Questions regarding upcoming interview and need help please - ms


Posted: Mar 09, 2010

I have an upcoming interview with a company and I have been not working for about a year now and was wondering if someone could give me some info on what I should be asking.  It is for part-time so no benefits.  What would be ideal right now.  I know things have changed dramatically in the MT world from what I have been reading on the posts, so what is a good rate per line and should lines include spaces and headers, etc.  Anything help would be grealy appreciated.

 

Thanks

I'd say average is probably 8 cpl, and yes that should include spaces, etc. There's a zillion questions you could ask. I would sure inquire about built-in expander or what expander programs work with their platform, if patient information is uploaded or you have to look it all up, if there is flexibility in your worked hours, if you are penalized for errors, what kind of technical support they provide (with 1-800 numbers?), if they have direct deposit (be v. cautious if not), when you are paid... good luck!

Any Current Info On Transolutions? Upcoming Interview
Sep 01, 2010

I have an interview with Transolutions tomorrow. I applied for their STAR team and am curious about types of accounts, flexibility of work schedule, general info like that. I've already received the PDF on their compensation schedule and insurance benefits, so I have an idea what they pay. Just curious what they expect for the line counts they offer, what management is like, do they follow BOS, etc. Any and all comments welcomed, although I've mostly seen the negatives in the archives ...

Does anyone know why sometimes you can't see the upcoming jobs at the top on DQS?  I almost thought that I was going to get NJA lol.... but no... we have loads of work from what I am told.  But it is weird that it isn't showing the job next up. ...


Upcoming Holidays

Becoming a little/lot concerned.  Realizing that we wiill have low work.  Don't have much PTO built up because of having to use it for prior NJA.  Wondering what will happen.  I think a lot of us are in this same boat.  We don't have much or none at alll built up and there will be little to no work.  ARGH!!!!!!  Another layer of stress. ...


Wmx/Nuance Upcoming Rate Changes
Nov 05, 2011

Shall we make our guesses?  Wonder if the new pay scale will be an across the board percentage reduction in rates or will everyone be moved to the bottom rate of 8 and 4?  What about the people recently hired who make 8 and 4?  Will they go even lower? My personal opinion (pure speculation on my part) is they might just reduce all shift differentials and perhaps jack with the incentive plan some more.  I know they were going to roll out this new pay scale soon, but the anti ...


Upcoming Changes -- Funny Thought
Oct 29, 2014

I know, I must be in beginning stages of dementia, but... What if the changes were not all bad?  Considering they are having to have sign on bonuses to get new hires and I understand current employees are still dropping like flies maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  This new quality stuff I am not sure about, but can it be worse than Fiesa? ...

Imedx And Upcoming Town Hall Meeting
May 10, 2015

I am curious what other MTs at Imedx think about the upcoming Town Hall meeting at Imedx.  I feel it is another effort, just like the employee suggestion program, to try to put a pretty face on a very ugly, dirty company.  I think Imedx perhaps made a mistake when they bought out TranTech, a good-sized company with many long-time, good, intelligent MTs who were used to being treated with respect. We simply are not going to sit idly by when treated like crap and not put u ...

As MTs, We Should Actually Interview The Companies!
Mar 03, 2010

If you are an MT with 10 or more years experience (actually a requirement with 1 company), and you are testing and interviewing, consider this.  When you do your research on a company that you are applying with, print all the negative posts such as "horrible platform, hardly ever any work, pay is slow, they offshored my account, VR problems, etc., etc."  If you score perfectly on your test and have good recommendations, land an actual interview, we should address these concer ...

Transcribing An Interview
Jul 14, 2010

I am doing some side work transcribing a research interview, and was wondering your opinions.  One of the respondents in the interview panel is ESL.  Her grammar is very often incorrect.  I asked them when I got the project if they wanted the transcription verbatim, and she said "yes, let's leave it true to form."  I had asked because the previous work had a lot of "like" and "you know" in it, and transcribing every utterance was actually really hard.  ...
