Finding your dream job is tough enough without dodging scam artists! 🎣 I recently had a close call, and it reminded me how important it is to be vigilant. Here's what happened: A recruiter contacted me about a role that seemed perfect. Everything looked legit – professional website, well-crafted emails, even a scheduled interview. But during the call, something felt off. 🚩 I decided to reach out to the recruiter on LinkedIn...and discovered it was a fake! Thankfully, I dodged a bullet, but it could have been disastrous. One red flag I learned: 🚩 Unrealistic urgency. If you're being pressured to act fast ("limited positions," "need your resume ASAP"), be suspicious. Check out this quick read article from Dice for more tips: https://lnkd.in/gM7kPnci My questions for you: 1 - How do you verify a recruiter is legitimate? 2 - Have you ever encountered a phishing scam in your job search?
