Additional Tips

Another option for job searching: look at various corporation websites for job opportunities. For example, if you are interested in a career in retail look at Target, Wal-Mart, and other store websites.

National employment databases

Beware of jobs posted on Craigslist and other anonymous online job boards. Red flags that an online job posting is a scam:

  • The job posting is very vague and lacks specific information regarding the employer or job title
  • Poor grammar
  • The pay is higher than typical for that industry/position (if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!)
  • Costs money to apply or asks for other fees (asking for you to pay for a credit card report, background check, etc.).
