It's the middle of a recession, which seeks a job. As increasingly desperate, which are more vulnerable to fake job advertisements, online scams, and labor abuse. Yes, these traps are everywhere – in fact, need new laws to protect job seekers like you. Before asking our politicians to take action, here are eight tips for you to avoid using hunting traps.

1. Classifieds Spot fake job. Why would anyone put ads fake job? Because recruiters build their own database of job seekers through the collection of resumes – even jobs do not exist at that time. In addition, companies in poor condition, usually start-ups, fake job ads, so they can make potential investors think that the company is hiring and expanding. Work false ads appear on free and unfree websites. If you've seen a recruiter repeatedly advertising a position common work, which is probably a fake one.

2. If a job does not contain the company name or contact information, not the company is confident on their reputation, or the employer is not serious at all. In any case, will not work for a company like that.

3. Avoid being abused as free labor. If gives a small company making the test at home to write an article about your product or web page design company in two days, reject it. This is not an essay, it is the abuse of labor. However, it is okay to use a 4-hour examination in an established company. Do not accept any payment of a small business practices less than two persons. After all, the company can disappear after your internship.

4. If a job requires your card number credit or asked to buy their product first, it is a scam. A real job does not pay, the other way around.

5. They do not apply for any job Sales does not offer a basic salary. Pure Commission generally means pure exploitation. A true sales position always provides a fixed base salary with commissions to reward high performance.

6. Avoid pyramid schemes and the pitfalls of multilevel marketing. Here is a classic example: "You recruit 10 people, then each of the recruits to 10 people, which in turn recruit 10 people each … you can make millions in commissions." This is a scam, not a business model.

7. Employment Websites reliable use of the search. Even in recession, yet there are plenty of well-paid and secure employment, especially in the public sector expansion. For instance, provides jobs USAJobs.gov the federal government; GovernmentJobs.com providing status and the city government jobs in high-level JobOversight.com lists of many university jobs and school staff.

8. Always experts concerned, even in CNN. Experts are not always correct – That's why we are now in recession. In addition, each individual is different, you know better than experts to speak at the television to attract advertisers. If you need any professional advice, ask people around you first.

Without laws to protect applicants employment, false advertising, online fraud, and abuse of labor increasingly common. Raise awareness, and I hope my tips can help avoid these pitfalls and finally land a great career. Good luck!
