I'd never send my Resume to something that looked like this. It doesn't even make sense.

Wisen up Employers. This looks like a scam!

  • If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

  • Resumes tend to have a lot of personal information - addresses, phone numbers, past employers, etc.

    Me thinks someone is phishing for some of that identity theft action.

  • These are actually posted here on the SE Missourian website though. That's a concern to me because it would appear to be more legit. I believe them to be scams as well.
