OK to give a fake phone number on a short app or long app?

When I submit an application at a company they just bombard my mom's cell phone with calls. Last company had two different recruiters calling her phone.

Some snide person probably wants to know why I would put mommy's phone number. I don't live in the USA. Don't have a USA phone number anymore. Most platforms won't even fit a foreign number.

But the real reason is that I don't want all these snake oil salespeople called recruiters promising to align the sun moon and the stars verbally. Just want to get them to commit to an email dialogue for that reason alone.

Can I use a number like (000) 000-0000?

 

just get a number.

Google voice. look it up

If you don’t use the spoof number in so many days it’s inactivated. thinking 6 months.
And you don’t gotta give your number out.

 

Bingo.

 

LOL

 

Any area code and 767-2676.

 

Any area code and...."867-5309" (ask for "Jennie").......

beat me to it.

 

So let me get this straight.

You're applying for a job, you give them a phone number to call, and get upset when they call you?

Am I missing something here?

 

Get them the number of another trucking company

 

You leave Jenny out of this. She has my number.
