Leaves abound Article & Photo Provided By: Jean Gordon Retailers and shippers traditionally hire seasonal workers to fulfi ll the demands of holiday shoppers whether they are online or in person. These jobs are a great way to make extra money, sometimes with the possibility of turning into a long-term employment opportunity, however, they are not all what they seem. When looking for something part-time or to fi ll the gap until a better opportunity comes along, the Better Business Bureau has some suggestions to make the seasonal job hunt successful. Being proactive in fi nding the right opportunity is key, but so is watching out for a job that just seems too good to be true. Tips to avoid holiday job scams: • Employers will never ask for payment upfront for a job. Beware of businesses that ask applicants to pay for job supplies, application or training fees. These expenses are the responsibility of the employer ... and a big red fl ag that something is wrong. • Be wary of job offers that don't require an interview. Even during the peak hiring season, reputable companies prefer to talk to top job candidates before hiring them. If a job offer is presented without an interview (on the phone or in person) or is offered only via the internet, question the company's hiring practices and do a little more digging. • Be wary of big money for small jobs. If an employer is promising outrageously good wages for what seems like simple tasks such as reshipping packages, stuffi ng envelopes or answering phones, this is a red fl ag. These too-good-to-be-true offers are an attempt to steal your personal information from a fake job application, and can take a long time to recover from. • Never work for a company before they hire you. A legitimate company will not ask potential applicants to complete complex projects before making an offi cial offer. Before beginning any work, request an offer letter or confi rmation in writing of what the job entails, including an offi cial start date and compensation details.
