Job Description

I have been looking for a WFH job for the longest time, however, whenever I try to question people about it, they give me vague answers. I have a close friend that I only found out by searching her Linked in account and how she interacted with people because *she wouldn't even tell me what her field of work was*. I've never met a non-WFH person who outright refuses to tell me at least which company their work for or what they work with. Meanwhile, WFH people do it all the time. Is it an insecurity thing? Is it because you struggled to get the job so other people have to struggle as well? Honestly I have never had issues helping people out, or taking their CVs to give to a manager, I've been where they've been and it doesn't hurt to help. However, I haven't had the same experience. I never get clear answers, people just beat around the bush and give a vague answer which is no better than no answer. It's so frustrating, me getting a job isn't gonna get you fired, Jan.
