Though I’m not actively looking for work at the moment, I still have resumes out there. So, recruiters find me and send me opportunities. This is one I got from ZipRecruiter this morning. (There was an employer name where it’s blank, which I opted to redact)
I get many of these sorts of emails every month and I find them puzzling. Ultimately, there’s pretty much NO information here. I had to Google the company, as I had never heard of them. As they’re a staffing agency, I have no idea who the company that I’d be working for is, or if they’re even in Marysville. No salary, no job description (yeah, I could click on the link, but, um, no). If I was looking for work, or, in other words, unemployed, it might be interesting enough to run the risk of a recruitment scam.
Anyway, it’s a first-world problem and I shouldn’t complain. Recruiters ARE reaching out to me, so that’s something.
Yeah there’s a fair amount of spam I get on my phone too as SMS masquerading as job opportunities but clearly bogus. And hopefully more real stuff circulating too, as I’ve experienced and hopefully you are too Carl.
Bill, I’m noticing a solid uptick in legitimate opportunities, too. It’ll be interesting, at least locally, to see how Boeing’s furloughs and Amazon’s Return To Office push impact things. I’ve seen a bunch of people in both orgs saying they’re looking for work.
