Has anyone gotten a text from this number?  I did....

I got one too.

Who's texting me? Why should I call back? What's it for?

This number is a part of Careers Inc, which is a verification service
for employers for hundreds of different job boards. I'm a
representative of Careers and would like to clarify why you're getting
a text from us on this number.

We receive a large quantity of resumes for thousands of positions
across the country, and our job is to verify that your contact
information is correct. Employers use Careers because they get such a
massive response to job postings. It's very hard for any company to
sort through interested applicants - people are not reachable, their
phone numbers are disconnected, or their email is invalid or typo'd on
their resume. This leads to frustration on both ends, where applicants
receive no response and employers get bad contact info for an
otherwise qualified individual.

Careers attempts to contact applicants to confirm that their
information is correct - if it is not, then we help them to correct it
and update the employer on the applicant's status.

We do not ask for any sensitive information such as SSN. We do not
charge for our service. We will never ask you for anything beyond
confirming what's already in your resume on file.

I just recieved a text message from this number as well.  If the representitive from Careers who replied here is correct, then they are going about their job in a strange way.  Why not email people instead of text messaging?  Why not identify yourselves or identify which company we have applied for.  For example, I recieved one about a "help desk" job I applied for.  I haven't actually applied for a position called "help desk", but I have applied for a few that are similar.  I think Career Inc. is a scam and part of the bigger Career Network Inc. based in Florida, that has a long list of complaints.  So, sorry Mr. Representative from Career, we don't buy your BS.

Call who back? What questions?

Hi!  I received a text from this number the other day, but I haven't called them back yet.

This is Career Network

Who are these guys?  Got a text from them the other day.  Haven't called back yet.
