As another laid off victim due to our economy, I have been diligently using job search engines such as Monster & Career Builder, along with my state's employment website.

I happened upon Work Career Systems while searching jobs on job.com. I was excited to see multiple positions matching my qualifications & interests. In-depth job descriptions were included; although the hiring company was always a 'Confidential Client'.

Ok, nothing about this raised my eyebrows so far....

So, to apply, it states 'Confidential Company' has opted to have you complete their application on a site they specified.... So, you're taken to a site with Work Career Systems' name & the job position id number in the URL.

As I began filling out the 'Job Seeker Registration', I'm asked if I want schools to contact me for higher education; am I interested in owning my own business; would I like to be qualified for a free online course; am I a citizen, felon, what's my credit rating, & would I be interested in improving my credit score?

NOW, the next screen was my RED FLAG & I ABANDONED THE PROCESS!

They want 3 references (with at least 1 being professional (former or current employer), with dates worked, contact name & title, and their phone & email address.

NO WAY!! This is too early in the game to be giving out references.

I don't know about you, but my references are confidential. I only provide them to known (legitimate) employment agencies or, when a hiring company has considered me a serious candidate.

The only url I could find on Work Career Systems was http://workcareersystems.com/About.cfm.

This is my cautionary tale.
