I need some advice. I was offered my dream job- remote, excellent pay, good benefits. She found my resume on CareerBuilder, emailed if I was interested, had me fill out an application, and quickly offered me the position. We've never spoken even though she wants me to be her administrative assistant. When I asked to have a conversation before I signed the contract, she said that their call center was only open to current employees and customers and "Telephone communication with our employees is not one of my responsibilities. This is the responsibility of our call center." I really want this job, but I'm not sure I want it if she won't talk to me. Please help.

My spidey sense tells me there is something is not right with this.

Sounds like a scam

Do your homework.. I don't know a single company that would not have a conversation with someone before an offer.

RUN!
Run as far and as fast as you can. I am pretty sure this is a scam. Make sure you do not give them any personal info - especially your Social Security number.
I have been a recruiter for over 20 years AND NO ONE hires people for legitimate jobs this way.
And why in the world would you think you want to work for someone you haven't even spoken to?!
