So, there was this:
Hi David,
Thank you for submitting your application to Rev! We are looking forward to
reviewing your materials and learning more about you.
We review applications in the order they are received. Occasionally we
receive many applications at once, which can delay processing. Most likely you
will hear back from us within one to two weeks. In particularly high volume
times, it can take as long as three weeks to get through all of the
applications.
We appreciate your patience as we work diligently to make sure each
application gets a thorough review from our team. Please do not call regarding
the status of your application as this will not help speed things up or improve
your candidacy.
Regards,
The Rev Recruiting Team
So that was nice. Sounds friendly, and even hopeful, don't you think?
And then this today:
Dear David Smith,
Thank you for applying for the transcriptionist position with Rev. We have
rigorous minimum standards and unfortunately your application did not meet
those.
Please do not contact Rev regarding this decision, as we are unable to
further elaborate on our reasons.
Again, thank you for your interest in working with Rev. You may re-apply in
six months.
Regards,
Rev Recruiting
Oh, well. Doesn't tell me much other than no. And apparently they weren't looking forward to learning more about me.
By the way, when you try to take their test using their web-based transcription software, go into it knowing it sucks quite thoroughly, and prevents you from doing one thing that is required by their testing. Don't know what the point of that is, exactly. But they apparently chose the mechanism, so one would assume they got the results they chose to get.
Thanks, guys, for having your computer consider me.
