Helpful tips to follow:
• Don’t pay a fee upfront. Most legitimate employment agencies don’t charge unless they actually succeed in getting you a job, and often it’s the new employer who pays.
• Be cautious about emails offering help
getting a job. Many unsolicited emails are fraudulent.

Helpful tips to follow:
• Know exactly what services are being offered. The company may only provide advice or help writing a resume.
• Document all promises. Print out the information so you can prove what you were promised.

Helpful tips to follow:• Be wary of promises to help get you a
government job. If a test is required, the government usually conducts it.
• Money-back guarantees may not be worth the
paper they’re written on. Fraudulent employment services will use an endless string of excuses for why you’re not entitled to a refund.
• Do your own research. Use the public library, newspapers, the Internet, and your state employment office.
