I got a message on LinkedIn about a job, it seems legit. The issue is as soon as I replied, she basically told me to apply as quickly as possible because it’s time sensitive.
I don’t know why this kind of rubs me the wrong way, I guess because I’m in a different time zone and I’m expected to literally drop everything for a job I might not even have an actual chance for.
Also she is the person who I would be working with, my potential future boss, and also the co owner of the company.
Am I overreacting? It just seems unnecessarily stressful idk. Also I’m very afraid of red flags now cause I ignored them at my last company and it was a nightmare.
Time pressure doesn’t mean a scam, but remember the job application process is a chance for you to assess them as well. Some people think everything is a time critical emergency and they really aren’t worth working for.
If you are talking to them directly and they divert you to some application portal. I don’t know, doesn’t seem like it’s that much of a problem. If they need you now, but can’t cut through the red tape of a company you own?
