Job Scam Alert: Run Now if Employers Skip This

Vigilance is required of each step of applying to internships, jobs, or volunteer work.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is likely the primary tool in the scammer’s arsenal. Not because it is doing everything for scammers, but their scaling the use of AI is causing constant doubt and fear. Both are the kryptonite for most job seekers entering a bare-bones job market.

Thanks for joining me for this short episode.

In this episode, I continue to discuss briefly two articles:

This article about Alaska came out after this episode was produced, but the report is recent.

Rutgers article warns students to be hyper-aware of job and internship scams. Michigan is also ringing the alarms on campus about awareness.

I also dive into the vigilance about background checks. This article discusses your rights and is a good way to educate yourself.

My advice remains the same: clarify, verify, and don’t just apply.

Stay safe and strategic out there.
