A Review Of Legitimate Job Openings VS Scam 'employment' Opportunities

By Geraldine Hopkins


You are trying to find a company to work for, but what should you be relying on? Word of mouth, company review sites, or scam blog sites that ridicule a company or just maybe go to the source? Today it's hard to look at job search without skimming a blog that illustrates the company at large as an oblique exploiter its employees. This writing is constantly found on the web.

A lot of these scam blogs and company review sites are written by folks with no work ethic or drive so they would rather feel better by mocking and griping about a company that gave this writer the opportunity to a career and asked only that the person do the hard work and strive. Now for those of you looking to find real work and succeed in a career you will be happy to be a part of, here a few helpful hints will get you ready to go.

The job sites are your friend. Monster.com, careerbuilder.com, Indeed.com and Beyond.com to name a few of the reputable sites that will not only find work in your area but give you a heads up of what you can expect of each job. Reviewing these sites, as they are easily available and ready to assist you in finding that job that fits you, is a real coup. As an example, I read that DMA Portland has openings for entry level and management positions. I simply looked it up to see what was open in the area.

Visiting BBB.org is a smart plan. Upon review, The Better Business Bureau's reason for being is making certain businesses are held accountable for their actions. Keeping track of genuine complaints and grievances against the company and the compliments of companies' accomplishments, how they hire and overall excellence they adhere to.

Review the company's website. Often enough, with any company big or small they will have a company website offering you their mission statement, a little about them, what they expect out of potential employees, where their location is and finally their contact information. This convenience makes looking for work a snap and allots you some insight to the inner workings of the business at hand.

Speak with the contact. All of the reviews, homework, and calculating of what the company does is great but you still have questions unanswered. Speak with the human resources and pitch your subject matter. Is this company offering stock options, 401K, health and dental benefits? Listen closely to what he or she has to say, put some notes together and explain what you know of the company you've been reviewing to show you are ready to being immediately. Be professional and courteous during and after the conversation.

Beyond the scam boards and complaint sites is plenty to read and give you a better understanding of each company and what their purpose is. Establishing contact at your choice company warrants you better idea and allows you feel out the staff you will be working with. A careful review of these steps will contribute to an exceptional job and more control of your life. Use your head and weigh all the options before you make your final decision.
