I applied for a casual role — super low stress and responsibility — for some play money, thinking they’d have a look at my resume and call me in for an interview if my experience fit the bill.
What I got back was a link to a form which asked, amongst other things, my bank details, tax file number, and for copies of identifying documentation. Bear in mind, I’m at a point in this process where I’m not even sure I want the job, as I’d need to know the rate of pay and expected schedule before I committed to anything.
Looking back at the email I received, there was a link to withdraw my application, which I clicked. Recruiter called me within thirty minutes.
I explained that we simply weren’t at a point in the process where I’m happy to give out the information they were asking for — which they were understanding of — and expressed that recruitment is a two-way street. I need to interview a potential employer just as much as they need to interview me.
Anyway, interview is tomorrow. Don’t fill shit out if it makes you uncomfortable. They need you more than you need them.
