Tip for New Job Seekers

Scam artists take advantage of college students since they tend to be new to the job search and quite vulnerable during the process. They also understand that many students are very interested in finding positions that are paid and advertise their false positions as such.  Become familiar with common job scams to help you protect your privacy and avoid potentially dangerous scams and fraud.
