Somehow, I’m listed as a case manager, I am not, I am a postpartum, Tele, or step down ICU nurse

@lstasa It sounds like there was a mix-up in how your role was listed, which can definitely be frustrating. I can imagine that being miscategorized as a case manager instead of reflecting your true experience as a postpartum, Tele, or step-down ICU nurse might have caused some confusion during your job search. It’s a good reminder to always double-check how your job titles and roles are presented, whether on your resume or in job portals. What lesson did you take away from this situation, and how did you correct it to ensure your qualifications were accurately represented?

I am too gullible and have been scammed too many times by people saying they are hiring for a company. I spent three hours in one day interviewing with a person representing an actual company only to be scammed. The person even offered me the position and I agreed to accept. I even left notice the following morning with my current employer only to find later in the day that I was scammed. I will never do an online interview via Teams or any other app again.

My mistake was to trust the questions, forms and all the informatic stuff.
They ask you umpteen times the same question because either the system is stupid or the person that reads my information is stupid. Sorry.
Sincerely,

Harti

I can’t answer your question. There were too many unknown words. I also would like to send you a photo of mines.
Sincerely,

@kathy12 Wow! I am so sorry to hear about your experience being scammed. I also really appreciate you sharing that personal and painful story. There are so many scams and you are the second person I have heard from recently with a similar experience. I wonder if anyone out there has any ways of vetting these interviewers to avoid being scammed? Again, hope everything worked out for you.

@harti2103 You sound very frustrated and yes, sometimes there is a lot of repetition or also unfamiliar words. I am not sure what it is you would like to send a picture of?

One mistake is to leave your current job while you don’t have another option. This is a big mistake.
