Another thing adding insult to injury is getting phone calls or e-mails about "jobs" that are scams or "pyramid schemes". These people get your info off your resume online, and they seem to target people looking for work. Then, there's the usual "phishing" scams.
They ask you if you want to "interview" without telling you WHAT the position is for! Legitimate companies don't even say the word interview unless they grill you over the phone first.
Got one of those insurance sales agent calls, where you have "unlimited earning potential, can set your own schedule & be your own boss." Sounds too good to be true, and you know what that means...If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
I remember the old days when you either called, snail-mailed/faxxed your resume, or walked in. Nowadays, everything has to be ONLINE, making your personal info much more visible to people other than the employer you want to have it!
In the old days, I never got any scam phone calls or e-mails. I'm sure scams have always been around, but now, thanks to technology, it's easier for these scumbags to call or e-mail people.
