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.
Idk what application process you’ve done or your definition of pii. all applications seem to request pii like email, address, name, bday, etc in my experience. Individually they may not be pii, but any combo and theyre definitely pii.
Yes I should’ve clarified “confidential” PII. It’s just the initial job application, so all they need at this point is OP’s name, general location, and contact info; which they already have from linkedin alone. OP can send in their resume/CV, and that’s it. No need to give your exact address, birthday, etc. until you’re well into the hiring process already. Not in this initial phase.
