Job Search RED FLAGS

This is it! FINALLY after 100s of applications, you have been seen! Not only that, but you have been shortlisted to the advanced level of the interview process! 🙌 OMG!!!!

👉 Directly to meet for 90 minutes with the CEO, COO, and CFO. They are already sending you PDFs of documents to download, and are sending you multiple messages to expedite the process, because they really want to hire you! 🤩

You are sooo caught up in the moment of FINALLY being seen, that it is easy to overlook the red flags…👇

🚩You are NEVER going to have an initial interview (before any screening) with the CEO, COO, and CFO. They aren’t wasting their time on screening candidates.

🚩This process is loooong. The intense rushing before you even had a first interview, seriously, think about it.

🚩The pressure to download PDFs. Suspicious PDF downloads can contain malware that steals your data, installs ransomware to lock your files, or tricks you into revealing sensitive information through phishing scams.

🚩The messages came from a Gmail account and not a corporate email.

🚩They charged you to make your resume ATS compliant (which I hope you didn’t fall for) before expediting you to meet with the CEO as their top candidate.

🚩The job isn’t posted on the company website.

🚩The recruiter messaging you has 0 LinkedIn connections and a profile that was established 2 weeks ago.

It feels good to be seen, wanted, appreciated…but PLEASE pay attention to warning signs! 💗
