I got a message on LinkedIn about a job, it seems legit. The issue is as soon as I replied, she basically told me to apply as quickly as possible because it’s time sensitive.
I don’t know why this kind of rubs me the wrong way, I guess because I’m in a different time zone and I’m expected to literally drop everything for a job I might not even have an actual chance for.
Also she is the person who I would be working with, my potential future boss, and also the co owner of the company.
Am I overreacting? It just seems unnecessarily stressful idk. Also I’m very afraid of red flags now cause I ignored them at my last company and it was a nightmare.
You must log in or register to comment.
My golden rule is: if it’s urgent on the internet, it’s probably a scam. Instilling a sense of urgency in people is one of the most common scamming methods.
If you follow through, watch out for other red flags, like you having to pay something for your application to be processed.
And of course, even if it’s legit, if it rubs you the wrong way, listen to your gut feelings. It’s very likely that you don’t want to work for them.
