🚨 Scam or “creative recruiting”?

Got texts from “Nellie” (Glassdoor CA) and “Anna” offering a part-time/internal job at Megaphone TV. I politely asked for a company email, website and job link to verify but her response to me was “Do you think contacting you this way isn't formal enough?”…😬

Has anyone else been hit up by these “recruiters”? I can drop their numbers if you want. Stay alert, folks!

Might be worth asking why any recruiter in an employers market would need to be ‘creative’ with their efforts

I get these texts every morning

same, def scammers. block and report as junk every time. 🙅‍♂️

Do I just make something else up entirely?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
