Hasbro The HR department emailed me to set up a time for an interview. They said they found me on Indeed. When I said I was interested, they responded by asking for my availability and wanting to do a Skype text-based interview. I've never done one of these before or heard of this. Has anyone who has been through the interview process had to do the initial interview through text?

I'd be cautious about that. There are a lot of scams out there lately, and text interviews seem to be a trademark tell. I know this sounds cynical, but some of these text interviews are lead-ups to the Fake Check Scam. Google that phrase if you're not familiar with it. Anyway, it could be totally legit, and I hope it is, but be wary if anything seems strange.

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 scam. This is why I won’t put my resume on indeed.
