Previous weekly website lists can be found here.

I’ve noticed recently that I’m having more and more problems with job scams as I continue my search.  I don’t like the idea that people take advantage of others that are getting desperate to find income. So this week’s theme is about avoiding those scams and recognizing fraud.

• Career Builder as a great page about job scams along with the reminder: “If it seems to good to be true,then it probably is”
• Check out your privacy rights and how to avoid having them infringed upon by job scammers.
• There’s nothing like examples to help you recognize the scams, see them here.
• Many of the scams involve work at home schemes, recognize them here
• And finally, the Federal Trade Commission has many resources about job and job hunting scams.

This week’s meditation

That’s it for this week. See what you like here. I’d love to hear from you about it. This week’s list is on a subject that I really think people can contribute to. Remember you can submit a website for the Sunday Readings on my How-To/Forum page.
