The interview process was easy. It was a brief phone call. Interviewer was personable. Description of the job and expectations was given. I was asked about my transcription experience and my understanding of the difference between a contractor and an employee.

The application is very long, and includes a lot of questions that don't relate to the job. For example, the question about the last five books you read. Sure, that's interesting stuff to know, but not at all necessary, and kind of a time waster. If they read get something out of it, they should wait and ask in the interview itself. The transcription test is fine, but it really could be about half the length to get the info they need. The interview itself is basically fine, but in mine, John Feldcamp did not make it clear what his position in the company was, which was strange for an interview, and as Babbletype isn't a large, well-known company, he can't expect the applicant to just know. He also said a few misleading things, like, for example, that the staff would, "really try to get to know" me. That's a direct quote, and turned out to not be true at all. It's not really necessary for staff at a company like to get to know people, so it's a strange this to mislead people about. He seems to try to present the company as a tight-knit group of people, but that's simply not the case. Why is this sort of presentation necessary, especially when it's so easily disproven? He also never actually made a job offer, which is strange, because most jobs do that, even if they know you will accept, just in the name of clear communication.
