The Voice of Job Seekers
Whether you would want to emulate or avoid strategies in these job search and career stories, they’re worth tracking and watching developments as they happen. I’ve written about some recently, and others I am watching from different sources. There are no promises of how I’ll keep up with these angles, but they’re exciting, and you should know about them.
#JobFishing
If you’re not familiar with the term “job fished” or “job fishing,” it is “catfished” but with jobs. Scammers will portray well-known brands to lure victims away from employment and solicit money from them or give private data from them. Many victims have left legitimate jobs to onboard these seemingly actual companies, see scams coming and stop pursuing them immediately.
I’ve advocated for years to research companies deeply, ask questions to and about the company and its employees, and if there is doubt, walk away. Scammers pretending to be employers have one goal to either get your money or private data.
Overemployment
To be clear, we’re not talking about two jobs to survive. Overemployed workers are tech or six-figure workers (many are tech) who make more than $250,000f yearly.
Three things I learned about over employment after watching several videos:
-
Make sure you don’t intermingle computer and software usage between companies.
-
My suggestion (not mentioned in the video) is to obtain two IP addresses dedicated to each company. There will likely be a little pricey. It would make things a little easier for required uploads.
-
Some companies have a “moonlighting” clause. More companies will be more conscious in the future. Make sure you understand each company’s policies before engaging them.
Normalizing the boomerang employees
It’s also a reminder to employees to have options as they leave companies, and the best way to remain employed is to keep former employers close as an additional option for your job search. Please read the article. Let me know if these trends are recognized and resonate with you.
