[quote=Anonymous]I am flabbergasted.  I interviewed with a family last Friday, phone interview, only 5 minutes, but I assumed it was the initial cut only, just the basics.  Second interview was Monday, 5 minutes on skype.  Not a problem, I figured that they were basically verifying that I'm female and not horrendously obese, personable, etc.  I expected that we would do another interview, longer obviously, to discuss all the particulars of their position, they would ask follow up questions, and I would have a chance to ask my questions (I haven't had a chance to do so, so far).  I'm out of state, looking for live-in positions, so I frequently don't do in person interviews, so it didn't raise any red flags when they hadn't asked for one.  Today, I got a call offering me the job.

I've only messaged back and forth twice with them, both times to set the interviews, the only contact has been an application and two very short interviews, yet they offered me the position?  I asked if they had requested to view the background check on file, but they aren't interested.  They also aren't interested in talking to my references, or even talking more with me!  Who does this?  I understand that finding care for 6 kids, two with high functioning special needs isn't easy, but I would have thought that they'd be more careful!  And my gut is saying to decline the offer, even though it's about $1k/week for about 40 hours, because I don't know anything about them.[/quote]
