Why Was I Contacted By This Number?

Written on February 3, 2011 at 10:31 pm, by phoneinfo

Why did I get a text message from this number?

You were contacted from this number because you’re looking for work. When you signed up for the services of a job board you indicated that you were willing to receive information about potential employment by text message. This is simply a fulfillment of that permission.

Which job board did I sign up with to grant this permission?

We are a service provider that works with several different job boards and companies. When you agreed to receive text messages, and you asked to be contacted for employment opportunities, it was not specific to that job board. So it’s possible that the job you are being contacted about via the text does not originate from the job board on which you granted the permission. This was explained in the Privacy Policy you agreed to by using the website with which you registered.

If I already registered for a job board, why do I need to enter my information again?

he job alert included in the text may originate from a different job board than which you originally registered. Depending on the Privacy Policy of each site, not all of your information is shared and the company listing the job may only have your name, phone number, and career field. This is done for your protection. So to apply for the position you will be asked to fill out the additional information required for the application.

You have my information, but you’re asking me to verify it. Why?

Alternately, your information may have been shared per the site’s privacy policy, but we need to verify that it is still current and correct. It is possible that it has changed since you originally registered, and we want to provide employers with the most up-to-date contact information. This ensures an easier recruitment process for employers, and a better chance for you to get the job.

Is this text message a job offer?

No, this text does not imply that the job is anyway guaranteed for you. All that it indicates is that a job matching your career field as indicated by your job board profile is available for your review. You can read the details and decide if it’s an opportunity that you wish to explore, and apply for the position.

Does this text guarantee me an interview?

Unfortunately, no. This text was sent to you simply to alert you about an opportunity listed on a job board. The employer still reserves the right to review your application and decide if you are a viable candidate for the position. It is solely up to the employer’s discretion whether or not you will receive any correspondence about the position, up to and including even acknowledging receipt of your resume or application.

I’ve changed my mind and don’t wish to receive texts anymore.

If you no longer wish to receive texts from our service, please follow the STOP instructions included with every text message. We will abide by your wishes as required by law.
