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.

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.
