If you think there are no scams in job postings these days, think again! As the saying goes, "If something's too good to be true, it probably isn't." Here are some clues that should put you on guard as you transition and look for job opportunities. • Finding an opportunity that looks good but is short on details. • An ad asking for a "low upfront payment" to gain access to a list of companies that could use your skills. • Spelling errors. Always do your homework and research, research, research. Be wary of scammers in everything you do, and that certainly includes the job search process!
