Topic: any similar experiencies with a selection process?
Poster: Mercedes Fatas
Hi there,
Anyone going through the "selection" process to work for an Entertainment company? I responded to a generic job looking for for subtitling translators/proofreaders posted in another directory, but something tells me that it may not be a good idea to go on. Shortly after sending my cv, they replied and sent me an application form including technical questions about my computer capabilities and info on my experience in subtitling. I have none and so I responded. But even so, I have now been asked to set a date and exact time for them to send me a 4-hour profiency test to be completed at the exact date and time you say. They also ask to accept their rates, which as far as I know, are quite low.
Does it ring a bell?? Any one has gone through this? Any feedback would be most welcome as I need to decide whether to go through the proficiency test or not.
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice day!
