If you’re applying for jobs either get a temporary secondary number through your service or use an app.

There’s a lot of legitimate looking jobs post that are actually just data farming. I have a brand new phone number that I rarely give out and ever since applying for jobs I’m getting a bunch of vague text about someone “passing along my application and this company being interested for a role” and calls from jobs I know I never applied for not to mention emails. I just got a text asking “R u working tonight” from a number I’ve never communicated with before which I’m almost sure is a scam.
