I have an interview with AO but nervous it is a scam and I will get screwed. Help and insight before I potentially make a dumb decision. Is this legit?

What has you concerned that it is a scam?

Biggest red flags to look for are:
- interviews only taking place via text or email, never in-person or virtually with a real human
- an immediate offer of employment following an interview
- planning to send you a check for "equipment" and then you get to keep the rest
- asking you to submit confidential confirmation (social security number, address, date of birth, etc.) prior to an offer
- companies will ask you for the information above to complete a background check and stuff but it should be through a secure portal and most often is through a third party vendor (ADP and First Advantage come to mind).

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
