BE AWARE OF HIRING SCAMS!

Sadly, recruitment season seems to bring out the scammers who reach out to you appearing to be from legitimate companies with legitimate offers. When in doubt, please reach out to the Center for Career Success or Weatherhead Career Management Office and we will be more than happy to do research to help assure your offer is legitimate. You can always reach us at: careers@case.edu or wsom-cmo@case.edu. 

Identifying a scam job offer or posting is crucial to protecting yourself from fraud. Please review THIS DOCUMENT for red flags to watch out for and how to protect yourself!
