Not saying this isn’t a scam, but on the phone number thing…

I sometimes leave my phone number off my CV, because

(a) I hate phone calls: the sound quality is shit and I have trouble understanding people. I much prefer zoom/teams/whatever

(b) I hate it when people (either hiring managers or recruiters) phone me while I’m in an interview… not handing out my phone number to all and sundry helps me avoid that

I’d really hate it if people interpreted “no phone number on CV” as meaning “probably a scammer” :-(
