问HN:我收到了一个虚假的工作邀请,这是什么原因呢?
不久前,我通过LinkedIn收到了一个工作邀请。这个邀请没有让我对假工作机会产生通常的警觉——个人资料可信,有一些帖子,且公司使用的是德国域名。在我看来,这似乎是个正经的机会,尽管广告的薪资相对较高。
无论如何,我还是把我的简历发了过去,觉得这样做不会有什么坏处,结果收到了初步面谈的邀请。
第一件奇怪的事是:可选的时间段太多,而且都在很远的未来。比如,约定在两周后,但从早上9点到晚上11点都有空位。我选了一个时间。到了那天,我错过了面谈,几周后又收到了另一个邀请。在会议开始前一小时,我收到消息说那个人正在度假,会议推迟了两周,改到一个我不方便的时间。又推迟了一周。在会议开始前几分钟,又推迟了一周。我只是通过LinkedIn给那个人发了消息,从来没有人给我打过电话。这很奇怪,似乎不太真实——但为什么呢?这有什么目的?这到底是为了什么?我应该担心吗?
(附注:我现在有一份我非常满意的工作,所以一切都很好。我只是好奇……)

Some time ago, I got a job offer via linkedin. It didn't trigger the usual red flags that I get from fake job offers - credible profile, some posts, a company with a German domain. It seemed legit to me, if it wasn't for the rather high advertised salary.<p>Anyway, I sent over my CV figuring it couldn't hurt, and got an invitation for an initial talk.<p>First weird thing: too many available slots, too far away. Like, two weeks in the future, but from 9:00-23:00 all free slots. So I picked one. Day comes and I miss it, and I get another one a few weeks later. One hour before the meeting, I get a message that the guy is on holiday, moved by another two weeks, to a time that is not convenient for me. Moved by another week. Few minutes before the meeting, moved by another week. I've only texted a guy on linkedin. Nobody ever phoned me. Weird. Seems fake - but why, what's the goal here, what was this good for? Should I be worried?<p>(PS I have job now, that I'm really happy with, so all good. I'm just curious...)
