I got an email from TheMeaterEater, a online video content producer on hunting/fishing and cooking game, that they had found my profile as a video editor and wanted to talk to me about a remote editing position. It seemed completely possible at this point as I have been looking for remote video editing work and have been a professional editor since 1996.
The pay was good, they'd supply a computer (hmm, but okay I need a new one). I "interviewed" via app.wire.com site and the questions were boilerplate and very non-specific (which in hindsight is weird because the company caters to a very specific group of people who hunt and fish plus there's usually discussion about work experience). But I thought maybe they are using an HR screening company to filter out folks not worth talking to.
Then I got a call from a very unprofessional sounding guy "Mitchell Austin" who mumbled and had to ask to repeat more than once that I got the job. I was happy. The phone number was NYC 929-520-9585. He said you need to get back in touch with MeatEater for the "onboarding" details.
I got back in touch with "Michael Wilson" who's profile pic was a white dude with a 1950s haircut on wire.com. Despite his anglo name and face, his English wasn't perfect. They had me fill out boilerplate HR docs with MeatEater logo on it.
