Description

I received a text message regarding a remote job: Good Day to you, my name is Catrina Harmon and I am reaching out to you from Winnebago Seed Fund in regards to a remote position we are currently looking to fill. The position we are currently looking to fill is a Remote Administrative Assistant Position with an hourly pay of $27.00 per hour and paid training. I was looking to see if we could set up a time for a brief meeting via Microsoft Teams for the position. It’s a great Company and position, offers room for growth within the Company, awesome benefits and you can have a permanent position which you can decide to resume as soon as tomorrow. I will need you to set-up a screen name on Microsoft Teams and add Mr Bret Woodson there for a brief meeting. It will not take longer than 40 minutes. You can follow the link below . Let’s chat on Microsoft Teams! This free app lets us collaborate and stay connected. Use this link to download the app and also join my chat: https://teams.live.com/l/invite/FEAqoNQcu7bEZ2b-ww I click the link and begin a two hour interview, that, although did not seem stranger first, was able to see that the professionalism had left the conversation, and that there were a lot of small grammatical errors, that if I was really being offered this position, would not be present. When I asked about the status of employment, they just told me to report to them at 8 AM. Which is when I felt uneasy by the time it was the end of the conversation.
