Reached out to the Toronto office of this agency for corporate writing opportunities via LinkedIn. I told them upfront that I don't supply job references (that can be used as sales leads) unless I actually had an offer in hand. After applying for the first "opportunity" that fit my qualifications, I was told over the phone that the client was no longer hiring. Big red flag right there. In the 10 months that have elapsed since then, I have received no further news about other possible job opportunities that I might be suitable for. I *did* receive an email asking me if I would consider re-locating to the US. During a global pandemic and civil unrest? Yeah right.
