I was recently on Orlando Haynes' "CareerTALKS" podcast to discuss job search trends and job scams. This week, the podcast is the job scams segment of his show. Please subscribe to Orlando's podcast and leave a review about our show.

We discuss the increasing prevalence of job search scams and highlight the tactics scammers use to deceive job seekers, such as fake job postings and sophisticated impersonations.

The conversation covers the importance of due diligence, recognizing red flags like financial requests, and verifying recruiter identities through reliable platforms.

I offer steps on how job seekers can protect themselves and identify legitimate job opportunities by being cautious, asking questions, and confirming details directly with companies.
