Wanted: Fionding a Job
"I saw an ad in the newspaper for jobs in corporate finance. I faxed my resume to the 800-number listed and got a call from a woman who said her company works with businesses to find employees to fill their positions. She said the service would cost me $495, but the fee was fully refundable if I was dissatisfied or found a job on my own. She guaranteed me interview opportunities and told me that if I found a job through her company there was a good chance my new employer would reimburse me for the fee. I never got an interview, let alone a refund, and now I can't even get the company to return my calls." The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sues businesses that fraudulently advertise employment openings and guarantee job placement. Consumers who respond to these ads think they're contacting a bona fide placement service that's seeking candidates to fill specific jobs. Instead, they're reaching businesses that rarely help consumers get employment thorugh its services. For more information, see this helpful publication. |
