Fraudulent Job Postings
As you conduct your job search, please be aware that scams on the Internet include fraudulent job postings designed to draw an unsuspecting job searcher into disclosing confidential financial/personal information. If you have concerns about the legitimacy of an announcement, please bring it to the attention of the OCA staff.
