An answer from CareerBuilder...

Here is the minimally redacted response I got from CareerBuilder. Sorry but it seems that these dipshits have drank the kool-aid too.

So as you can see this is more or less a BS answer. I am thoroughly unimpressed and remain underwhelmed at the state of the world in general. For the record, any sort of "job" that you have to pay up front to get into is a scam. "Testicles, that is all," would have been about as informative and useful. Whatever. So now on to other, better issues.
