Don't Get Scammed by Spam!
As many of my friends entered the working world this month, their search for their first jobs post-graduation was grueling and often stressful. While I wouldn't wish their hardships on anyone, it was enlightening to watch others go through the process and learn from what lies ahead for the rest of us.Searching for a job online, many found, involved illegitimate companies that sounded too good to be true. After my peers wisely did more research, they learned they should not trust some of the supposed corporations seeking staff.
They also learned which personal information should be disclosed upfront and which other information could wait until after the interview. Something like a debit/credit card number, for example, could be lethal to anyone-- let alone a recent graduate with an already dwindling bank account.
Precautionary measures to protect yourself are simple, as my friends learned and took action. Sometimes all it takes is a little research and careful decision-making skills to save yourself the hardship of identity theft or fraud. Happy hunting and good luck!
