Should I consider this job even if its not a good fit?

So I got a job offer at a company that I could not find when looking on the internet. Their website does not pop up on Google. They claim to have an office in a building in the city that holds a lot of other companies as well. The thing is, I don't remember applying for this job or company. I know they might have accessed my info from indeed as I did have my profile public for a while, but that was a while ago. The person I was speaking with through text message called me to set up a Zoom meeting. She also sent me a link to their website. I clicked and was led to a sort of convincing website as far as aesthetically, but it is very vague and doesn't tell you much about the company. It only tells you they work with Spectrum and Special Olympics.

Yesterday, I spoke to another representative who did look like he was in a legit office (a small, old office), so they might be legit. He explained to me that the role they were looking to fill was for a nonprofit fundraising role that would also speak to donors on behalf of the Special Olympics. The minute he said that, I was a little shaken as I am more introverted and convincing people to donate is not something I have done before. However, I have been on the job search for over a year and I am desperate. I don't know if I can possibly get over my shyness for a role like this but the rep said they are looking for someone outgoing.

I don't know what to do. I have a second interview tomorrow with the Manager who is supposed to give more information. The company itself just seems like a unknown desperate company.

The job probably pays a percentage of how much money you raise instead of salary. If that is the case, take a pass on this.

If there are no other job opportunities, yes you should.

Thanks for the MHO

I understand your dilemma. If the job doesn't align with your strengths or career goals, carefully consider if it's worth accepting, especially given the uncertainty surrounding the company's legitimacy. Your instincts matter—if something feels off, trust that. Use the second interview to ask focused questions about the company’s history, growth, and specific role expectations. If possible, search for employee reviews on platforms like Glassdoor. While being open to new experiences is crucial, prioritize finding a role where you can genuinely contribute and grow. Always consider your well-being and long-term satisfaction.

Sounds fishy.
