Description

This job was listed on LinkedIn for a research analyst. I applied. Sent my resume. Several days later I received an email telling me I was not among the most qualified, but I could purchase a weekly subscription that would help me with resumes, cover letters, and directly speaking with Hr reps of current job openings, and somehow this “consulting subscription service” is in no way related to the company the hr rep emailing me works for. LinkedIn ks a joke these days. This is the fourth job I’ve applied to that I found on LinkedIn that has been a scam. This is the copy and pasted email. Attached is a file of the exact job posting from the LinkedIn website. LinkedIn really should do better at vetting what jobs are allowed to be posted, because their website is such a waste of time honestly. It’s such a shame to apply to jobs, need a job, and constantly recieved scam emails in return, and then your email gets attached to the scammers fishing list, because you applied to that job post via LinkedIn.
