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.
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.
