Update on Reactivating Application (from a couple of days ago) - FutureMQer?

Posted: Jun 23, 2010

Just an update for the posters I was speaking with the other night about reactivating my application at MQ and going part-time...

Apparently once you're hired and have accepted a position, you do remain in the system and all it takes is reactivation to put you back into the process. The rep I spoke with was very nice and emailed the appropriate department to contact me tomorrow to get everything reactivated and continue processing me as a new hire. I'm not sure if testing will be required but presumably I'll find out more tomorrow. She said they normally get back to "employees" quickly under these circumstances so they can get them placed onto an appropriate account. I guess it's smart business...if someone's qualified and you've hired them but they have to temporarily step down, that person has already been through the formalities and, unless something drastic has happened (such as injury or something to prevent working in the interim) that person should be good to go with reactivation, maybe just sign an updated paperwork package with a current date and be ready to train.

On the other hand, YOWZA. Even I wasn't prepared for things to happen this quickly, but I'm certainly not complaining! As I said the other night, I really need the part-time income and the fact that their "big brother" tendencies makes it that easy to track me and reactivate me is actually somewhat impressive, if I were to allow myself to be objective.

Hopefully tomorrow brings a speedy revelation...and maybe by this time tomorrow I'll know whether I'm speaking with fellow MTs who happen to work at MQ or whether I'm speaking with my new crew of awesome CO-WORKERS!

Have a great evening and I'll keep you posted...To anyone not interested, my apologies in advance :-)

I just checked my email and have an invitation to test - FutureMQer?

So they do require updated testing, then it says the recruiter will contact me to place me on a suitable account and expedite updated paperwork to me.

Wow...it really WAS just that easy!

Anyway, for anyone who might find themselves in a similar position, it appears unlike the initial hire, they really do expedite getting you on board.

Do they normally schedule the training pretty quickly once you have your equipment? It sounds like they're pretty desperate to get people up and running, so I'm assuming it's not a "sit-and-wait" like some MTSOs (the ones that even bother to contact you about training after they've "hired" you, that is).

TIA for any tips and have a great evening!

Would be curious to know - CyberlandMT

Since I've referred someone to test, and my date of hire was umpteen years ago. Then, it was merely test your skills with a live person supervising. Way before the days of technology automation. And the buyouts into #1 MTSO. Curious to see how the new process works. I would imagine if an MT had kept up the skills as technology progessed, there wouldn't be much of a problem?

Hi everyone I just wanted to stop by really quick and let you all know that finally, FINALLY I am off QA. I was given two accounts today in addition to the one they had initially given me. I can now type w/o counting my reports and waiting for feedback first. It remains to be seen of course, whether or not there will be as much work as I was told but so far, this company has been true to their word. Still, four days on a very restrictive QA protocol was quite scary. I am a LOT grayer now ...

what to do about. I am on unemployment right now honestly making more than when I was working. It is not much, but it is steady. I have an offer for an interview with an MT company, but after all the other companies I have been with, I am about positive it will be the same as always (very little work, very low and unsteady pay...we all know the story). Should I even interview or stay with UI, which is steady and honestly better pay. Also, I have a friend wanting to ...

After all, MModal has a Facebook page. We need to start an anti-MModal Facebook Page. We could write stories of what is happening to us with this company and how we are treated and send in pictures of us working ourselves to death, etc. Even spouses could get involve and family members how we are to work during holidays, but then there is no work, yet we are to get our hours in. We write on MTstars, why not have one for Facebook????? ...

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 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 would like to open a dialogue with 2 or 3 individuals with a minimum of 15 years experience in the field of medical transcription. There is an alternative to explore in terms of taking back our profession and our livelihoods, and I need a couple of people knowledgeable in our field to brainstorm an idea with me. No naysayers, please. I want to talk to people who have not already given up on MT and are willing to think outside the box with me to seriously consider the feasibil ...

I am scheduled early morning and I have checked all day, every day and there is no work.

Sorry to keep bugging you guys, but I figured you all would level with me. Does Nuance provide you with a computer, or do you have to use your own? Are your paychecks on time? I guess the biggest question is do you normally have a steady flow of work? Right now it's so bad where I'm at that I sign on around 8 a.m. and sit here well into the evening trying to get in 6 hours a day. I realize you run out of work from time to time, that's normal; but it's ...

I'm stuck at mmodal after 2 buyouts and a job there is precarious at best. This board is just as depressing and bad as theirs. Instead of all the run away and don't go there stuff, what is the insurance, and what is that quarterly bonus thing about? My friend I worked with from DSG before they got bought out my mmodal went to Nuance on an escription account and actually likes her job, plenty of work, good super. I suppose it's all in the roll of the dic ...

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 ...
