With rising unemployment comes a lot more people looking for work, and of course, a lot of people are turning to internet job boards because they believe it is a safe, simple, and productive way to find a job. Well, I have known people who were invited for legitimate interviews and found jobs on the big job boards, but I also know that getting a resume noticed is very tough these days.

But now you also need to beware of job postings that do not really offer jobs, but instead are anything from misleading to outright scams. You have probably seen the so-called job postings that are thinly disguised ads for the latest MLM or home business opportunity, and believe it or not, those ads are probably the best of a bad lot!

Beware of any employment offer that requires you to send money, and of course, any that ask you for personal information like a social security number! Of course, when you actually fill out your employment application at a legitimate employer, you may need to give them your ssn, but you should never give one out through an email or over the phone for a company that you are not absolutely sure is legitimate!
