As I continue to look for my first job in my career (and if I’m REALLY lucky- my only job   I have come across a lot of false hiring “companies.” 

If you have a weird feeling about a company, there’s your first red flag (and hopefully your only one).  Also, if you’ve never heard of a company- be suspicious.  Google their name to see what shows up.  Also, if they list a webpage on their job board (ex: yahoo jobs, monster.com…) and you can’t find it when you Google it (even if the link itself works)- there’s a big red flag.

I have found a great little site that has helped me figure out who’s worth my time: www.ripoffreport.com

Happy hunting!
