survey - regulars here apply for any and every open posting? - Sm


Posted: Mar 31, 2014

I look at the new jobs posted on the seeker board.  I see that sometime 1000 people have opened the post.  I would like to know if everyone who opens the post sends an application.  Or in other words any regulars here apply for any and every open posting?  

I will look and not apply to 99% of them. - I did apply to TTS and Keystrokes

One contacted me immediately and the other has not.

It isn't like the old days where you would apply and 15 minutes later you had 5 people calling offering a job. Ah, the good old days.

Too many people trained based on the LIES of making easy money while wearing jammies and we ended up with a glut in the US market plus the offshore people and now we have to climb over 1000 people for a job that pays less than 4 cpl.

I also applied at Keystrokes - still optimistic

Taking the test now....didnt hear a lot of bad things about them..so hopefully I will pass the test and we will see from there what goes on..couldnt be any worse than where I am working now, thats for sure...

Is It Appropriate To Ask About Benefits Before You Apply For A Job Posting?
Jun 16, 2011

I sent an email to the recruiter for Keystrokes asking that very question, but never got a response.  I don't think its crazy to want to know about their benefits, or the pay, before you even bother to go through the whole process of applying and testing.  Am I wrong? Set me straight folks!  Thanks!  ...

Open Note From An MME

I have come on this site for awhile, mostly because this is a place where everyone gets what you do and can understand what you're going crazy over. Try telling your neighbor the ESLs are getting to you today and you get what I mean. However, since I have become an MME (in October), this has become a not so friendly place. I love doing QA work. I have been in this field for 20 years and feel I can and do help MTs out. When I make a correction, it's to give the MT some feedback, ...

FYI - Those Who Might Apply With Teletrak
Jan 16, 2011

Just want to be sure my fellow MTs are well informed.  If you apply at Teletrak, be prepared to be offered 8 cpl for 65 VBC line - this amounts to approximately 30% reduction in pay with the negative spaces.  I used several old reports and figured line counts all ways and it was almost 30% less each time with VBC.  I was told by the recruiter, "You'll probably have to work a few extra hours a day to make what you're used to, but in order to keep the client in a long-term ...
