Filling out online applications is insane. You think you are filling out the application for the site and suddenly realize that you have moved to some other site – perhaps job related as well or for a school or heaven forbid, a scam. That’s right.
I have three different email
accounts. One I had to open in order to
create this blog account. One I keep as
a personal account. The oldest of the
three accounts I keep as a junk mail account.
I used to check it maybe once a month.
Since I’ve been job hunting I will check either daily or at least every
other day. It’s still a lot of email to
go through. I checked it only one time
during the week we had family here. After
Roland had taken them to the airport I had over 200 emails to wade through.
Any site I have ever ordered from, any site connected with the schools in Utah, any job site I have ever looked at and then some are among the emails that I currently receive. Some have posted the same position over and over. I have applied, even interviewed and have not been hired.
Some positions
are questionable – especially all of those who appear from the woodwork that
have “seen my file online” and try to sell me on “I think you would be the
perfect fit” - for telemarketing, for selling
insurance – really? You read my
application? What part of my application
led you to believe that I want anything to do with soliciting product? I have been in education. I have an accounting degree. I don’t wish to be a part of your trafficking's,
thank you very much!
Roland gets a ton of Robo-calls. I am so sick of criminals preying on the weaknesses of those who can’t afford to be taken in by the scams. If you type in Jashin Insurance, for example, it will take you to the Jashin Insurance website – built for suckers who are willing to supply personal information that they should provide only after being hired by said company.
Do NOT give your information
over the phone or over the web. Don’t
provide your social security number or credit card number to anyone who calls
you. We need more honesty and
trust. There is so much skepticism due
to illegal activity. Fortunately we have
a higher power than ourselves. I will
definitely turn to Him before I invest information in all these recruiting
scams. How else I’m I going to know when
the legit finally comes along?
