I went out of my comfort zone & applied for a position other than my current role. I was surprised by the use of the Signal app to communicate and a formal interview never took place.

I received the job offer via email, but everything else was discussed via Signal. I start training on the 9th & they have provided a summary of my duties, but only through Signal.

Should I be concerned that they use Signal rather than the telephone or video calls? It seems too good to be true.

Can you help me find this app! I want to explore things outside my comfort zone but not willing to work outside my home!

Since I had applied for so many jobs (beginning June 2025 to now), when I received an email asking to schedule an interview, I thought it was too good to be true! What made me stop for a minute was a link to download the Signal app and send a message with my availability. I introduced myself and we have only been messaging, other than the offer email.

Hey. Can you provide an update? Is it worth it or legit?
