Posted May 24, 2019 05:01:31 The recruiting world is full of scams.
Here are some of the more common ones.
1.
“I know the job title!”
You’ve heard the phrase “I have a great resume” or “I will tell you when I have a good job interview” or any number of other phrases that make it sound as though you’ve already found the right job for you.
The problem is that, unless you’ve read through the resumes of other applicants, you’re likely to have a slightly different experience than what you’re looking for.
That’s because a recruiter can ask you about your resume and then see if they can match you with the right candidate.
In other words, you may have been told your job title is in the middle of your resume, but it’s actually not.
Instead, it’s probably at the top or the bottom of your page, or even the bottom half.
This is one of the biggest scams to try.
2.
“It says ‘internship’ on the cover letter!”
If you’ve worked for a company or worked in a similar role for a while, you probably know that companies want to hire people who are highly motivated.
They don’t want someone who’s going to go to school or take a test.
They want someone with a deep knowledge of the industry, and they want people who can communicate that with confidence.
If the company doesn’t think you have what it takes, they may use this as a way to find a candidate with no previous experience in the industry.
3.
“This company is a good fit!”
This may seem like common sense, but there are plenty of companies that have been found to hire someone without knowing their position.
These are the types of companies, such as those that specialize in medical technology, that recruit the best candidates and then try to hire them.
This can happen when the company has an opportunity to work on a project, but the hiring manager is too busy to actually get to work.
Sometimes, the person is given a position that doesn’t suit their personality.
This will only increase the chances of a candidate getting hired.
4.
“They’ve already hired you!”
This one is a little more complicated.
Some companies don’t require a job offer until the recruiter receives a resume, and then, they try to get the hiring managers to work with them.
Sometimes this involves an interview, and sometimes it involves just asking.
This one will probably happen more frequently than you think.
5.
“We’re looking at the wrong job for the right person!”
This is another common scam.
The recruiter may ask you a question and then use the answer to show that they’re looking into the wrong candidate.
They may even give you an offer.
If you receive this kind of information, you can take a look at your resume to see if it’s true, but you can’t rely on it.
Sometimes a recruitable job will not include a position you actually want.
6.
“You can’t talk to us on the phone!”
This scam may not be as common as it sounds.
There are a number of different scams that recruiters will tell people to tell them, but in general, the best advice is to never tell a recruitor that you don’t have a job.
This means you shouldn’t talk about the company or its location, or ask if they want to talk about anything else.
7.
“What do you do?”
This is probably the most common scam to try, and it’s very common.
It can happen because a company doesn and does not like a particular candidate.
Some employers may not want someone to go out of their way to work for them, and other employers may be uncomfortable with a candidate that doesn.
This type of job offer can also occur because of an unexpected increase in the hiring season.
8.
“My family won’t let me work with you!”
If the recruiting company is offering a position where you can do a job for them and have family to cover the costs, this may be a great opportunity to get hired.
However, it is not advisable to apply to a job you can only do for yourself.
You should always ask for permission from the family before you apply.
9.
“These are your family members?”
This type is even more common.
When a company hires you, you’ll be asked to work as a part of their team, but this doesn’t mean you’re the only family member on their team.
It’s important to ask for the family’s approval first before you go ahead and apply.
10.
“Where do I find out more about them?”
If you’re a young candidate, you might not even know where to begin looking for work.
If this is the case, try to contact the company’s HR department.
Some of the companies that do offer family-friendly jobs may also offer some job opportunities at the company level.
