    Craigslist too. They said job interview but try to sell you a service during the interview. They were lucky I was not carrying.

    Companies should stop making these big employment announcements that they are hiring thousands of people when they are NOT. They announce major job openings for a media buzz feed effect.

    Linkedin long ago became 98% garbage. I can't imagine anyone paying for the service. I was one of the first 50k users back in the day when it was techs networking with other techs. Now I just laugh at it.

    The best way to get a job is through your connections. What a terrible thing to do. Our social security numbers were stolen in an IRS breach. Identity theft never ends. LinkedIn needs to vet the employers.

    Other clues are that they connect you with a job that is not in your normal area. I had a call just yesterday where they used some of my skills but the job was at Google. I'd never be hired by them. Beware, there is software out there that can change someone's voice. In one case I was set up for an interview with a big company in my area of expertise. I. called that company. to try and validate the interview but they would not help me and do so. On the meeting request was 4 people from India but no person from the company. I was too afraid to click on any links in the. message.
