Probably I sound like a broken record. These scammers are really upping their game. I looked up this individual (who contacted me on Sunday after 12 via LinkedIn messaging). Yes she has a profile, and background is OK. However, she has the Open to Work badge. If you're looking for work, you are not hiring. I asked Gemini to find out more on her. She does not seem to exist. Shields up Scotty...

If something seems too good to be true, it usually is. No one is going to contact you with a dream job out of nowhere.

The point is, don't trust, but verify. HR reps are having their identities used by scammers to offer a job. This is about being lured; not about being offered a dream job. Good luck.

I never give out any information that isn't already on my resume.

They are evolving for sure! I’ve also heard that some make profiles that completely impersonate a real person at a company. Can never be too careful out here.

I've experienced what the person above said. I have had two scammers contact me going as far as pretending to be an actual named person from the company, so when I look them up it still looks legit. Scary times.

These days I assume everything is a scam.

Any googlers that can offer a perspective? Cleared all interviews for TPM. No HC review yet, as the recruiter says the new process is to find a match before HC. Had conversations with 3-4 teams so far, many times great feedback/compliments even during the team matching chat, but no successful match yet. I am told that there were internal candidates that fit the role better. The wait on since May, starting to lose hope now. Is team matching supposed to be this hard?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
