? TIA.

are they hiring right now ? -
Applied a week ago, waiting to hear from them. Thanks. Not sure if they are hiring right now or not.
Are they hiring right now? Thanks,

are they hiring right now ? -
I sent a resume and haven't heard anything in over a month.
Are they hiring?

Have you heard if it's a good company to work for?  IC or employee?  I think I have a contact email that I can send you if no one else has already done it.


What is with all the hiring at
Are they expanding that much?
They better not be hiring..

Don't know if they are hiring PT . . .
I am working PT, and I chose to work a pretty fixed schedule. It's busy now and I have work, so I'm doing my hours. It's employee status, and I'm required to work one weekend a month and then rotate either T-giving or Christmas each year. If a holiday lands on one of your regularly scheduled days, you are required to work. I think this is all pretty much standard throughout the industry.
Seems like they are ALL always hiring, sm

complaining that there are no good U.S. mts, available, and using it as an excuse for voice recognition and hiring off shore.


If you are good, and can prove it by testing and experience, they are always hiring.  Maybe not posting ads, but they are hiring.


saw they were hiring 40 MTS

for big new account.  Anyone here work there.  How do you like it.  Pluses and minuses welcomed and appreciated.


 


Maybe that is why they are hiring.
employees, so they are in need of some help.  Hmmmm, very interesting.  They are not the first, and I bet they won't be the last.  This board is supposed to be informative, good or bad, so why worry what is being posted?  There would be no posts if everyone took everything up with the actual company they work for.  No one seems to have a problem when good things are posted, so why when there are bad things posted or a suspicion, someone says take it up with the company?  Just curious. 
Hiring?
Are a bunch quitting?
why are they hiring again?
Just quit because there was no work and now they are hiring?  What a stoopid move.
They are hiring
I got a job offer from them yesterday. I just wanted to know if anybody works for them now.

Thanks
over hiring
their usual practice and thinning out what they have.....like many others only concerned about themselves. 
well, maybe they are not hiring now, i don't know.
I think for many of their accts you need the unlimited LD. They also have some accts that do not require that. I will be out today, but if you e/m me, later i will try to send some contact info for you, to try again.
For those just hiring on, it might not be too bad for you right now. (sm)
Those of us that have been there fore a couple of years have had nothing but perks/benefits/money taken away from us on a regular basis.

If you hire on expecting no communication, reduced wages for ASR, only the challenging stuff that our ILPs don't want to do, working a combination of 2-20 different accounts on a daily basis, and plan on having perks and benefits reduced periodically you might just be happy there.

Don't forget to watch the videos, it is all part of the brain washing we get to make us think we are lucky.

Lots of us are leaving, but it is a big company and there are plenty of newbies or just newcomers who will hire on. They will take a learning curve, the customer will be unhappy with the constant training/mistakes that occur and more of them will leave. Of course new ones come on so you get, once again, to learn new client profiles.

Good luck. Perhaps whoever buys MQ next will do things differently. Then again, perhaps the income taxation system will be more fair and equal, Santa Claus will be real in the minds of children and pick up the tab for holiday gift giving the parents do in his name.
qt hiring

QT help wanted ad OMG! How funny is that?.  I heard they let all the good MTs go.  They offshore like there's no tomorrow and they are asking no offshore entities need apply?  Good luck to any sucker who applies for that position. Also heard that particular radiology software is so bad there's no way you can make any money  Hope you like empty promises, no benefits and Indian overloads for bosses.


 


 


and hiring, and hiring, and hiring.......

They are hiring for.......
Consults, Discharges, H&Ps, and Admissions, no OPs were noted on their ad that I could see. 
Yes...believe they are still hiring (nm)
.
Yep, they are hiring. If you want to sm
email me with any specific questions, feel free. It is a smaller company, but we are so overloaded with work its not even funny due to new accounts. The only time I have been out of work is for a couple of hours here and there after holidays--just like anywhere else.

I've been there for a little over a year and am VERY happy with them. I've been an MT for almost 10 years and I have to say this is the best company I have ever worked for.
hiring
They only hire for accounts that need help so the accounts stay balanced right and not overstaffed. Some accounts will hire people who specifically just want to do ops. Some accounts need you to do a mix of everything, so it really depends on what account they are hiring for.
No NJ hiring either
I had an interview scheduled with them last year and then they called me back to apologize for the mix up. Seems they don't hire people who live in NJ.
I am not sure if they are hiring sm

The last time I asked my Manager, she said they were looking to fill 1 MT acute care position. 


I didn't ask about clinic though. I believe there are new accounts coming on but I am just not sure when of the go-live date.  They will not bring MTs on if the work is not there.
