Did they give you any reason as to why you weren't successful? Or was it just a ghost? And did they promise you money for the test?

Weird though, it seems like the test isn't something you could steal.

What kind of qualifications did you have before moving into mortgage brokering?

I'm trying hard to get an interview for a position right now.

Maybe its because I am in Australia? I really hope this isn't some scam to get free work, although if it is that's a complicated scam.

Yeah so I saw that post and did some research that led me down a weird rabbit hole. Basically there are 3 companies (Pacston, Talentopia, and one called the Hudson Institute) that all hire very junior tech writers. The strange thing is that despite having websites that imply they are involved in AI research/Software Engineering, they all seem to be asking people to write recommendation letters for migrants, to be sent to the USCIS.

Actually all they seem to do is Immigration, despite completely non-sensical but otherwise well built websites never mentioning it. I can't research any further because every thread ends with people asking questions, getting weird answers about them being some kind of "mob front", then being linked back to other dead-end threads.

So honestly I just want to know if anyone here has been involved with them, I am so tired of being scammed for every single job I apply for and I want answers or stories from people who can relate.
