Identity Theft Concerns

As if job seekers didn't have enough to worry about already, now they're facing identity theft risks too. It seems the unscrupulous individuals who run these rings don't discriminate among victims.

Our advice to job seekers is to keep as much personal information as possible off your resumes and beware to whom you may be speaking. Prospective employers don't need your social security number, direct deposit information, etc until they are ready to extend an offer to you. And by the time they are ready to extend you an offer, you will have visited their site, spoken to other employees, and you'll know they're legitimate.
