Looking for Jobs in the USA - Job Hunting Tips

One of the cheapest and inexpensive methods of looking for a job in the USA is via the Internet.

The only problem with this method is that according to a "Large Search Engine Executive" the internet is a cesspool of scum.

There are a number of phishing sites that post fake jobs to capture personal information from job seekers then re-sell this info to identy theft criminals.

When looking for a job in the USA use common sense and verify that the business offering the job is properly registered and operating at the listed address.

Job seekers can go to the local library and use the many free directories to verify that a company exists and has real products and services. There are many directories such as Dun and Bradstreet, Scotts Industrials and many others. You can ask the librarian for the most appropriate industry directory and confirm that the business is real.

If the business claims to be "too new to be registered" then ask for references. Real new business's have to provide references to open bank accounts, sign leases or open trade accounts. A "real" new business will provide references.

If you actually know the company history, locations, products, services and spcialties your chances of getting an interview as a job seeker will probably double.

NEVER give your credit card information or bank account pin numbers when applying for a job.

With the economy sliding off the cliff it is difficult to get a job - work hard but be smart and protect your information.
