Application - notsure
Posted: Apr 19, 2010
Has anyone filled out an online application for a company called QED that asks for your social security number, and did you provide it?
Not a direct answer to your question, but - I would not do it

I've never applied to QED where they asked for my Social Security Number, but I won't give my SSN out to anyone willy-nilly like that. If they are hiring me and I'm filling out new hire paperwork, then of course they need it. But I won't give it out if I'm just applying and haven't been hired yet. They don't need it then and I won't give it to them until/unless they actually hire me.
I wouldn't give it to them unless I had paperwork in hand. - mrs.krabs

I would absolutely not given my SS number until AFTER I had been hired. No exceptions!
I agree - do not give out SS# - RLee

I don't even know why it would be on an application - unless it is some way to prove you are an American citizen. Nonetheless, I would not give it out until I was hired.
I never post address & SS# online, email. Use phone - .

I just don't like online/email paper trails for others to access and not even know it.
My computer crashed, and I lost everything on it, including the names of some past supervisors and their contact info. I keep calling and e-mailing my old jobs and can't get in touch with anyone that can give me this information.
So I apply for new jobs, and I need this info to put on my job applications. What should I put instead, since I don't have it? I put the name and address of the company and telephone number. What should I put for the supervisor name and contact numb ...
After being scared to death to make a change (or mistake) I revamped my resume and faxed it for a job for a non-profit organization working for those with disabilities. I probably won't get it and might not even pay as much as transcription still does, but was liberated that I took the risk finally. Thanks Q for getting me out of my comfort zone~~~ ...
I recently applied to a Craiglist ad for a medical secretary in a neurologist's office. I wrote that I would be available for medical transcription services in my home office, hoping they would consider outsourcing this part of their work.
The doctor emailed me yesterday saying he was very impressed with my credentials and would I consider working for them full time ( which I don't want).
I've got a bit of writer's block about how to reply to him so that he might cons ...
I'm just wondering if anyone can answer this for me. I know it sounds like a really ditzy question but...here goes. I just filled out an online application for US Transcription and completed their transcription test. I submitted it and it says the test sent but it took me right back to the transcription test page. Does anyone know if you have to do more than one? It didn't specify. ...
Hey! I've just recently moved and quit my transcription job working in a hospital. I'm actually looking to work for an online company but am really leary about scams. I wanted to apply with Medquist since I've seen people talking about it, but one of the first things they want is my ssn. That just seemed odd to me. Any opinions on this? Am I just being too paranoid? ...
I am filling out a non-MT job application, and I need to list an address for MQ. The last paycheck I have states Mount Laurel, NJ; however the MQ website now says Franklin, TN? Anyone know what address I should use? Thanks! ...
I quit my transcription job this past summer after almost 15 years in the transcription field. Everything that I enjoyed about transcription when I started was no longer there. I was tired of seeing my pay go down, benefits being taken away, and sitting for hours trying to get my work done. I wasn't sure if I was going to try and find another transcription job or just take some much needed time off. I was looking at some job postings at a local hospital, and they have a position for a s ...
I just submitted an application to Amphion. I have 20+ years experience as well as supervisory in a hospital. My application instantly came back saying I did not meet their requirements. Maybe overqualified?? ...
I'm usually not stupid, really, but I've tried for several days to sign on on the Nuance site application page but don't ever get the "two words with a space" right. First of all, I see a word and a box with a number--do I type both of those, counting the number as a word? Hasn't worked so far. I tried "unscrambling" the word I saw and making it 2 words, but that only worked once and I still didn't get into the application part.
Can someone please clue me in? ...
Hi everyone,
I would like to know if anyone else has recently applied to Softscript for a typing test and was told they did NOT pass?
I have been a very good MT for about 25 years and was very surprised to be told about this! They didn't send me the corrections, either! ...
Once you have gone through the first phase of the on-line application process and answered all the questions, ending up at a screen which says "thank you", then what happens? I did not see any section to submit a resume or whether anyone would call or email or whether I'm supposed to call or email or what the next step in the on-line application process may be. TIA for any and all help with this. ...
I am trying to apply at Globespan but when I try to download my resume onto the online application I keep getting an error message. You are supposed to download it in Word or pdf format. I thought I was downloading it in Word, but it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone out there know what would cause this not to work? I really need some help with this since I am really anxious to apply for the opening. Please help if you can. Thank you so much. ...
as though they have a very complicated application process. Just reading the instructions had me cross-eyed. Also, in addition to the written test, application, they also WANT 6 VOICE FILES TRANSCRIBED for their testing?? This seems a bit excessive to me... esp. since they have not given any details re. their pay rate, etc. ...
Hi ladies,
Has anyone here applied for work at Softscript Transcription based in California?
I had to purchase a new computer with Windows 8 on it for Microsoft Word.
I have had some problem downloading their Audio files onto it and playing them back via the foot pedal.
I tried to contact their Techsupport for assistance, but the tech told me that "We cannot help you until we have verification that you have been officially hired by the company."
I had been told by their Recruitment ...
I applied for a position through the KS website - when I check my status, it shows no "consent" yet. I do not quite understand this - does this mean they provide a "consent" if they want me to go further and take the test ?? If so, would this "consent" show up in an email notification or do I keep checking my status to see ?
Thanks for any info. ...
with CBS Transcription. The recruiter provided test results which has not happened on the few times I tested for a company. Her emails were not canned text and she was quite pleasant. Unfortunately, CBS uses Express Scribe which is an AWFUL program now. I could not get the auto backstep to work no matter what I did with the settings. Not sure how one could make any money using that. ...
Does anyone know how long it will take them to respond? Just curious, I am very interested in a few positions they listed open and am eager to hear if I qualify! ...
Does anyone know how to keep IT attached to one application? I've tried every combination of linking, and I cannot keep it attached to my transcription screen. Thanks! ...
Ocular exam by ophthalmologist... Dictator says "An s/l okayindrum application on an I-Touch phone was used individually on each eye and separately." Any help is greatly appreciated! ...
Wow, maybe it's just because I've been doing radiology for so long but just looking at the instructions for their testing and application process is EXHAUSTING! Is it just me? Anyone know how they are to work for? Is it worth all the pain? :) ...
