I received a call (from a "Susan" who left a message saying she had been trying to reach me to move forward with an interview), but a search through my missed calls shows that I didn't have any missed or unanswered calls or voicemails from that name or number. Simultaneously, I received an email mentioning that it was a pleasure to connect on the phone, including an attached job description for a DOGE, Project Coordinator - Remote, $130k a year position. A separate email from her was a Zoom call invite, which worked, as I spoke to a person for about 10-15 minutes. At the end of the call, she asked if I had the mandatory USA HRDC Council Authorized "Certified JIRA Practitioner for Agile Frameworks" certificate. I don't, because it is a fake cert. If you look up this mandatory cert you will see it's from a non-accredited, fake website that will try to scam you out of $290. Here is the email I received as an example of the verbiage they used. || Dear Tamara, I trust this email finds you well. It was a pleasure connecting with you over the phone, and I appreciate your confirmation of the interview schedule. I genuinely believe that your skills and experience align perfectly with what we are looking for, and I am optimistic about your success in the upcoming recruitment process. Your potential contribution to our team is highly anticipated. To assist you in your preparation, I have attached the job description (JD) to this email. Please take a moment to review it, and feel free to reach out if you have any queries or require further clarification. I look forward to our upcoming interview and am confident that it will be a valuable opportunity for us to discuss your qualifications and how they align with the needs of our team. Thank you once again for your time and commitment to the interview process. If there are any changes or additional information needed, please don't hesitate to let me know. Best Regards, Susan USA IT Staffing
