You are obviously talking about CorTmedical
They claim that actually was corrected. They also claim they don't offshore, but I know for a fact that their clients do. Not all of them, but some. It's a word game. Focus Infomatics is a biggy client that offshores that they hire for.
Not to me. What was the number one that he or she was talking about? (nm)

I think you should re-read what you're talking about...
There is more to it than you think. Banter on a message board is not going to get you $$, so if you're implying that people are promoting CS for the sole purpose of getting the moolah, you're wrong...

My gosh, a grad from M-Tec/Andrews, obviously trying to discredit CS. Who says it doesn't happen? Oh..that's right. M-Tec and Andrews says it. Right.
Fast talking dictators
What do you guys do when you get a dictator who rattles off words so fast you have no idea what they are saying?  I have tried to slow down the dication but it still doesn't help.  I can barely make out a word this guy is saying.  Half of my typed document is blank spaces and I don't want to turn it in to QA this way.
Can I ask what company you're talking about?
nm
I thought she was talking about the E school
Right, that couldn't have been M-Tec. Wonder if the person attended that school with the name that looks like M-Tec?

Couldn't have been Andrews, either. They provide quality references as part of the course, so you don't pay extra. They're the ones some nationals require you to have. They use SUM and now include the ESL set. Their instructors teach different modules, so you learn to deal with a variety of QA approaches and styles, but they all use the same guidelines. They also help you see what can vary, so there's no surprise later. They doesn't require attendance at online classes, but they provide technical support even for grads, even years later. Support for jobs begins at enrollment with focus on employer needs and how to fit with that and you get access to employer recommendations well before graduation. Andrews simply has a list of employers who will hire their grads even if they otherwise require years of experience. I don't think they've ever had a grad who had trouble getting a job and most seem to get the job of their choice. They also remove problem employers from their list as soon as they hear about undesirable practices so that their grads don't get burned. So, whatever school that woman went to, it wasn't Andrews, either.




Oh yeah, like I said, it
will help you because the terminology, etc will come easier to you than someone who has never heard any of that before, but still, I think in order to actually be an MT, it does take the full training. Also, most companies won't hire you until you have done the full training.
Yeah, but...
In other words, the payment you make in April 2006 has to be for the tax year 2006?
yeah right lol
nm
Oh yeah!

I have this and the lumbar support cushion.  Heaven!!  I sleep on a Tempur-Pedic mattress, too. 


Yeah, this is the guy...
Who was going to call me in 3-5 minutes, a over a week ago.

yeah...
I just don't have a good feeling about it. Has anyone else received anything similar from here?

Thanks
yeah, ok
ok so I messed up...
yeah but but but
the thing is -- actual work experience, actually working at home without help, does make a big big difference. Being able to work the different work platforms, or some experience working some platform.  Knowing how to solve problems THEN we get to the terrible terrible dictators.  Sometimes, all I can hear is a tongue mumbling amd flicking back and forth inside the mouth.  Unbelievable what is expected from MT with absolute perfection.
Yeah, ask about "placement."
nm
Yeah, what's the big secret?
nm
Yeah, right, like we will see that same post in another 10 years or even 5. (nm)
x
Yeah, and if you can't make it as an MT after taking the VLC course,
you can always take their basket making class.
Oh yeah, that's real nice
You ought to be ashamed of yourself to say that you are helping people when you are dangling a position in her face, and then have enough nerve to rant about it.  Everyone has a different situation.  So, she says she is Mom first, aren't we all?  Geez....  You people are amazing.  Lisa, I commend you, for standing up for yourself.  You'll make it in this business because it does take assertiveness whether it be now or in the future.  Do not think for one minute there are not people in this field choosing their own hours so they can be mothers plus have an income.  God bless, good luck, and take care of your children and your business as they only have one mother, but there are plenty of jobs out there for the taking. 
Yeah, it's called Caller ID - nm
xx
Yeah, it's a tough call (SM)
 Like you said, it depends on the person.  Regardless, there's a big learning curve for getting it right in this career.  I hope for the best for the OP!
Yeah, I wondered the same thing...


Yeah, I know what you mean. I tried to do it all for years with small kids,
schooling, learning a new job, handling the household and finances. Something's going to suffer, and most likely, EVERYTHING will suffer. We can't do it all by ourselves and we shouldn't be expected to. Unfortunately, smacking someone upside the head with a 2x4 is considered assault, but smacking them upside the head with a legal document outlining child support amounts and visitation requirements is quite effective.
LOL Yeah, you've MASTERED those subjects. LOL
LOL
LOL Yeah, you've MASTERED those subjects. LOL
I don't see anything funny about that. I have spent extra time doing extra work because I really want to be the best that I can be. I have been tested and passed with a 98 for everything, except for Pharmacology because they don't offer that in the school that I am in. I am very motivated and don't mind going the extra mile to be the best that I can be. I'm sorry that you don't think anyone could do this. Yes, things are always changing and as they change I will be up to date with all of the changes.
lol yeah, you've MASTERED those subjects lol
I'm not in school fot MT, I'm in school for Medical Office Specialist Billing/Coding, so they don't offer pharmacology. I wasn't boasting, I was clearly stating that I have mastered the subjects that I have taken and believe I could do very well with an MT position with the knowledge that I have now. You don't need to do the work in order to master the subject matter. Mastering the subject and the job is 2 different things, but I guess you don't know that, being that you have done the job for 25 years. Thanks for being encouraging. ;)
Yeah, I've noticed people do that a lot here.
nm
and how about menter? Oh, yeah, let's hire her today!**snort** nm
x
Yeah, like one company maybe out of multiple hundreds. Misinformed. nm
nm
Yeah, like who? Name names if this is so. Who would want to work for Spheris to begin with? They
the biggest offshoring national out there. What's the big deal?

This bologna is repeated over and over again with no real proof of any places that hire without testing these grads just like anyone else. So, they have a deal with Spheris, big deal. There are companies much better than Spheris out there that pay better, have better accounts, care about quality and don't offshore our work!

It's all advertising. The students pay for it too, and don't think they don't.

You would cringe at what goes on behind the scenes with these schools.

You say "many" large nationals? What do you consider large? There aren't that many LARGE nationals to begin with, and the ones that are out there aren't worth the time to talk about. Been there, done that!

It is BS. All of it.
