Yes, I received 2,but just deleted them. They're not any better than any of the other ones, maybe worse. Plus, don't want to take the hours to test for them just to be ignored, like the last time a few years ago. I have better things to do.

I see it as a different road to the same garbage heap.

That makes at least 5 or 6 of us and we are only the ones who bothered to post. When I interviewed with them last week, the recruiter only had 1 job to offer me, which I thought was strange to begin with, and implied that if I didn't take it right away, the spot would be filled. Now we get this e-mail which sounds like an attempt at mass hiring to me. It's all too confusing.

I also received an "invitation".. and I told them everything I knew from personal experience and the postings I see as well as some of my friends. Transcend (who took over my company this year) was going to "call me" to do QA several months ago.. I am glad I am not still waiting. Liars, all of them. and 99% accuracy? hah! More like 70% is what I see coming through.
I work for N and still got an offer. Go figure. - nm

I am currently testing for a job with Nuance. Do you like working for them?
No. Now they've taken away the ability to cut and paste old - reports. My pay plummeted and frustration at

having to type big blocks of text being read from scratch and PEs and ROSs from dictators I seldom see has gone through the ceiling. I've tried waiting all this stuff out, but I'm sending out resumes every day now.
Put the text into autocorrect.Give it a shortcut & you can move - it around that way. Easy Peasy. nm
It's not able to be copied. Could use Shorthand for that, but they shut us out. - anon

It is very time consuming to go back and forth between the job you are working on and the old report. They need to develop a split screen function.
Yes, no copy-and-paste. We also use old reports for - references, and switching back and forth

to figure out missing words is a disaster. Unfortunately my memory is not phenomenal, so when someone's dictating an H&P with an unintelligible set of labs done in the ER, I can't just glance once at the ER report and remember all the values but have to go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Skip that, and QA, of course, will claim the information was readily available, which it was in one respect, but no longer in another.
Is there another PC in the house you could use to access - old jobs? Look at it as you type on the other. nm
I applied to RI Unlimited 3 months ago and never heard back--should I reapply? I got emails saying that I passed everything and then they said I would hear back but never did. What is your advice? Thanks. ...
I'm interested in applying for the MTS job posted, but I can't find a place on their web site to send a resume. What am I missing? I called the 800 number and it just had a menu for unrelated departments. ...
I just got an e-mail from a recruiter from Nuance asking me if I would like to apply for a job; i.e. they took over my former place of employment's transcription department and I had originally applied so I could stay on, but then decided not to-thus they still had my contact info. The recruiter said that they had merged with Transcend and that there was plenty of work, etc. I do need a job as my unemployment benefits will be running out by the beginning of the new year, or sooner if phas ...
Who can answer my questions?
1. When is a better time to apply to companies:
Beginning of December 2009
or
beginning of January 2010 ?
2. What VR platform/software does Focus use?
Is their transcription test timed?
3. What VR platform/software does Medquist use?
TIA

Just want to be sure my fellow MTs are well informed. If you apply at Teletrak, be prepared to be offered 8 cpl for 65 VBC line - this amounts to approximately 30% reduction in pay with the negative spaces. I used several old reports and figured line counts all ways and it was almost 30% less each time with VBC. I was told by the recruiter, "You'll probably have to work a few extra hours a day to make what you're used to, but in order to keep the client in a long-term ...
Never heard of such a thing! If this company does any outsourcing I hope the outsourced transcriptions also have to undergo this. This is totally absurd! ...
I would totally be leery of this job. They are liars and cheats and are always wanting you to work your days off and over, but pay you NO OVERTIME!! THIS COMPANY SUCKS AND DOES NOT GIVE A RATS BEHIND ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES. I have worked there 4 years and never got a raise, much less any respect for the 21 years I have worked as an MT. They have no respect for their employees. I WOULD NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY. THE REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES......... ...
besides the resume do you add--how much selling of your skill, etc? Some companies won't open an attachment, so I get the feeling they don't want much more. My feeling is if they see the resume and want more info they will contact me, but never sure.
Thanks for any insight.

I'll tell you how certain I am that there is NO future in medical transcription... anywyere: Last week a "good" MT job, onsite in a medical clinic, a short drive from where I live, was advertised. I didn't apply.
I work for a big national. I make so little money, I have to raid my savings every month to pay my rent. I've been seeking & applying for MT jobs all over the area, some as far as 80 miles away, and either not hearing back, or being tol ...
to apply for a position, but the online application keeps telling me to give distinct answers, which I did and it then tells me to correct the errors, which there were none. Can someone help me past this? ...
Did anyone else apply to this company in the past few days? I took the test and was waiting for a response from the company. Today I sent an email to follow up, and I received a reply stating that I had failed to submit a resume with my application and thus would not be considered for a position.
I truly don't remember seeing that I needed to submit a resume. Did anyone else apply and do you remember if the instructions said to submit a resume? Ughhh. What a stupid mistake I made!!! ...
Can't be all that bad. Where I work the pay is above 8 cpl but pay no spaces and I can't get above 1000 lines no matter how I bust my butt and I was a high producer. ...
the good and bad), but seem to have problems online. Is there a secret to applying? I worked for MQ years ago when they had a Tulsa office and left on good terms so am needing to come back. I sure hope they still use DQS. That has been my most favorite platform ...
Thank you in advance! By the way - anyone work there? From what I have learned is an MT, depending on the position you are hired, may get benefits from the Diskriter or benefits from the hospital in which you are assigned? Is that a good gig? Hospital benefits rock! I miss them! ...
I sent an email to the recruiter for Keystrokes asking that very question, but never got a response.
I don't think its crazy to want to know about their benefits, or the pay, before you even bother to go through the whole process of applying and testing. Am I wrong?
Set me straight folks! Thanks! ...
I went to their website where I tried to follow directions. They make it impossible. They ("Now Transcription") want you to fill out an application through "Accord Human Resources", then save it and email it to them along with your resume. But the application will not allow anyone to save it, or submit it anywhere as is. You basically waste your time filling it out just to find out nothing you filled out will be saved. And there's a huge glitch with the em ...
I have about 15 questions to ask about benefits, scheduling, training, pay per line, etc. I was wondering if I should call all of the companies now before I put in the time and effort for testing and application or if I should wait until a job is offered to me? Thanks for your help! ...
I posted below that my application and resume to Softscript would not upload when I tried over the weekend. Someone suggested I email jobs@ softscript which I did and got a response from a woman who said she did not receive my application and to please fill it out again. Well I just did that and it still will not go through. I replied to her email about this, said I don't know what else I can do and thanked her. Guess I'm just not supposed to work there. T ...
posted, or are my eyes just crossed from looking at this screen all day! It looks like they posted a job but don't say how to apply for it. Since over 500 people have looked at the ad and not mentioned this, am I missing something? ...
