See I was going to mention that but thought maybe it sounded egotistical. It's weird that she is telling me what to do/commanding me before she is even my boss.

Idk if I have a problem with authority or something, or it's just a red flag. I can honestly say I don't know if I've ever had a boss that wasn't at least a little bit sociopathic. The best one I've had basically just hid in his corner and let some nice lady supervise me.

Tbh it's weird cause last time I applied to a job like this they seemed super interested and I had the right experience but then they just ghosted me lol

I haven't applied to anything in over a year

Well based on the job description it doesn't sound this way, but who knows what'll happen

[–] Djfok43@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I just asked about what time zone the hours are in.. she just asked if it's a "full time job" and I also asked if I can apply within a few hours if that's ok.. she can say it's not and I'll try to do it quicker but idk how long it would take me to format my resume

Anyway guess she dgaf

She is the co owner of the company it's like a startup type thing where they find people virtual admin assistants

I've decided not to apply unless they respond at my basic communication attempt. I don't want to work for someone that gets me excited about an opportunity and then doesn't even bother following through at all.

I've decided I won't apply unless she responds to my basic attempt at communication. I don't want to work for a boss like this.

I men she'll probably get back to me and be like "the client said the most they can do is 18 an hour"

Anyway she hasn't even responded to my attempt at basic communication so I won't be applying cause I don't want to work for someone like that

She said the pay is stated by me, and then she discusses it with the client to see how much they're willing to pay basically

I'm just worried cause I responded quickly, also has some basic quick questions, and it's been almost an hour and I haven't heard back from her. So I'm wondering if she just doesn't want to deal with me anymore. And it's furthering my red flag detector tbh

[–] Djfok43@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

She hasn't asked for anything suspicious yet, I'm more so worried it's a toxic company and they won't treat me well :/

 

I got a message on LinkedIn about a job, it seems legit. The issue is as soon as I replied, she basically told me to apply as quickly as possible because it's time sensitive.

I don't know why this kind of rubs me the wrong way, I guess because I'm in a different time zone and I'm expected to literally drop everything for a job I might not even have an actual chance for.

Also she is the person who I would be working with, my potential future boss, and also the co owner of the company.

Am I overreacting? It just seems unnecessarily stressful idk. Also I'm very afraid of red flags now cause I ignored them at my last company and it was a nightmare.

Edit: I responded and asked some basic questions about the timezone/hours, and if applying in the next few hours would be ok, and she hasn't responded in over an hour. Now I'm wondering if I should even bother applying :/
