Stand Out With A QR Code On Resume

If you want to stand out in a pack of competitors, you have got to have that edge. Every little bit counts when the stage is small and packed. Vying for a job works the same way. Imagine walking into the office of your potential employer and you are sitting there, face to face with another bunch of people vying for the same job, holding similar qualifications and have the same kind of experience as you do. All your resumes will kind of look the same to the hirer too. When looking to hire, remember, the potential employer is looking for someone who is ahead. If the potential employer sees a QR Code on your resume, he or she will automatically presume that you are always on the edge out of your seat, looking out for innovative things. This mentality and attitude can only earn you brownie points in the 'initiative' department. Read more at www.beqrious.com

3 Scams to Avoid in an Online Job Search

Know What to Avoid

Money-Laundering Scams Money launderers often create job descriptions that offer commissions or pay as high as $2000 per day to process checks on behalf of foreign nationals. They are recruiting local citizens to "process payments" or "transfer funds," because as foreign nationals, they can't do it themselves. The image below is an example of a money laundering scam hidden behind what appears to be an offer of employment. Learn more about money laundering scams here. »

Reshipping Scams Reshipping, or postal forwarding, scams typically require job seekers to receive stolen goods in their own homes -- frequently consumer electronics -- and then forward the packages, often outside the United States. Those who fall for reshipping scams may be liable for shipping charges and even the cost of goods purchased online with stolen credit cards. Read more about reshipping scams here. »

Pre-pay/Work at Home Scams Although there are genuine jobs working at home, many "offers" are not valid forms of employment and may have the simple goal of obtaining an initial monetary investment from the victim. Using claims such as 'be your own boss' and 'make money quickly', Work at Home scams will not guarantee regular salaried employment and almost always require an "up-front" investment of money for products or instructions before explaining how the plan works.

Protect Yourself

What seems like a lucrative job offer could cost you your savings and more. Learn to identify the signals of an employment scam to protect yourself. When conducting a job search: Look for signals in a job posting or email offer, which could serve as an indicator that what is being presented as employment is not legitimate. Don't get involved with an employer that can't make its business model perfectly clear to you or one that's willing to hire you without even a phone interview. Do your own research on any employer that makes you feel at all uneasy. Never put your social security or national ID number, credit card number, bank account number or any type of sensitive personal identification data in your resume. You should never share any personal information with a prospective employer, even if they suggest that it is for a "routine background check", until you are confident that the employer and employment opportunity is legitimate. Use Monster's resume visibility options to 'Be Safe'. Do not engage in any transaction in which you are requested to transfer or exchange currency or funds to a prospective employer. Remain alert for the Work at Home employers who require you to make an up-front investment. Be cautious when dealing with individuals/companies from outside your own country.
