Hi! I'm entering the work force after being a stay at home mom for the last 13 years. The application and hiring process has changed so much. I've uploaded my resume to several job search sites and am beginning to get emails from interested companies. How do I filter through them to find legitimate potential opportunities? Some seem scammy.

For example, is it normal for businesses to text potential hires?

It's not particularly normal, though sometimes a recruiter may directly email or call you if you have those listed on a resume that you've publicly posted on a job board. Typically, you don't want to share your full address and phone until you've been able to connect via email and verified the recruiters credentials. That said, i received texts in the past for life insurance sales opportunities and other things via text from recruiters that while not a scam per se, are definitely unwanted.

Set up performance meetings even monthly because it’s hard to get a gauge on your performance
