Did I tell you I’m jobhunting, don’t you … ?
I’m jobhunting.
So you know.
And like ANY of us that’s on the hunt for a post, we can be vulnerable to all sorts of things.
Unexpected shortages of money, for one thing.
Attacks of melancholia.
Or ‘The blues’, if you’d like me to be less poncey … !
And most recently … ?
Good ol’ fashioned scams.
We get warned about these things: of course we do.
Speaking personally, I’d always taken note of warnings I’d had: and made a mental note to be VERY careful if I ever cam across something iffy.
THAT happened, this morning: a call from a very nice Indian woman, supposedly from TotalJobs Recruitment — if I heard her correctly — who had seen my CV online. Who wanted to know what sort of work I was after.
And who THEN told me she had just the thing for me … and that I’d need to phone them, to do the interview …
Which is what got me thinking the call was odd.
Usually … ? Usually, if someone want’s to do a phone interview with me … They’d be phoning me, to tell me they wanted to interview me … and ask when the best time to phone me to do the thing would be.
I told the young lady I’d know credit on my phone: and wouldn’t for a week, at least. And could see email me her number? I’d be able to contact her, as and when, she had.
That was at 9•24, this morning, going by my mobile’s log. They’ve not been in touch, since.
Personally … ? I think I’ve managed to avoid a premium rate rat.
(JUST as a last word … ? The University of Manchester have written up a very good ‘How To’, if you get what you think is a dodgy offer:
here … )
