What to look out for with fake job offers

Michaeldoods · Sunday at 3:35 PM

I’m looking for a new job right now but there are a ton of fake jobs these days.

Does anyone here have any tips for avoiding fake job offers? I just don’t want to waste my time with any of them.

Are you talking about those jobs all over LinkedIn focusing on AI and that

I wouldn't actually disregard them all, the same way we can't really say captchas were just for security

Gotta train things somehow, and if you're fucked you're fucked

Salary promised plus company established probably are the two things I can think of

If there's barely any online presence, the job description is extremely vague, or they start talking about money or asking for personal information too early, those are usually red flags. Trust your gut if something feels off.
