Sorry for my Portuguese, I'm a foreigner. The interview was pretty basic with few specific questions. The interview was recorded. The job is remote, and the company is US-based, so compensation is in USD. They pay very little, though; even converted to BRL, it's only about 4.5k, which is still very low for the workload. I applied for the Client Happiness Coordinator role, but they thought my profile was a better fit for the Executive Assistant position, so they called me for an interview. The Exec Asst. role was for a law firm, a sector I had no experience in. Everything on my CV pointed towards Client Happiness Coordinator expertise. Anyway, I did the interview and they sent my profile to their client, who clearly rejected it. So, everything was quite strange. But the job is legitimate.

I applied for this role, and had to complete some forms, attach my CV, and write a 300-500 word essay. It seemed like everything was going well. Then they contacted me and said they had an interview slot available that very same day, which felt a bit rushed. The interviewer had trouble with pronunciation, and many questions were hard to understand, even for me as a bilingual person. When I asked her to repeat a question, she rolled her eyes. After she did it a second time, I almost left the interview but decided to finish it anyway. The interview itself wasn't too difficult, but the whole experience felt a bit off. The salary offered was low, and they didn't share much about the clients or the specific duties of the role.
