Recently got an in mail message from a recruiter at Sony. It seemed legit checked out the link that was sent and even did my own research on it, seemed to check out as legit. In the back of my mind I always feel like it’s a scam should I pursue ?

If you’ve done research (email checker, phone look up, address verification, review their LinkedIn profile and engagement) and still don’t see any red flags, I’d say yes, it’s fine.

I’ve had three scam situations, all through LinkedIn over the past few weeks. Flag #1, the “recruiter” is asking to communicate through email only or some chat app. Flag #2, the email url is not the same as the web URL. Flag #3, receiving a very general email without specifics and to contact another email address.

LinkedIn’s default reporting isn’t great so clearly there are some nefarious folks lurking on LI.

Stay diligent my friends!

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

What do hiring managers want to hear when they ask "What's your process?" because I don't think I have one.

And when I explain something from Lean UX or something then apparently that's too cookie cutter.

I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
