Perguntas de entrevista da empresa SpeakWrite

Application is completely online. No one speaks to you. However, you have to take a typing test and must pass the required minimum speed. Once your application is approved, you will be contacted via email with the next steps to do. You need to do 10 transcription tasks. Deadline is in 30 days from date started. However, you can complete it within a few days if you have none to do and by the next week if you pass them all, you can start. You work best with a foot pedal although it is not compulsory. The best thing is, they tell you what your mistakes are and they let you correct them, for up to two rounds of corrections only.

I filled out some information on their site and received further information by email. I had to download their software and follow instructions to go through their training. After you watch a bunch of videos and take quizzes on the material, you can do the typed exercises. You are referred to their online help system to answer any questions. Their style guide is way too confusing and hard to find the information you need, even using the search function. It is also contradictory in places, which is very annoying. Their software is archaic and apparently can randomly change your document when you save it, and you'll be blamed for the mistakes. I know because I saved copies of what I had submitted and when I was sent what needed to be corrected, there were some differences between what I had saved and what they sent back to me. Very odd. After making the changes and resubmitting everything, I was told they couldn't offer me a position but no explanation of why at all. It would have been more helpful to see what was supposedly wrong. I've seen here that you are supposed to have three opportunities to review things and resubmit but I guess that's inaccurate. I'm really confused because I definitely corrected all of the items they said were wrong, even the ones that were not mistakes that I made. The whole process was an exercise in frustration because of their clunky software, contradictory style guide, and vague instructions. I am actually relieved that I was not hired because if their application process is this ridiculous, I'm almost certain that working for them must even worse.
