    Feeling Job Application Scam Planning Thinking #

    I received an interview offer for a position that seems a bit suspicious. The pay is $26/hr for a week of training, then jumps to $36/hr after that, with full-time hours and benefits. The interviews are being conducted over private messages, and they want to schedule them very soon—possibly today. I applied through Handshake, which is where this message originated. I'm feeling skeptical about the legitimacy of this offer. Some comments I read suggested it might be a scam, especially since interviews over private messaging seem unusual. I did find out that the company, dmdcommercialroofing.com, has been registered since 2017, which adds some credibility, but I'm still wary. I think I might call their publicly available phone number to verify the offer before proceeding.

    Miscellaneous Planning Thinking

    Today, I focused on improving my job search strategy by exploring the art of cold calling and emailing companies directly. I’m 26 and recently graduated with a BSBA in Management Information Systems, but I lack direct experience in business technology. However, I have several years of leadership and management experience in the hospitality sector. A recruiting agent suggested that my technical skills combined with my leadership background could make me a good fit for roles like Business Analyst or Project Manager, but I’m also considering positions like IT Analyst and others in the tech field. I’m open to various work arrangements, whether on-site in my city, hybrid, or fully remote. I’m unsure how to effectively reach out to companies about potential openings and how to present my experience as valuable, given that it’s from a different industry. I’m looking for tips on how to make these cold contacts and showcase my transferable skills.
