Your public key?
That was not what was asked for.

Re: Your public key?
To begin taking the tests, please send your public SSH key to job-ap382@telerama.com along with your email contact information.
Hey, I follow directions.

You probably sent your GPG key, right?
Not the same thing.

(bangs head onto bed spikes)
/home/drossl/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Want to see what's in it?
I'm assuming they want to pop up a login terminal on *my* system.

Re: Patience, grasshopper.
I have sshd running but firewalled. Are they in fact trying to pop up a login terminal without further notice?

I got the impression
I got the impression that they will have people take the tests via a ssh session hosted by them and want your public key so they'll know it's really you logging in and taking the test.

That isn't how ssh works
With the ssh public key, people can prove that you're you. That's all. They can use it to give you (and only you) a remote login on their system. To pretend to be you, someone needs your private key. Which is why it is private.
The fact that they are smart enough to not ask for passwords indicates that they have some brains already.
