Is text based interviews a thing or is it a scam?

    That sounds super sketchy. I don't know how you can get a job without speaking with the person. Do you have communications with them in any other way other than text? Did they send any email from a company domain? Is the number you are communicating with listed as a company number? Is the person you are communicating with visible on LinkedIn? Can you see that they are authorized as being part of the company? Just some of my thoughts regarding this.

    I never respond to text messages from anyone claiming to be from a recruiting firm. If you believe it is a legitimate company you should call the company directly and ask if they are hiring.

Have you ever seriously thought about moving to a different country? Sometimes I catch myself thinking maybe I'd be better off somewhere else. A fresh start. Different opportunities. Different environment. Then other days I wonder if that's just me romanticizing the idea and thinking the grass is greener on the other side . I honestly don't know.

What’s the worst thing about being unemployed for you? For me, it’s the uncertainty of the future. I thrive with a schedule and I don’t have that without somewhere to go every day. That and not having a ready-made excuse to say “no” to social invitations. lol

I have officially given up on looking for a job. This world is backwards and the job market is crap. I just gave it all to God. I am going to go to the gym this afternoon and then eat tacos.

Best ways to fight ageism? I’m currently debating if I should remove my graduation years from my resume because I’m starting to suspect I’m facing some subtle ageism. I have twenty years of incredible experience, but I’m worried that seeing a graduation date from the early 2000s makes recruiters think I’m too expensive or stuck in my ways before they even look at my achievements.

At what point would you quit a job without another one lined up? I’ve only been at this one for 6 months. I was unemployed after a layoff for 7 months right before. But this current workplace is toxic and retaliatory.
