    yes, you are wasting your time with them.
    The human resource person that works there is beyond pathetic. Because of the rules of this board, I am not able to go into it further, but let's just say that I used to work on the inside at their office. I left, along with 5 others that worked INSIDE, to go work for another company.
    I'm not wasting my time then (nm)

    Please tell me, am I wasting my time?

    I have been looking for clinic work for 2 months now with a U.S. based company that has employee status, benefits, doesn't offshore, and little, if any VR.  Am I going to go blind looking or does this kind of position no longer exist?  I have over 10 years experience, tired of testing and never hearing back (I know, they are being swamped).  Still . . .


    Depressed doesn't come close to describing how I feel.


    If there is hope, will somebody please throw me a bone? 


     


    You are wasting your time and energy!
    There are jobs being off-shored in almost every industry imaginable. Call customer service or tech support for any major company, and you are bound to be speaking to someone from a different country. That is the way it is and that is the way it will continue to be now that we have worldwide communication in mere nanoseconds. You can do whatever you want, but nothing you do is going to change anything. The Internet and the telecommunication industry have created a worldwide workforce and it is here to stay!

    As far as quality goes, have you ever seen some of the reports transcribed by citizens of the United States? The quality of the reports I have seen is appalling! Martians could probably produce more accurate medical reports than many people on this very forum can produce.
    Try telling Spheris instead of wasting your time with us
    You dont have to explain anything to anyone on here. I would take these great points that you have had and tell them that you are in the process of looking for another job and maybe that will scare them into giving you a raise.

    Telling about it on here really wont do anything unless you talk to Spheris about it.

    Good luck! It does look like you deserve a raise, but I think most of us do too.

    Would like to know to before wasting time on transcribing tests.nm

    i think the opposite, give the boot to those who are wasting everyone's time and just don't ge
    the quality dropping also drops our pay for good MTs who care about quality.

    i'd like to know too. i did send an email back before wasting more of my time to see if the work

    You aren't wasting your time, you're investing in a potential "yes!"
    As to why you don't get a response, it might be for one or some of the reasons below, or none of them:

    a. You don't meet clearly-stated qualifications. I delete every resume or application that doesn't meet standards required. If you can't follow instructions, don't expect me to take time out of my busy day to spend time on explaining this to you.

    b. You're an Indian pretending to be an American. Again, I'm not wasting Keystrokes on you.

    c. Your application is filled with errors. Maybe the dead silence from recruiters is a message to go back and review what you've put out there.

    d. Maybe your application got overlooked. It has happened. Email the recruiter. If you don't get a response, review a, b, and c above and e below.

    e. Maybe the recruiter is swamped. There are days when 10 hours will fly by and I've hardly had time to breath. There are applications to look at, resumes to review, tests to score, interviews to schedule, paperwork to complete, interviews to do, reports to file, fires to put out, and someone has to beat the tech people/MT supe upside the head to get them to call an irate MT, who feels that YOU are responsible for her every woe and calls 6 times a day to tell you about it.

    From a recruiter POV, don't put your experience on page 4 under everything else you've done. I don't care that you work in the church nursery, or that you drive bus, or that you swept floors at Mitzi's Kut n Kurl. Don't make me wade through all that to find out if you can do the job I'm trying to hire for. I suspect I've tossed good resumes because I don't have time to read someone's life story before getting to the information I need. I also don't want to know your parent's names and professions (why do Indians do this?).

    So, if you don't get a response you can either call or email, or just move on. It's not necessarily a rejection of you, but rather the reality of a busy society.

    I totally hear what you are saying, but at the same time, that company can also tell you to go pound sand! For someone who needs the job, they have to deal with it. I am glad I personally am not in that situation, but there are other people that are. The company can say either commit, or you are outta here. They unfortunately know the chances of anyone actually calling them on it with the law are slim to none. Just my 2 cents worth!
    JustMe
    Well, I AM very strong, too strong for some, as a matter of fact! That is why I have learned to choose my battles.  My husband has calmed me down over the years, because I used to get upset and call everyone on everything. That a lot (not all) got me in trouble.  So yes, I am a very strong person.  I also know that a lot of people do not have $$ for their own counsel. And these BIG companies know this and take advantage. In the end, you have to ask yourself, is this worth all the aggravation? While in the meantime, you could be working at a place where u are happy. If you answer yes to that question, then go for it, if not, just move on and be happy.  Those kinds of companies will lose out in the long run...
    JustMe
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you read your post above, you did say, private counsel?!
    Question for Justme. sm.

    I was wondering how you like working there? How the doctors are, work flow, learning curve, pay, benefits? Been thinking about making the same move but haven't fully decided yet. Any input you can give me is appreciated.


     


    Thanks.


    Question for justme
    How long have you been working at Gctfl? 
    JustMe - Have you heard from PMSI yet? sm
    I haven't heard from them and I'm starting to get antsy.  Let me know if you have heard from them, you can e-mail me if you want.  Thanks.
    Thanks, Justme, for an uncommonly realistic input. NM

    There's an old saying in life, justme- a wanna-be public defender...
    it's better to be silent and be thought of as an idiot, than to speak and remove all doubt. Now, you removed all doubt.... 
    Prolly wasting your breath, she's not even
    A rising tide lifts all boats equally. (The reverse is also true.)
    I think when you have someone who likes
    their co that that does not mean they are a cheerleader. I would think they are in a better position of judgment that someone who does not work there.

    People are much more willing to listen if someone has facts to go with a statement. The OP did not give one fact in this thread that backed up the claim of dishonesty
    Not everybody likes to job hop. We have every right sm
    and are wise, to judge a company by what we read about it, what they offer, before we bother with them.  Most people like to find a good company and stay there.  This one just seems way to sketchy to me, and their line rate and incentive plan, regardless of what other posters may say, is really low.  They charge rental for equipment, too, with is definitely a no-no in my book.  If they want you to use their equipment, they charge a deposit, but not a rental fee.
    I just came on here and it seems absolutely no one likes their job at all

    I personally work for a great company that does a lot for its' MTs and is consistently bashed on this board.  I do note, however, that almost every company is spoken about in a negative manner.  Is this a board where people just come and vent frustrations?  If so, I will not be visiting it anymore.


    Hope you all have a great Memorial Day.


    Nobody likes offshoring, but it's not going to go away.
    You are only hurting yourself if you refuse to work for companies that offshore. If they can't get Americans to work for them, they are only going to offshore even more.
    I am not going to argue with the likes sm
    of you. Your word structure doesn't even sound like you are from this country. If not, you don't even belong on this board. Oh but I forgot, Why should this be?
    One poster in another location likes it there. nm

    Maybe she works, gets paid and likes her job
    Did you ever think that Wilma puts in her time, gets paid and enjoys what she does?   I know I do.
    Had contact with someone there recently who likes it, but they still don't have DD. nm

    It likes to omit things too!

    When I do a high-maintenance VR report (lots of corrections, dictator go-backs and formatting crap), I sometimes feel like this


    On guard!


    Or even worse, like this   or .  Rarely do I feel this way  unless its one of the rare well-trained work types/dictators that ends up in my queue of over 125 dictators on the account.


    MTSOs GET A CLUE!!!  NO ONE LIKES HIGH MAINTENANCE!!!  If it's high maintenance it should be serviced accordingly (i.e. higher pay).


    Not a nut. Happen to know someone likes slots.
    A LOT.  Too much.  Keep slaving away for her, it's going into every slot machine in the country.
    You are wasting your words on this or any site letting it bother you. The bashers will continue
    to bash because they get pleasure from doing so.

    What you need to do is do not read the threads. Bashers love to bash.

    If you choose to read the threads, take it with a grain of salt and just let it go over your head.

    You know the truth and an intelligent MT will go to the company for questions particularly when that company makes it clear in their ads that they can.

    I just would not sweat it. Know that intelligence prevails in this industry and the smart ones will find out for themselves rather than read sour grapes or anything that resembles it.

    Go relax and don't worry about it. Enjoy your day.
    Consider yourself in the inner circle. She is great to people she likes but
    quite the opposite if she does not. There is no pattern either, all a whim. I am lucky that she likes me, but I am afraid that the knife will someday be in my back.

    JLG as a company has been great to me. Do not let the recruiter spoil the opportunity to work for a great company. Just grin and bear it because once you are in, you do not have to deal with her.
    Nice to hear that someone likes this job. I have just started and so far so
    good. It seems to me that those who don't like it may not have been meeting the criteria they require. They were very up front with me on what was expected and, as far as I can tell, as long as you do your job there shouldn't be a problem.
    sound likes a good idea
    and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs.  TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work. 
    Dunno.... the powers that be spawned the likes of
    I can think of some foreign countries that might harbor server-crashers.
    Focus likes to get these little holes in the wall and then kill them.
    look at STP and oh heck, what is that other one that wanted me - Lartech - that's just 2 of them.

    Their listing on mtjobs.com (#11) still has them in Wisconsin. A contact likes working for them,

    Too funny - whenever someone likes their company or accounts, someone has to say "this person is
    There are good and bad things about most companies. I'm just saying what I personally find to be true for this company. Take it or leave it.
    A contact says she likes it, sound is good, but you have to use autocorrect/text, no other expander

    May not be confidential information but gossip/rumor at this point and no employer likes that.
