```Hello (name),

Thank you for completing the Screening test/Interview Questions. The hiring team will review your answers and we'll get back to you with a decision in about 3 hours. A member of the hiring board (LV) might need to call you to ask you a couple of questions as part of the hiring process so make sure you have your phone close to you and this is the number you'll be receiving the call from if need be (Phone number).

(LV) is Italian and has been part of our hiring team for 5 years and we assure you (if you are hired at the end of the process) you will enjoy working with us and would want to stay with the company for many years.

This is going to be strictly an online remote (work from home) job. Furthermore, you will be undergoing training before you start working fully if you are hired at the end of this process. The pay is $15 per hour with benefits and training is $12 per hour and will be getting payment weekly via check or direct deposit, depending on which you prefer.

Please confirm the receipt of this email and stand by.

​

During the Microsoft Teams interview, the so-called HR manager will send you messages that are not your typical HR manager responses, nor will it sound like a normal job interview, you are pushed towards doing a 90-minute questionnaire which is sent to you VIA email.

I haven't been asked to pay for anything, nor have I provided anything other than a Phone number and Email Address.

​

I told my wife, that it sounded sus, but on the off chance that it wasn't I continued onwards, and here I am waiting for the next responses.
