The Job Hunt Is On
Okay, I think I’ve touched on this in the past, but having become recently unemployed, and seeing unemployment numbers rising daily, I do want to remind job seekers to be a bit careful about how they go about it. There are plenty of people out there looking to take advantage of a bad situation.
One big tempation is to get involved in work at home scams. Often these just take away your limited resources and keep you from finding a stable and constant income.
Other scammers take advantage of this time to collect your personal information through nefarious posts on sites like craigslist. They will suggest that they have a job or a job lead but in reality are just trying to get your information so that they can sell you something. In other words, be careful and good luck finding a job.
I read a news release from the Arkansas Attorney General’s office warning against “work at home” scams. The AG’s office, in fact, declared that most of those things were scams.
That was a staggering statement, huh?
