As with anything online, there are risks. There will always be the job ads that are trying to trick you into giving them your bank details or asking for money to sign you up to something that may sound fantastic at first, but remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. This is most commonly found in ‘working from home’ jobs, where the employer will not reimburse you for the work you have done or you pay out for expenses that you will never get back. Be wary of employers that want to offer you a job without having a lot of contact, why are they not offering you a job interview, does it feel suspicious to you?
You might also want to think about using social media to apply for jobs, just beware that it is easy for a potential employer to see your profile. Is your social media profile something you want to share in a professional environment? Maybe check your privacy settings before you start!
