Yikes, Sure Took Them Long Enough.....sm - smeeps


Posted: May 04, 2011

I had taken Medgarde's test back in January of this year. Got an email TODAY with a questionnaire, which was the next step in the hiring process.  I DO have a job, out of the home but hey, weekends would be doable. Certainly couldn't hurtLaughing

How nice of them to get back to you in a timely manner - nm

This is the reality - of bombarding with resumes

[ In Reply To ..]
Some of the best jobs I've held were ones that held onto my resume and called months later.

I totally agree. I applied to a mid-sized company, did not hear back for six months, and out of the blue they called me. I have a great job, great cpl, nice and honest people. Sometimes it pays to wait. And, sadly, I cannot put their name because I did it once and they were swamped with resumes and have asked me not to post their name again. But the good companies are out there. You just have to kiss a few toads, etc. (I had to kiss MQ--eew!--before finding the right company.)

Quite likely we do. In all of my years in this profession (I am getting ready to retire) I have never had a job as pleasant as this one. :)

Yikes!
Apr 23, 2012

Ok, so I've been spoiled. I was one of the few MQ employees that was only recently transferred to voice wreck from a transcription only account. After 2 weeks of MINIMAL training, I was thrown to the wolves practically without any assistance to master "the beast".  After these 2 weeks of training, I'm BARELY producing 1200 lines per day...and realize I need to be producing 2400 a day to achieve a lower limit of the salary I WAS achieving. Yes, I've been spoiled. My question i ...

Geez!  I was hired by a national last Friday.  It is a full week later, and they haven't even gotten all the paperwork done.  I thought I had completed it all and then they said human resources forgot a few papers.  Well, they have yet to email them to me today.  I thought I would be at least training by now.  It has been a full week.  I mean they still have to install software on my computer, and I still have to train on ES and the account specs.  Ge ...

Why Does It Take So Long?
Mar 08, 2011

Anyone out there notice this?  That it takes twice as long to do an op note anymore in ASR what with all the cutting, pasting, standards, going back to check whether or not to delete headings, blah, blah.  It used to be a cinch to simply bring in one of my standards and make the appropriate changes according to the audio, but now with ASR, it takes twice as long.  I feel like I'm running in place and going nowhere just to make ASR learn something.  It's such a waste ...

How Long Does It Take To Not Be Known As An MT
Jan 24, 2013

I have known where this 'profession' was headed for years; even in the late 1990s I knew. I earned the education that I need with both an associate degree and bachelor's degree (bachelor's degree from Big 10 university) and, still, many people view me as an MT, which we can all agree is not good. I have experience in my new line of work, and I have worked in that field in the past. How long is it really going to take before people do not view me with all the negative stereoty ...

I've done my time! On to something else! I can't say my experience here has been terrible, certainly not as bad as some others I have seen, but I just feel it's time to go. Something else presented itself and I took it.  I'll still be checking in on you all once in awhile.  Would like to especially like to wish the potential coders well; I think that's a great opportunity! Wish me luck! ...


How Long Did It Take You To Get Off Of QA?

I have only been working a couple of months at Nuance and I am just wondering how long it takes to get off of QA and become DSP status.  It feels like QA is nitpicking me to death.  This is the longest I have ever been on QA before.  How long does it generally take to get off of QA.  My last audit was 99.85%.   I cannot seem to get a straight answer from my TSM either... ...

That Took Me Long Enough!
Mar 23, 2015

I quit today. No 2 weeks notice. No anything. "You won't ever be able to work for Nuance again if you do this." That's like saying, "You won't ever be able to hit yourself in the face with a hammer again if you throw it away."  There is NO WAY an MT can survive not knowing what they will make week to week. Who can budget like that? They can stick their "compensation plan" up their yin yang.  I am free!  :)  ...

After Long Deliberation
Feb 16, 2010

After over a year without an MT job I have decided to turn my degree into a Nursing assistant degree. Not to say the MT jobs aren't out there it is just tough for newer MT's to land them with all of the competition. Employers have the right and the demand to be very picky with everyone vying for the position. Good luck to everyone who stays and does well in the MT business but it is time for me to turn my dreams into reality and start making a little green. ...

How long does it take you to type 600 lines?  I am considering taking an at-home position in addition to my in-house transcription position.  The minimum line count for this company is 1800 lines a week and I'd like to not have to work more than three days a week for them, which would be 600 lines per day.  I believe I'd be typing straight into Word, so the only quick-text I'd be using is the Microscoft AutoCorrect.  I would be transcribing clinic notes wi ...
