I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at TELUS Digital (Sofia, ) in Jun 2022
Interview
The interviewer knew that I had applied for a position as a transcriber, as well as two other language-based jobs (I am a linguist and speak five languages either fluently or on a native level). For some reason he insisted that the job for which I was being considered was "sale". He demurred when I asked him what this position entailed, said that I could wait over the weekend and then have an interview with two of his colleagues( during which I would be have to pass a conversational language test). I have no experience in sales, nor do I have the desire to work in sales.
The interviewer also insisted that if I were to be hired for the position, I had to be in Bulgaria by June 19th - just over a week to change countries. Obviously the tickets were expensive, last minute and in June, but I was told I would only be reimbursed 250 Euros out of a ticket that would cost at the very least $1200 and climbing every day.

Question 1
Would I be willing to relocate to Sofia, Bulgaria by June 19th (I live in the USA, and this request was made of me on June 10th).
The interview is decent.
The only thing that is shocking is the offered payment. It is 4 USD per hour. I struggle to find words... Except this is not normal.

Question 1
It was a language test.
The other questions were the standard for a start level position in this company.
