My co-worker keeps throwing eels
This was a bit nutty. Looking for a job, I turned on LinkedIn’s little “#OpenToWork” banner on my photo. And a flood of nonsense messages started coming in. At points I was fielding 4 dialogs at once.
(One odd new behavior, is that several of them wrote 2-3 notes, immediately deleted them, then started in with the standard pitch. You’ll see I decided to start the same way, for one of them.)
I’m also learning that scammers will take over someone’s LinkedIn account, and then (sometimes) pretend that they are a recruiter. Even when the profile plainly says they are a pharmacist.
The discussion got dull for a bit, but then LO!, Amanda reclaimed her account from the scammers!
Yay for Amanda! (And she said it was okay to include this dialog here anyway.)
