Anybody know if AHD is still hiring? - Polar Bear

Posted: Feb 27, 2014

Saw an ad by them from this past January and curious if positions are all filled at this time. Anybody know?

No! - sad

they were deluged and people rarely leave, so sad.

Sad Too - anon

That is sad. Tested with them; told did well. Never heard back from them again. Silly me, guess that's what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket. Back to square one again :(

Really? - Duh???

And where do you get your information from? Is this a fact or just stirring the pot a little?

I don't know. I just started and I may not make it. sm - Unsure

I wasn't told that people rarely leave. There are a lot of good things, but I feel unsure about a lot of things as well. It feels like they just assume I know things that were never explained to me. I hope I make it, but in all honesty, if I fail, it wasn't just me that failed on this one as they failed me too.

could you elaborate in a general - way

what it is you feel is missing in your training? Like there are about 799 MTs eagerly circling your post and you could warn about the deficiency to look out for.

I probably should not have posted at all. I do not want sm - Unsure

to seem unprofessional and I am not trashing AHD. Most of the people I have talked with have been friendly and helpful when I reached out to them. One of them is rather stiff and humorless and makes me feel like I'm dumb as a box of rocks, but perhaps she is just busy and/or that is just her nature. When I read the posting by the lady "in tears" below, I thought perhaps she worked at AHD. I'll either make it or I won't. I suppose my first step should be addressing my concerns with the woman who hired me. She seemed "real" and perhaps she can either help me or tell me to cut my losses and leave. At least I would know. I hate limbo or feeling unsure of things.

thanks for your response - hoping

you are merely experiencing new job hiccups. You did not denigrate the company with your post. Good luck to you!

P.S. - My guess was

that "In Tears" was at Opti working on that fabled horrible account. Just my guess though, have no knowledge.

Maybe it is Patient Fist. I still laugh at that one. nm - It might be a great place

OMG!!! - Not this again!

I still laugh about this one too!

Thanks so much. I do want this to work as I would sm - Unsure

like to find a "home" and just work as long as I can. Just because something is different doesn't mean it is wrong. I don't need someone to hold my hand and pat me on the head and tell me what a good little MT I am. I just have never had this little instruction, but then again no one yells at me, so maybe no news is good news.

As for the "in tears" post, I hope it is not Opti, as most of the posts I have seen talk about that company like it is the Holy Grail of MT. Of course, one man's treasure is another man's junk.

Good luck to you as well in all you do.

Anything I can help with on here? - ETOHPRN

I have to stay anonymous, as I don't think they want us talking to our coworkers except for management, so it will have to be directly through this board. Why that is, I have no idea. I've never asked.

Obviously, I can't answer anything about specific accounts (I don't even honestly know how many they have!). But are you overwhelmed with account specifics or is it more getting your machine up to snuff and the programs required to do that?

You should definitely contact whoever you've been speaking to from the get go. They WANT people they hire to succeed. It is much easier to retain people and keep them happy than to take the time needed to get someone set up with programs, account information, and training.
:)

Hang in there. When I first started, I too felt overwhelmed but I'm pretty sure that's normal. Don't be so hard on yourself. They're pretty persnickety about who they hire, so you obviously made the cut somewhere along the line.

ETOH's posts are always so classy. If everyone at AHD is as pleasant and forthcoming as she is, it has to be a great place. I will butt out now and let you two converse.

Thanks, you are very kind. I think it is just new job jitters. sm - Unsure

I know that I worry too much about things. I just don't want to be messing up, causing extra work for others trying to fix my blunders, and them sitting there wondering, how in the heck did we get stuck with her. Might be time to kick back with my massage cushion and have some ice cream and de-stress. :-) Thanks again. People can sometimes be less than kind on here sometimes, so I appreciate you and the other poster being so thoughtful.

I got hired too when the ad came out - and was thinking...

[ In Reply To ..]
the same thing. I was on training not even for 2 weeks and was put on my own. I'm thinking they give us all the info for acct specs and platform and we are responsible for our own research of it for learning. There is still a lot I don't know, but I figure if I make a mistake they'll tell me quick enough, and learn from that. I just found out they have IM also, but have no idea which IM.

it almost appears that they aren't the high and mighty company that everyone makes them out to be. Maybe some of you people should count your blessings and move on forward. JMO.

I have been happy. The platform is simple, dictators average, and the people I have dealt with have been helpful and kind. Training wasn't much, I admit, but I passed my 1st audit, so I guess things are as they should be. I do straight typing, the insurance is inexpensive compared to some, and people leave me alone. I've definitely worked at places that were far worse.

I want to work a part time job to supplement my other part time job at Nuance because sometimes there is no work. I see an opening at TTS but when reviewing posts about TTS it sounds like a bad place to work with incompetent recruiters and managers. It seems 95% of the posts are bad regarding TTS. I am leery about working for a company that keeps advertising for help, especially if it isn't a large one like Nuance or MQ. Is this a good company where there is work or ...

Are any decent MTSOs actually hiring ICs... and I mean IC in the traditional meaning of the word; not locked into some arbitrary schedule design, but a daily line committment. I have 10 years experience. The company I was working for no longer has the account I was working on. They have given me some pick up work here and there, but I can't live on $100 a week or less from odd jobs while they find something new and steady. They estimate it may take 60-90 days for that to h ...

Christmas is coming and I have 5 kids and everything is going wrong (septic tore up, car tore up, etc.). There are tons of posts for Nuance, Softscript, etc....

some part-timers anyway, why not offer weekends to part-timers and offer some Mon-Fri shifts for the experienced full-time MTs you're trying to get.....

I have not received anything about these supposed 40 j ...

Is this just a scam so that employers don't have to pay benefits and employer taxes? I bet if there was an audit, most ICs and MTSOs would be in trouble for using that classification improperly, especially for the full-time positions. I even applied for a full-time secretarial job in a small law office recently, and was told I would be hired as a contractor with no benefits. I was stunned and declined. I need to check with the labor department to see if some of my concern ...

I've been on this list for a few months now, despite the frequent job ads placed, and have yet to be notified about anything available. ...

I have 12 yrs experience in acute care, radiology, and clinic, and it's amazing to me how for some reason it seems impossible to pass these tests. Is it just me? ...

They only hire for 2nd shift and that is to do the leftover, picked-through work from 1st shift. There is no way to make good money going this, though they give you a month to get up to 135 lph, which at 8.5 cpl is a whopping 11.48/hour. During training, on the 2nd evening of work, this is how I got treated, getting the worst of the work. I do not get any job satisfaction in doing others' leftover work; it makes me feel li ...

Does anyone know if the position FutureNet is hiring for is for an oncology account or acute care? I would like to apply but not sure I am qualified. I'm looking for hem/onc job. This is sort of confusing to me. I have never seen a company ask for acute care experience if it is for oncology transcription. Any information would be appreciated. ...
