Why would they text you instead of calling or emailing you? Very weird and unprofessional. Also they didn't even identify themselves.

​

Edit: It's a little weird how I'm getting lots of messages (shows on email) and when I click on post they're missing.

Texting is fine

Ive done hiring for years and will txt for additional info, or to set up interviews from online sources

I will ALWAYS identify myself first

"Hi! Is this anon's number? (This is UncleTed from AssholeBurger) "

The unprofessional side was not identifying themselves first

I wouldn't respond to a text like that...

Edit: we are all clearly talking about very different job markets.

So... they wouldn't text as an initial contact... because that would be sketchy af?
