Transcriptionist Interview Questions

I did as instructed. However, the audio file was completely unprofessional and unecessary. This company could have chosen any audio file with appropriate challenges for their transcription test. Instead, they chose a file which contained put-downs of the applicant, obscenity, and comments bordering on racial slurs. After going through the application process offered by this company, I would never work for them, even if offered a job. By the way, I don't know the outcome of my application yet.

As general transcriptionists, we will encounter all types of audio files [ yes, even those with obscenities, racial slurs, and what have you.] We have to be professional at all times and not be easily offended by words we hear or read from files/audios. Our job is to transcribe what we hear. Besides, a GoTranscript transcriber has the option to take or reject any job if he/she feels it violates/ contradicts/ offends her person/ beliefs etc.

I am well aware that transcriptionists often have to transcribe things verbatim. However, is that the most important point to push in a company's initial encounter with an employee? My point was that the company made a very poor (unprofessional) first impression with me based on the file they asked me to transcribe.

Which ever would keep me the busiest to earn the most money.

Am not interested in working for this company. I have and they no longer employ anyone who resides in California.

I replied that I did, to a limited degree.

No

I turned in the skills test.

Yes, I will.

I answered that I was very good at this, and told her about positions I've had that involved writing/editing.

I mastered their cheap software and made three perfect videos... it's not like it's hard and you have 24 hours to do it! For all I know they just run a scam where they get people like me to transcribe tons of videos for them for free and call it an application process.
