I had a missed call on my phone so I called back. A lady picked up the phone in a pretty bad mood and said “Hello” (Yellow flag - professionals would answer the phone with the company name and their name). When I explained the situation she was a bit friendlier and said that she was from ‘American Income’ I said that i had never heard about that company and thought that I was talking to some sort of insurance company that wanted to sell me something - I guess I was not too far off. But then she mentioned that it was regarding a job and that they had found my resume on ‘careerbuilder’ (orange flag). I was a bit surprised as I hadn’t heard of careerbuilder before and therefore I had also never used their website, service or had an account there. But I thought that maybe careerbuilder might pull resumes from other platforms or the lady meant a different platform. So I said okay and she asked me to spell out my name while verifying my number, which was also stranger as in-house recruiters would usually remember the people they call as they search for specific skills and really narrow down their candidates. So she asked me if I was still looking for a full time position and then told me very quickly that she was looking for an ‘Account Manager’ and that they work with unions together to set up benefits and that they would train me as a ‘Benefit Coordinator’. Her job description didn’t make any sense to me and I was surprised that i showed up in her database for it as I have no HR, benefits nor Insurance background (1.Red flag). So I kindly asked her to send me the job description. She then rapidly replied that she didn’t have a job description. Seriously?! (2. Red flag) because they were in immediate need to fill that position. So I asked her again to explain the position for me. It was still unclear but it started to sound more like an insurance sale position. So I asked her what my responsibilities would be and she basically just repeated her ‘script’ and ask me if I could come in the next morning to the interview and she would send me over the address (3. BIG Red flag). She did not name an interviewer name or ever mentioned a corporation. It seemed like I was supposed to meet the interviewer at a private location. As I am employed I was not available at that time and asked her if she could set up an interview for a different date or time. She suggested the same time on the following day and said that that they only do interviews at that time and that they don’t do phone interviews (4. Big red flag) why would you only interview at a certain hour and that everyday? Then the lady got an attitude and asked me how we should schedule something if I’m working at that time. Ehm... usually there is a mutual flexibility between recruiters and potential employees. I even offered to see if I could clear my schedule. So I told her I would call her back so we could schedule something. She then mentioned her name (only first name) for the first time and hung up. As everything seemed a little bit fishy I looked the company up and found terrible reviews online. Needles to say that I will not call them back. It seems like they are trying to give people only a very vague job description and putting pressure on them to get them in. I can see how people in desperate need of a job would go to the interview. I would recommend to always listen to your gut feelings and make use your common sense. If things don’t add up - question it.

Very easy through zoom. Went smooth had a company webinar went twenty minutes. Met with the people they were nice and very thorough training went well they explain easily and I learned very quick
