Stay Safe While Looking for a Job

These five tips to help you avoid the phishers and fraudsters and safely navigate through the pool of online job listings:

Do not disclose your Social Security Number.
Do not give out financial information.
Check the company's contact info and Web site.
Watch for indications that the listing is bogus - misspellings/bad grammar, email address not affiliated with the company's domain name, etc.
Be cautious of postings from overseas employers.
