Any employer that frickin' texts me to set up an interview won't get an interview. I doubt that happens though lol

I’d rather they text me than call me, but you’d think they’d explain who they are when reaching out for the first time.

Yeah, there was one time a recruiter just texted me "Is this xxxx ?". If you're gonna cold call/text, introduce yourself immediately on your first message.

I read it as they originally called, then person replies “who diiiiiis” via text as they didn’t answer the call.

It’s fake af anyway so I don’t know why I bothered even responding with some reasoning

It's fake but fun to think about the what if. I sent some awkward ass pictures accidentally

It happens a lot by sketchy companies.

I mean, it's fine if I missed their mail or whatever, but it sure would be unusual. Better than calling tho. I hate it when they do that.

BUH. "Potential interview". Bullet dodged.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The potential means that before he sent the image and the who dis, the interview was gonna happen.

The potential is now gone.

An interview for what? Becoming a side dish at your holiday buffet? Another worker to be gobbled up by the corporate flesh eating and soul destroying machinery of capitalism? Look at me being a Marxist all of a sudden....
