SIGNS that a JOB POST is BOGUS!
  • The job title is generic or vague
  • Hourly wage is too high or too specific (34.23/
    hour?)
  • Exclamation points!!! poor grammar,,, weird
    sentences and misspleings.
  • A quick response to your email inquiry tells you
    they have reviewed your resume (when you havent
    sent it yet), leads you to another website that
    promises more job openings, or asks you to sign
    up for a web-conferencing service.
