Get Paid to Interview
Looking for a new career? Maybe, maybe not. There is a new service available that lets you interview with companies, even if you are not interested in making a move, solely because they are interested in you.
How interested are they?
Enough to pay you for your time.
How much do they pay you?
Your asking price.
Sound to good to be true?
It probably is. I signed up with NotchUp in January and have yet to receive any offers to interview. I also recognize that the job market in my industry and geographic location is not what it used to be. But I’m curious to know if anyone else has received any offers to interview or even has gone on a paid interview.
NotchUp even has a interview price calculator on their site that helps you get an idea of what to ask for. I have set my price slightly below the suggested price and will update this post if any offers come through.
Companies who view your NotchUp profile will see the resume style setup along with your asking price, but not your name. One of the conveniences of NotchUp is that users don’t have to create a new profile from scratch. I was able to import my LinkedIn profile saving me time and the hassle. The site also now offers a Facebook plugin called Resume4Life that automatically updates a user’s NotchUp profile when changes are made to the work experience section of the connected Facebook profile. I’m a fan of privacy, so I haven’t activated this plugin, but if you have please feel free to share your experiences.
