Filled out online application for Keystrokes - mtanon

Posted: Jun 16, 2011

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!

depends on who you are, I guess... - alias

I had interviewed with them over five years ago and ended up turning down a position in orthopedics because I was paid more from my then employer. I was also IC and did not want to give up that status to be employee. I have since had many changes of mind, sent numerous resumes in the past five years, having regreted my decision not to joint them, and they will not respond to me in any way, shape or form. I am primarily ortho and that is one of the positions they are recruiting for. My most recent application/resume was one month ago. No response. So, good luck to you! They must have black marks all over my employment profile and I do not know how to change that at this point. I would go in a heartbeat this time...more water under the bridge I am on, and ready to sail away from where I am now, if given the opportunity. I hope you get it.

You are much better off - that should give you a clue as to what

Things are not looking promising. So far, I'm getting a lot of conflicting information and a lot of promises. I'm not feeling good about this deal at all.

My experience has been nothing but positive. I'm glad I made this choice!! The new-hire process was a bit frustrating at first, but since starting all has been great.

All KS newbies take heed... - things get worse

No they don't. KS is fun to work for. - KS MT

I think you are just jealous you let a itty bitty problem become so big in your mind that you felt you had to leave and now you regret it. KS is really the only good one left out there, and I've tried many of them.

Fun and work don't go in the same sentence - just me

I doubt that working for Keystrokes is fun. Unless you have such a sweet account that you're making huge money per hour every day and there is always tons of work. Then, you would have time to have FUN when and if you ever had time off. Their rules for taking time off and how much time you accrue is slim.

But thanks for the good laugh.

I totally agree, I back up that statement. - Obviously reality has not yet set in.

What is fun about being on production?

April Fool's is long gone.

Been at KS several years now. - Very nice place to work.

[ In Reply To ..]
It was one of my luckiest breaks I have had.

NO regrets. - Just honest answers.

FUN? You must work in the office. I understand it is a party there all of the time. Production and fun do not go together in the same sentence. Stop thinking, it could be dangerous for you.

15 cents a line makes it fun with all the overtime. - I like it!

[ In Reply To ..]
All you bitter people will never find a good company because you read the worst into everything. Change your attitude and you'll change your life.

I doubt KS is paying 15 cents a line much less 10 cents a line - especially after pay cuts.

That is my OT rate and lots of OT right now. - Very, very nice.

[ In Reply To ..]
OT has been going on for quite awhile now and will continue in the foreseeable future. KS does have a higher pay scale than other services. I was quite surprised when they showed that to us.

Overtime is 1 1/2 x what regularly make. Again... - I highly doubt you are making .10/line.

Your feeling is correct. - KS is bad news.

I applied for a position through the KS website - when I check my status, it shows no "consent" yet.

If so, would this "consent" show up in an email notification or do I keep checking my status to see ? Thanks for any info. ...

people can be so stupid, or oblivious, to the fact that they have an over-abundance of MTs during the week that run out of work on a constant basis but, on the weekends, work is over-flowing to the tune of "help help help". Can they not figure out that if they would cough up just a few more cents a line for someone to cover weekend shifts, and offer it IN HOUSE first, that this all could be eliminated? Of course, I don't know why it amazes me. These people never were in the tra ...

If a doctor says something that a third grader would know is nonsense and the MLS leaves a blank, why does the QC person fill it in? We're supposed to use critical thinking skills, but yet they fill in something stupid when it's blatantly wrong. Then, we get an email with all kinds of information regarding normal laboratory values and we are supposed to use critical thinking skills for all that and determine when it is normal or abnormal. Oh, I'm still waiting for my MD degree t ...

Got an e-mail from TransTech that the positions for the rad MT job posting on the Job Seeker's Board dated 3/6/2012 are filled, however, the posting is still listed here, so not sure what the real deal is. I'm sure someone from their company will see this post then remove the ad. But, I do wonder if they just don't want to hire and pay a good line rate for an experienced MT. If anyone else applied for this posting, did you also receive that e-mail? ...

Hi, I am new to the independent contractor thing, but shouldn't a company that has "hired" you as an independent contrator have your SS and a 1099 filled out by you? Just wondering as it seems to me this is necessary and since it is not being done, it makes me wonder about this company that much more, espcially since others have stated they have not been paid by this company. I guess if they are not planning on paying me they don't need a 1099 or SS# huh? ...

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 ...

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 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? ...
