Fishy (not about Nuance) - Anon

This isn't about Nuance, but as this seems to be the most frequented forum, I thought I would post here.

This morning I applied for a transcription position with a cover letter and resume.  The recruiter wrote me back about an hour later explaining the line rate and providing the link to take their test.  I wasn't too thrilled about the pay but went ahead and took the test.  It was the easiest test I've ever taken, comprised mostly of spelling and grammar with a few medical terms thrown in. 

While taking the test, I recall thinking that this is the stuff I learned within months of my first transcription job.  That was nearly 18 years ago.  Real easy-peasy stuff.  Yet when I submitted my test, I received an immediate response stating that I didn't meet the minimum requirements.  In essence, I had failed. 

I sat there stunned for a moment, thinking how in hell could I not have passed this elementary test.  As I read the response more, I noticed they suggested I take a transcription course to improve my skills.  They even provided a link to a specific "school."  Hmmmmm, I thought.  That's peculiar. 

Curious, I clicked the link, and wouldn't you know that the online "school" is part of the company itself.
