A new head-fake in the jobs world from BlueprintUSA

I am texted March 4 about a job and asked if I can do an initial interview the next day.

I say OK, trying to remember when and where I might have applied at Blueprint USA, and yes, you're getting named. Not LinkedIn; not in my recent applications. They're not on Indeed.

So, I never did actually apply to them. 

But they texted me again the next day about the Zoom. That's after saying in the March 4 text that they would email me information the next day.

Another red flag — I didn't get any such thing.

Then, the interview on March 5? Turns out to be a group marketing video to a dozen or whomever people have been roped in.

And, the job? "Event marketing."

OK, "danger Will Robinson" time. 

They then texted me about two hours after the interview, saying "we missed you" (I typed the Zoom link into my computer; I don't do smartphone apps in general and certainly not on an Android) and asked if I could do it on March 6. No way I'm being fooled.
