fake news fake media fake interviews coming right up
hey guys Serg here back with another video today I've got something
surprising that I'd never heard of before and that is fake interviews and
the example that came across my attention was this person had written on
LinkedIn that they had they were being brought in for a company to you know
have an interview for a position and there was just rounds and rounds of
interviews and this was a pretty high up position chief revenue officer so they
were meeting with the CEO oh the CEO and some other like directors and stuff in
the organization and it was just interview after interview after
interview and how the person even knew that it was fake was there was an email
sent out and he was accidentally copied on the email and he figured out that it
was fake because of the way they were talking in the email and they were
pretty much just using him for his expertise so they were bringing him into
interview and asking him questions about the particular problems they were having
and they were hearing his ideas listening to his ideas and then had no
plans of even hiring him just wanted to take his free advice under the shell of
them recruiting him for a position when they had no interest in hiring him
whatsoever just wanted to steal his advice so this is something that's out
there in the universe this is something that's out there companies are sometimes
fraudulent with this but the way that they that they're gonna show it for our
intents and purses our intent and purposes in clinical research is gonna
be different than this for most people how they're gonna show that an interview
is fake or not necessarily even an interview but a job posting is fake is a
lot of times these companies will put out a job posting that they already have
someone filled for the positions already filled they're just putting it out there
for whatever reason the equal opportunity to make sure other people
have an equal opportunity to get a position but a lot of times they put a
position out there knowing good and well it already feel
by an internal candidate or filled by someone else but they have to put the
position out there anyway so sometimes you'll see these so-called fake job
postings out there in the in the world and every company does this and
sometimes it can work in your favor if you're that internal candidate who wants
the position so you won't even know that they're interviewing other people for it
sometimes they'll post it they may interview one or two people for it just
to check the box but they have no interest in actually hiring that person
so that's one way a fake interview could absolutely absolutely happen in clinical
research we've seen this a number of times especially with the high turnover
and you know the high I guess interest in a lot of these clinical research
positions a lot of times already filled before you before the applications even
put out there so that's another reason why not to get discouraged if you get
rejected a lot in clinical research I have to apply to over 200 jobs and
couldn't to get my first start in clinical research and got rejected for
most of them easily over 185 probably even more than that probably closer to
that 200 numbered to just get your foot in the door so that happens a lot of the
times but there's another reason why sorry my allergies are kind of annoying
me today but so that's one way that there will be fake interviews and
clinical research and that's pretty much the main way that there's gonna be fake
interviews and clinical research other than that if they're looking to bring
people in the vast majority of times those are going to be real real
interviews real job postings but I couldn't believe it because I couldn't
believe that people would actually take the time to do this and but it kind of
makes sense why someone would do that to cut cost because you'd have to bring him
in as a consultant pay him thousands of thousands of dollars to get the
information or you can essentially get it for free but then that is fraudulent
you can't do that under the sky other than under the disguise that you're
hiring someone for a job so look out there for these fake jobs and clinical
research and let me know if you see more of them like this
I don't think is gonna be so obvious because this is this is rare that you're
gonna see them like this in this article but the more common way you're gonna see
it is when they post a job posting but have no interest of actually hiring
somebody they already know who the candidates gonna be to fill the position
and they're gonna slide them in there that way so I just want to talk about
that this is something key for people to know just to have in the back of their
mind don't let it stop you from applying the positions but just to have in the
back of your mind as one reason why you may not get a particular position that
you applied for it's because it's already been filled and they just put it
out put the position out there to be equal opportunity and to seem like
they're you know hiring and doing everything they need to be doing they're
just checking the box a lot of the times so alright guys I want to share that
with you as always email us Ali clinical group at gmail.com for any resume review
services increase you may have or any kind of career coaching alright guys
take care
