TEST MATERIALS: [login to view URL] UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do we hire non-native English speakers or outsource to foreign countries. You must be a U.S. resident with English as your native language. We do not hire Americans based in foreign countries due to the time difference. I cannot ask if you can work when you are sleeping and I need a relatively quick response, and the time difference does not work well for our same-day and overnight work meeting U.S. client turnarounds. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do we allow typists to use speech-to-text software because of its known failures to accurately capture the complexities and nuances of speech or punctuate appropriately. Thank you, and good luck.
