wierd/scary craigslist job

[Nierdo]

I came across a RN job on craigslist one day and sent my tweeked generic coverletter + resume as usual. The ad didn't say anything about new grads, experience or the company. didn't think much of it just another job ad. Few weeks later I get an email telling me i got passed the HR and now im scheduled for an interview..

Here's where the weird begins..

the email doesn't say the company name or give me a contact phone number.. OK...The address goes to a suite BUT the company isn't listed... I can't google ANYTHING about this address or suite# AND the email domain is a generic gmail...

OK WEIRD but ill go to the interview...

found the place ok, nice area, suite is listed as a PRIVATE COMPANY... no name?! really hmmm... went inside and saw legit looking employees and 1 pt walked in...was lead to a employee lounge to wait my turn... theres nothing in here, went to the managers "office" and theres no furniture just 2 chairs and bedside table... interviewed for 5 min and got a 2nd interview...

2nd interview email has the same wierdness new address BUT OK ill go. I enter the suite... and there are NO employees in sight just 2 interviewees... so i peak my head behind the reception desk to try to find ANYTHING with a company name on it... NOTHING. theres no patients at this facility... doesn't even look like its been used/brand new. NO PAPERWORK NOTHING. this suite is also listed as PRIVATE... interview was 5 min... told i got a 3rd interview but haven't heard from them since... the manager's email doesn't work... and the generic gmail emailer doesn't respond...

WHAT SCARED ME THE MOST was not that i couldn't find a company name but that they asked for training over 500 miles away near the border... man i watch too many movies but HEY i might've got traffic-ed!! I wonder what happened to the other new grads? This company COULD BE LEGIT just starting or something but i dunno.

SCARY!!!

UPDATE!! IM ALIVE!

turns out the company is under scrutiny by the law. im talking company name changes, malpractice, and pt. deaths.... multiple times.

NO WONDER they would not openly share this information during the interviews.

Question. I know its not unheard of for hospitals to have these issues arrise but how about for smaller practices? Would you trust them if they're actively seeking new management, additional training + certification and whatnot? They deserve a chance to better themselves?

Did you give them your resume?

Did you fill out an application?

How much information do they have about you?

If it is that frightening, notify the local police or the state attorney general office, FBI and /or dept. of community health.

If they want to be legit then they need to act like it! If this ever comes up again PLEASE DO NOT GO to that interview. If it seems wrong it is! I always tell my kids....if youhear the little voice saying "Oh, Oh" LISYEN!

Please be smart PLEASE BE SAFE!

Wait a minute people. Is everyone that posted here okay? Why on earth would you even send your resume in to a company that you don't know their name? Let alone go out to an interview. Please be safe. I know it is hard to find work right now but it is not worth your life. Anyone can post a job on craigslist. Anyone can rent an office.
