?? How To Stop Identity Theft From Losing You New Jobs

?? How To Stop Identity Theft From Losing You New Jobs 185 If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Photo Credit: JD Hancock Imagine that after applying for a job online, you suddenly get an enthusiastic response. A human resources manager from a top company is interested in your candidacy. Turns out you might be just the person they’re looking for. All they need from you now is some personal information for a routine background check to make sure you qualify. Naturally you feel excited about the prospect of working with more interesting clients and earning a better salary. So, in hopes of securing a position, you provide them with your data without thinking too much into it. After all they are a reputable company working with important clients. Or are they? Unfortunately, job markets have been infiltrated by criminals who seek to exploit your trusting nature and collect your personal information with fake job ads. Identity theft is a common cybercrime and it can wreak havoc in your financial life or damage your personal reputation. Luckily there are some warning signs to watch out for. If you don’t want to experience the stress of spending your whole afternoon canceling credit cards, setting up fraud alerts and nervously checking your account balances, then keep in mind the following tips to protect yourself from cybercrime and don’t let it affect your job search. Pay attention… there's a quiz with a real scam to test your knowledge at the bottom of the article. Free bonus: Download 366 Top Tips to Rock Your Job Search Every Day of 2020 for easy reference, where I've highlighted effective tips that job seekers tend to not know . 4 red flags that should raise suspicion 1) Poor language use Common sense tells us that if something sounds too good to be true, it almost always is. Similarly, if something just seems too awkward to be real it’s also probably a fraud. Frequent spelling mistakes, poor grammar and strange sentence structures are usually a clear sign that the person who wrote the job posting is definitely not from the company they claim to represent. 2) Non-company domain names Another red flag is raised when the “hiring” company uses someone else's website or domain name in their listings. For example, when contact information in the job posting has a Gmail address. Why wouldn’t they use company email? A real human resources employee would never request communication via a private email address. 3) Requests for sensitive information An application form that asks for a lot of sensitive information is yet another telltale sign that something isn't right. Requiring your bank account number, credit card number, your mother’s maiden name, or even a four-digit PIN code is almost certainly an overkill. Stop and think about it for a moment. People looking for a job are in need and tend to do anything if they think it’s going to help them get hired. Fraudsters are aware of this psychological weakness and expect you to forego your skepticism when your hopes get up. Ask yourself, why would they really need so much information up front? Does it even make sense? If still in doubt, it doesn’t hurt to call the company to verify if the job posting is legitimate. 4) High sense of urgency Fake job listings also create a sense of urgency because the job is supposed to start in a couple of weeks. And therefore they request that you should give out your sensitive information immediately. Sometimes it can be true that the company is in a hurry. But keep in mind that creating a sense of urgency is also an age old marketing technique to get us to take action more quickly. Don’t let your inherent fear of missing out stop you from thinking things through and doing your research. Even if most job seekers would prefer to have companies seek them out than the other, usual way around, be more cautious when a recruiter contacts you out of the blue about a position you haven’t applied for. Especially if they ask for sensitive information, you should again call the company and check if that recruiter is indeed a company employee or representative. And safeguard your information until then, in particular your Social Security Number (SSN or other ID number, depending on your country). Only give out your ID information to vetted contacts In a way, your SSN is the key to your personal world. It’s your most important identity asset. A skilled hacker can use it to do significant financial damage such as hijacking your credit accounts, opening new ones, going on a shopping spree, obtaining illegal products and services and even commit all sorts of crimes while pretending to be you. In the worst case scenario, this could even put your life at risk. If you must share it, only do it after verifying that the request is legitimate in the first place. While online job boards do what they can to remove fake postings you can never be 100% sure that they haven’t missed something. Ultimately, you are the gatekeeper of your personal information and the best way to protect yourself from identity thieves is to be skeptical and limit access to your sensitive data as best as you can. Quiz How many of the above warning signs can you find in this real life employment scam letter below? Poor language use Non-company domain names Requests for sensitive information High sense of urgency View Results Why you MUST notify companies of potential corporate identity theft If you suspect a job scam, a quick google or Twitter search of the company's name might be enough to confirm or remove your fears. https://twitter.com/Tgodly97/status/743707936849965056 But what if the fake job posting appears from a real company, including their logo, address, etc., while still showing some of the warning signs mentioned above? A google search might only help build the phony ad's credibility if it's supposedly from a company you hadn't already heard of. Your best option is to reach out to the company directly to get confirmation, but NOT with the contact information used in the ad. Rather, look for different contact information found online. If a job scammer can post fake ads, they can also create fake company websites with the same contact information used in the ads. Avoiding applying to a scam would be a win for you, but there's an even better reason you should call companies about this: doing a company a favor upfront is a fantastic way to get yourself in the door. Doing a company a favor upfront is a fantastic way to get yourself in the door ??Click To Tweet Calling a company to ask about your resume will often get a standard response from a receptionist, but calling a company to say that someone may be stealing their corporate identity with a job application scam will be taken much more seriously. That call is also more likely to get you through that reception gatekeeper to someone who can actually do something about the problem: an HR person who is aware of current company job openings, the exact person you would want to talk to there. They would know if the ad in question is fake, and if you explain how and why you found the ad, they just might be interested in you for a real job opening at the company.

The Virtues and Dangers of Social Media in Recruitment

The Virtues and Dangers of Social Media in Recruitment About a month ago, I wrote a blog about social media and employee rights in the workplace. When I showed it to one of my coworkers, she responded by saying, “YOU wrote a blog on social media?! I thought you were anti-social media?” For the record, I’m not anti-social media, but I admit I have been cautious about embracing it. I view social media as a double-edged sword, especially for the recruiting industry. It’s a tool, and like any tool in the hardware store, it can be used to create incredible things, but also to destroy them. What should social media be for? On any given day, I make it a point to check my social media accounts. In just a few minutes, I can gain insight into the most pressing current events around the world, what’s going on in the lives of my friends and colleagues, new developments and technology related to the recruiting industry, and many other topics of interest that I never would have thought I’d find. However, in order to get to this info, I must sift through thousands of memes, photos of people planking, tweets about how long the line is at Starbucks, photos of what everyone had to eat that day, endless political propaganda, and various other posts that serve little purpose other than to relieve the poster’s boredom. Now, I’m not saying that social media should only be used for business purposes. I enjoy a good cat photo or Korean music video as much as anyone. But for some, social media has become a public forum to voice every thought that enters their heads, no matter how controversial. For others, it has replaced e-mail, and allows them to publicly share one-on-one conversations that no one else cares to read. Surprisingly, many who are guilty of this are job seekers, and even the occasional recruiter who should know better. Social media is a way to find your next job Social media has opened a whole new world for both job seekers and recruiters. Last year, Jobvite, a recruiting platform for the social web, conducted a Social Job Seeker Survey asking 2,100 people about their current employment status and the role of social networks in their job search. Amazingly, one in six of the employed respondents credited social media for their current job, and 52% of all job seekers reported using Facebook to look for work. Jobvite president Dan Finnigan stresses what all recruiters will tell you â€" in order to be a well-rounded job seeker, a candidate must maintain a professional social media presence. A professional presence empowers the candidate to connect with thousands of people that would have never been possible a decade ago. But as the Spiderman movies taught us, with great power comes great responsibility. In a recent article by Bill Davidow featured on The Atlantic, Davidow describes how we are in the midst of a “narcissism epidemic” that is being fed by social media. In a recent study conducted at Western Illinois University, researchers measured two socially disruptive aspects of narcissistic personalities â€" grandiose exhibitionism and entitlement/exploitativeness. Those who had high scores on grandiose exhibitionism tended to amass more friends on Facebook. The conclusion was that social media platforms are frequently used by those with narcissistic tendencies to feed their egos. And while the majority of social media users don’t fall into this category, narcissists set many of the benchmarks for everyday users â€" i.e., achieving more friends or followers by posting quantity over quality. Justin Bieber got a tattoo on his face? Good luck getting a job, pal. @midnight (@midnight) May 9, 2016 In case youre not Justin Bieber The result is the illusion of being an internet celebrity…perhaps in one’s own mind. But unless you’re Justin Bieber, even your close circle of friends will eventually tire of your posts if they are too numerous, too controversial or just plain annoying. And that doesn’t even take into account those who don’t know you, but may be checking out your page. If you are a job seeker, you should be especially cognizant of this. What kind of message are you sending to prospective employers? That you find yourself thoroughly entertaining, and therefore everyone else must too? Most people don’t want to work with someone who is too verbose, too political or too opinionated. If this is the message you are unwittingly sending out on Facebook or Twitter, it could be a huge red flag to someone thinking of hiring you. And if you are a recruiter or employer, your social media behavior should serve as an example to job seekers. In today’s job market, whether you are a job seeker or recruiter, you are at an obvious disadvantage if you’re not pro-social media. Just be sure to ask yourself whether you are leaving a positive impression on those in your social network â€" especially those who don’t know you. Remember to post/tweet responsibly. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Ready For a New Start In 2017 How About A New Job

Ready For a New Start In 2017 How About A New Job The following is a guest post by Vera Marie Reed.  Her bio follows. The beginning of a new year always seems to be a time to reflect on our lives in every aspect. For many, a new year is a good motivation to start something new or pursue an old interest. A new year is often a good starting point to reevaluate your career goals or start a new career. Whether you are looking to change up your career or you are a stay-at-home mom looking to get back into the workforce, starting a new job in the new year can be both exciting and scary. Taking a plunge into a completely new career can force you to learn a lot about yourself and often you will be hit with rejection. However, going through these obstacles can make the path to career success that much sweeter. Here are some tips and tricks to help you successfully pursue your new career path: Find Your Passion â€" If you are tired of the job you have now, but are unsure about where to start in finding a new career path just think about what you are already passionate about. Often we get too caught up in looking for careers that will lead to a passion instead of pursuing our current interests. Think about the various hobbies or interests you already do now and figure out ways that you can incorporate them into your new career. For example, if you are someone that uses art as a way to relax perhaps you can pursue a career in that field as a creator or even work at your local art museum or studio. Pursuing a passion as a job is a great way to ensure motivation throughout your new career path. Create A Vision Board â€" Vision boards are often used in companies to help employees set and visualize goals. Using a vision board to help visualize what you want to accomplish in the year in regards to your career can help you get a daily reminder and some motivation. Vision boards can also help you keep track of your accomplishments throughout the year. Make A Plan â€" Creating a new career plan can give you more motivation to actively pursue your new career. Start off with small tasks such as reviving your resume or look into online career forums. Small tasks like these will make your plan seem easier to accomplish rather than being too overwhelming. Remember, to be realistic with your plan as well. Starting a new career takes patience and nothing will happen overnight. Thus, it is important to keep up your momentum and have a well thought out plan that you can follow to help you keep busy when things seem to be slow. Network with Professionals â€" In today’s communication heavy world, networking is the key to finding success in a new career. Networking with professionals in the field you plan on pursuing has been made much easier thanks to the internet. Websites such as LinkedIn can help you meet new people from the comfort of your home. There are also many websites that can alert you about industry meet ups and mixers were you can mingle with executives in the field. However, introducing yourself is just the first step in networking. Remember to keep in touch with everyone you meet and start conversations that can lead to lasting professional relationships. Document Your Progress â€" Keeping a journal on your career progress this year is another great way not just to reflect on your progress, but also a great way to see what has been working and what has not. Career journaling for a new career can help you stay focused on your goals as well as a great way to vent about some obstacles or frustrations you come across. Knowledge is Power â€" If you want to pursue a new career, the most obvious but often most overlooked step is to educate yourself about the industry. Some people jump headfirst into a career without really understanding how that industry works and the current outlook of that field. Doing research about the pros and cons of that new career path can help you prepare for what you might encounter once you begin. Knowing the industry will also make you more knowledgeable and interesting to potential employers. For many women starting a new career is a life-changing step that can lead ultimately to a lifetime of happiness. However, the first step is to pursue that career and many need that sign to motivate them. A new year might just be the sign you have been waiting for to jump into a new career path.

Fired to Hired An Interview with Tory Johnson

Fired to Hired An Interview with Tory Johnson By, Nicole Crimaldi We are so excited to feature Tory Johnson and her new book Fired to Hired! At just 22, Tory Johnson was fired from her dream job as a publicist at NBC News. What followed is an all too familiar story-days of denial, Häagen-Dazs, and daytime TV. Torys pity party turned into a misery marathon until she decided to own up to her new reality and move forward. After writing a cathartic Dear Andy letter to the boss who arrogantly sent her packing, Tory made a cognitive shift-vowing to get going on the next chapter of her life, learning valuable lessons along the way. After a few intermediate jobs, Tory founded Women For Hire, a leading provider of comprehensive career services for women, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this fall. She also became Good Morning Americas workplace contributor. In her role as career guru and mentor, Tory helps people all over the country land a first job, get back to work after time off, or find the career that feeds the wallet and the soul. Now for some real questions  answers with Tory: When you tried to go from fired to hired after losing your job at NBC News, what obstacles did you face? When I was fired from NBC News from a job I loved and a place I considered heaven on earth, I was stunned. I thought my world had come to an end. I was embarrassed. I didnt want to talk to anyone. I stayed in my apartment for weeks and weeks. Ultimately I had to accept that the job was over, but my life and career could continue just fine. I had come out of hiding, pick up the phone and reach out to all of my contacts. I had to hold my head and realize that the skills and successes were still mine-and nobody could take those away. If I get laid off today, whats the first thing I should do? Two things simultaneously: Indulge in a pity partygive yourself a moment to let your emotions run wild. Youll no doubt feel scared, frustrated, angry, and maybe a tinge of relief. Acknowledge those concerns, but dont allow them to consume you. After all, youve got a lot of work to do. Focus on your finances. If youve lived paycheck to paycheck, its time for a reality check. What are your monthly obligations and which ones can you lower? How much money do you have in reserve? File promptly for unemployment, with an emphasis on accuracy and honesty so your claim isnt delayed or denied. What are 3 mistakes you see jobseekers making most often? Trotting out the nobodys hiring excuse. By assuming there are no jobs out there, youre looking for an easy excuse-a crutch-to throw in the towel and give up on your search. When I appeared on Larry King Live earlier this year, a caller phoned in to ask how he could possibly find a job when 90 percent of the local employers in his area werent hiring. My answer is always the same: Focus on the other 10 percent. You dont need 100 percent of the employers to be in hiring mode. You only need one to say yes. Talking mainly about your needs. Its not about what you want, dummy. Its about what they want. No employer will hire you because of what you want-such as an opportunity for growth in a progressive company. Forget that nonsense and recognize that youll only be hired based on what the company wants. Figure out what they want and position yourself as an ideal match. (Ultimately you have to want the same things for yourself, but as a jobseeker, sell yourself based on their needs first, not your own.) Spraying and praying. Only a fraction of online time should be spent on the giant job boards because they lead to a false sense of accomplishment. You submit hundreds of resumes and you feel pretty good about yourself. You assume someone out there will respond to at least one, if not more, of your submissions. All logical assumptions-and all wrong. Job searching in a recession is more about quality than quantity. If youre not following up and proactively reaching out directly to decision makers, your chances of being discovered in that big black hole are slim. Where do jobseekers say theyre spending most of their time online? Sadly, the sites they turn to most often are the giant job boards. Thats fine for finding job leads and getting a sense of whos hiring and whats out there. But its hardly enough. I steer them to social networking sites. Anyone looking for a job should be on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Its not good enough to simply have an account and amass a slew of contacts, friends and followers: youve got to work those connections to make them work for you. Embrace the 60/40 rule: 60% of your jobsearch time should be spent offline, with just 40% spent online using job boards, social networking sites, blogs and industry sites. Give us a few quick tips that are easy to apply: Enhance your digital identity. When we want to find out about someone or something, we google it. If nothing comes up, it must not exist. Dont be absent in cyberspace. When a prospective employer or contact googles you, make sure something comes up-ideally information that enhances your professionalism and touts your credentials. Online social networks-Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn-can help you do just that. Create a free digital resume at VisualCV.com. Start a blog. Post comments on influential industry blogs to tout your knowledge.   No typos, duh. Three out of four (76%) executives surveyed by staffing firm Accountemps said just one or two typos in a resume would remove applicants from consideration for a job. Ask 3 people to proof a hard copy-dont rely on spell check. Read it backwards too.   Dont blame your age. Resist the urge to blame the one thing you cant control-age. Even though workers age 45+ are disproportionately represented in the long-term unemployed, its not impossible to get hired. Youll no doubt encounter over-qualified, which is often code for too old, but keep plugging away.   Spend 3 to 4 hours a day devoted to your search. If youre not working on it daily, itll take longer to get hired. If youve been struggling for months without success, wipe the slate clean and start over.   Mind your credit. Poor credit, which is more and more likely for some people in a recession with prolonged unemployment, can prevent you from getting hired. Dont bury your head to mounting debt and unpaid bills. Be proactive about addressing this if its an issue for you.   Ask for feedback. If youre going on interviews but never hearing back, ask for candid comments on why you werent selected. Dont get confrontational; just make it clear that youd greatly appreciate the benefit of feedback to help you going forward.    Thanks Tory!   Im really looking forward to reading your book!

How to Move Abroad and Take Your Job With You - Part II - Career Pivot

How to Move Abroad and Take Your Job With You - Part II - Career Pivot How to Move Abroad â€" Part II By Neldahinojosa â€" Own work, GFDL, Link This is a follow-up post to the article I wrote for Flexjobs.com,How to Move Abroad and Take Your Job With You. I am writing this post from the patio of the Casita I am renting with my wife in Ajijic Mexico. Why are we doing this? The cost of health insurance, the unstable situation in Washington D.C. related to health insurance, and because we can. My wife and I are over 60 years of age, self-employedand neither of us is eligible for Medicare yet. I will cover technology, transportation and this time, the community in this post. This part of an ongoing series. Please check out theHow to Move Abroad and Take Your Job With You Series Page. Technology Basically, this boils down to 2 types of technologies: mobile phone and Internet connectivity. Mobile Phone I am a long-time ATT wireless customer, and as a former Lucent employee (the first tech startup I worked for was acquired by Lucent), I still have a hefty discount on any ATT plan. Rather than buy a separate data plan for Mexico, I upgraded to an unlimited data plan which includes all of Mexico. I will revert back to my original data plan after we return in a couple of weeks. This has allowed me to take calls seamlessly. Calling U.S. telephone numbers, on the other hand, has been … interesting. If I dial from the keypad to the U.S. based number, it will not work. If I take the same number and enter it into my iPhone Contacts app and dial from there â€" it works. Very odd, but it works. Listen to the most recent episode It has been very convenientto have access to data of all of my favorite apps on my iPhone. This was in sharp contrast to when I was in Cuenca, Ecuador, where I had only 3G access and the carrier changed every few blocks I walked. Basically, I had all of the services I would want on my trusty iPhone 6s. Internet I have had yet another very interesting experience with the Internet in Ajijic. I admit Iam spoiled. I have Google Fiber installed in my condominium in Austin, Texas. Then again how do you define high-speed Internet access? Ajijic is no different than the previous locations I have traveled to, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and Cuenca, Ecuador, the Internet connectivity is years behind what we have in the U.S. To be technical it is VDSL which is a technology I worked with about 15 years ago. It allows Internet traffic to travel over old copper wiring that has been in place for years. When I arrived at the casita we are renting, I tested the upload and download speeds and what I found was the download speeds of about 4Mb/sec was acceptable but the upload speeds of .2 Mb/sec was abysmal. This will not support a video Skype call and barely a Skype audio call. I am testing to see if it will support a Zoom.us call. These types of speeds are acceptable for most of your basic Internet functions but they are unacceptable when you want to have a high-quality video call. My next option to explore is run the video calls over my cell phone connection. ATT does not let me create a hotspot and share my Internet connection with other devices. Skype will not connect my iPhone â€" Zoom will â€" but I have not completely tested that yet. The concept of working virtual when you move abroad only works if you have a high-speed Internet connection. Transportation Ajijic is very easy to get to from the U.S. compared to the other cities that we are exploring. Ajijic is a 25-minute taxi ride from the Guadalajara airport. There are many flights from all over the U.S. We had a lot of choices of direct flights from the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) airport to Guadalajara that were all quite reasonably priced. Ajijic is very walkable if you do not mind walking on cobblestone streets. Taxis and buses are quite accessible and affordable. We have found many expats who live here do own automobiles. However, we have also met many who quite happily live automobile-free which is something we are looking for. This is one feature that draws many to this community. Expats either want easy ways to travel home to visit family or to return to the U.S. for healthcare. When you move abroad, transportation back to your home country is absolutely critical. Community Ajijic is a much smaller city, than San Miguel de Allende and Cuenca. Only about 15,000 people live here. According to Wikipedia, there are about 1,000 full-time residents and 700 snowbirds who come for the winter months. It is not an international tourist destination and, therefore, most of the tourists are local or are people exploring the area for retirement. The “feel” of the city is very different than San Miguel de Allende or Cuenca. It feels like a community (including the locals) seem to have embraced the expats and what they bring to the community. The region supports a healthy expat community which varies from 10,000 to 25,000 but many are snowbirds and only live in the region during the winter. Depending on who you listen to there are anywhere between 500,000 to 1 million expats living in Mexico. Expats in Ajijic and the surrounding towns make up a larger portion of the population than the other locations we visited and, therefore, they have created a community within a community. Plus, best I can tell, the expats coming here in large part cannot afford to build million dollar villas but rather have much more modest abodes. These homes are still quite opulent when compared to the locals abodes but nothing like I experienced in places like San Miguel de Allende where multimillion-dollar compounds were not unusual. What’s Next We will be traveling to Boquete Panama early in 2018. I also want to do a column on finances when you move abroad but continuing to do work back in the U.S. I would really appreciate any comments on whether you find this useful.

Mickey Rooney I was on my way to work today (commuting via public transportation) and when I looked up (from my mobile device), I noticed that almost everyone on the train was looking at a mobile phone, Blackberry, tablet or eReader. If you commute via public transportation, take a look and let me know what you see. Even more interesting (or maybe sad) is to watch people in restaurants. Same deal, so many people focused on their mobile devices (even with someone sitting across from them!).

Information About Resume Writing Tamu

Information About Resume Writing TamuOne of the best career opportunities in Utah is the field of Telecommunications and IT. Tamu specializes in the application of IT technology to telecommunications software development. This industry has grown exponentially since its inception, but not as quickly as other industries have and the positions are in high demand.One of the things that makes Tamu stand out is its longevity. As the name suggests, it is one of the oldest, most reliable, and experienced organizations in the State of Utah. Being a young, progressive company, Tamu prides itself on developing strong relationships with its employees and has established itself as one of the top telecommunications companies in the state. Because of this, many opportunities exist for applicants who are willing to take a risk on gaining employment through this unique opportunity.The selection process for Tamu is one that will require thorough and careful consideration. Each candidate for employment will be evaluated based on several factors, including their experience, educational background, the quality of their work history, and their potential and reputation. They also look for positive traits that may transcend the technical aspects of their job.Once a candidate is selected, the applicant will begin the rigorous selection process that Tamu uses to determine which candidates are suitable for employment. After all, the success of this company rests upon the success of the individuals it hires. Although Tamu does not interview candidates on the same level as other companies, it will use a variety of tests to evaluate the candidate's personal and professional potential. Each candidate will be required to take the Personality Test, for example, before he or she is offered an interview.After the candidate has been interviewed, it is then time for them to pass a series of written exams, which represent a test of the applicant's skills and knowledge. These exams will require the candidate to answer questions in a short period of time, after which a written score sheet will be emailed to the candidate. Because applicants are expected to take the most difficult exam first, these exams will help to determine a candidate's future potential.Once all of the information is gathered, the job requirements for Tamu are reviewed. Because Tamu's goals are to provide highly trained IT professionals to companies throughout the State of Utah, the number of applicants for each position must be considered.
