Many of us were laid off during the "Tech Layoff" frenzy our companies have decided to fall prey to. What is interesting is that LinkedIn has an openwork frame you can add to your profile photo. Although it is a good idea to let those hiring know you are open to work. What is NOT good, company recruiters who "represent" companies that are hiring tend to send out catching descriptions of w2 positions, get you to send them your resume, and claim they will send it to a "hiring manager". During follow-ups they claim they are waiting to speak with the hiring manager for you to get an interview or seconds after replying to the in-mail message, the position has already been filled. What's frustrating is it adds anxiety to people who have lost their jobs. We are not looking for people to lead us astray during these challenging times and are looking to be hired and paid what we are worth. These scams do not meet the requirements on LinkedIn to be considered scams. Only our time is wasted, and stress levels are high. These in-mail teases are to blame.
