Okay seriously! I have an account with some job boards even though I know the statistics of actually finding a job on one of them. It never hurts to look at least right? I did take my info off one of the better-known sites after a well-publicized case of fraud awhile back, but kept the rest around. <\/p>\n
Most of the time, I just get the occasional email from places like Careerbuilder with a list of new job listings, but every so often I’ll get an email from some company who “found” my resume on the site and is offering me the best job ever! I would love for just one<\/em> time to get one of those emails that is not a outright scam or just a bad deal like some the “financial services” jobs. Those jobs should really be called “harass your friends and family to buy bad insurance and mutual fund products, but you won’t make a living expect if you can sucker other people into it” jobs. Guess that title would not fit on the business card though. I know some people do fine with those jobs, but have seen many people taken in with promises of large incomes and freedom, spent a bunch of money and times on classes and licensing tests and then nothing. <\/p>\n Right now in my email from Careerbuilder is a “great opportunity” from a company that says they sell site layouts, but poor them, they are in Russia and cannot get a merchants account here in the US. Do not worry though, if I help them out, they will pay me 10% of their earnings that they estimate will be $2,000. Wow! I just need to send them my full name, age, contact phone number and for the purpose of authentication, I should attach a copy of a passport or a driving license. How could I ever turn that down? Darn guess I accidentally deleted the message, my loss. Maybe some Nigerian prince will be able to help them out instead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay seriously!
