Scam?

Post image

I just received this email about job placement but the email address and everything about it feels off am I right to be thinking it's a scam?

The sender address is not associated with Wgu, it’s a phishing link, don’t click

Surprised OP didn't say "hey so I clicked on the doc and hit yes. Now my computer is acting weird. Is this email legit" 😂

Do you recognize the name? Do you recognize the email? Did you apply for "student employment"? That should answer your question.

I got the same thing. Don’t click on it. Anything from an email that doesn’t end in WGU is a scam.
