JobnabReviews 80

I was totally shocked to recieve an text message as a job offer, Who does that? I knew right away that this was a Scam My Message reads: Hi, I'm Anne, based on your resume you match a job i'm filling. If you register at jobnab.com we can discuss the details if you're interested. YEAH RIGHT- first of all she texted me, I never heard of potential jobs texting, Secondly, I looked the number up and it's unlisted/ I can't think of one company that has an unlisted number( JUDGE FOR YOURSELF, BUT IF YOU ASK ME-THIS HAS SCAM WRITTEN ALL OVER IT)

This supposed job site found me thru a job posting on craigslist. A fake company called Sterling Placement had a job posting. I completed the info and they said I could get phone interview right now, so I called thinking it was for a job and got side swiped with this "wanna go back to school" crap. Now my cell phone rings off the hook with these scammers and I am getting bombarded with emails. So watch out for Sterling Placement on Craigslist they give info to those jobnab jerkoffs!

So I recieved this text telling me "I'm ANNE and based on your resume you match a position that I am filling"... As I need a job, I went along with it didn't recieve a response to my replies... She said register@ job nab I thought what the ****! So I did in a desperate situation that I am in there was an offer there to be a job scout there was a proccess to set up an interview for a time and date! I don't think that I will follow through with it though after reading the commentary! OH yes contacting you via text is soooooo unproffessional and down right questionable to say the least! There are a lot of tactics to prey on job seekers now so I will do my home work hope that you do also! Good Luck and happy hunting!

Unfortunately, with this economy businesses like Jobnab are trying to take advantage of people in desperate need of work. It's setup really good to get your attention by getting text, emails and a call but in reality it is all a scam. There are more recruiters now then ever before and they are willing to take your money and make it seem legal. I think websites like this who charge should be put down by the feds... What next? It just seems like it's getting worse...

To my surprise, JobNab still hasn't deleted my account since my request on 8/3/10. I'm still receiving emails. One email was from "John Wilkens" saying that I haven't completed the registration process and they needed me to follow a link to answer some more questions so that they may accurately match me with the most relevant open positions. There was also an email from "Greg Klein" telling me that "they" have reviewed my experience and think I will be the perfect fit for this architectural position, which I have no clue about. It says the email is from career-network.com, which I have never applied or sign up for; and it's in Orland, FL. So I assumed that this has something to do with JobNab. I requested for JobNab to delete my account again today. Hope they get it right this time. Oh gosh, another long wait again.

Same schtick here- Cell text, entry form, call the number.

Young lady answered quickly.
School questions.
Affirmed a 3 day waiting period for listings in my zip.

I read above, where someone was asked for -and provided- a #SSN. THAT is a red flag. Since that did not happen to me, I won't get all hyper-negative-angry here. No point. Fact is, perhaps they're being creative with this marketing attempt. Better than an email spam I suppose, and if I never hear from them again, probably harmless. Lame-O insurance companies and even worse, nowhere tiny so-called "colleges" and tech schools are laughable if nothing else. Late night TV DeVry... Phoenix... just laugh and keep your spirits up, all.:-) tinyurl.com/marcsguitar

Thanks for all your comments about this site. I was thinking about trying to be a job scout with jobnab but I got very, very nervous at the idea of sending the company a W9 with my social security number on it. This may or may not be a legitimate company but from everything I have read here they are, at the least, extremely unprofessional. I know I was pretty annoyed at going on a training call with them, using my cell phone minutes and having to stay on hold for 15 minutes before the so called training started. Just today, I tried to email one of their managers and was sent a message that there is a "delay" in getting the message to the recipient. So, legitimate company, maybe... poorly run, definitely.

To be honest I just got off the initial phone call for the position of Job Scout. I was not impressed. It seems as if they are definitely running a scam. Some recorded guy named Rob told us all about the company, I did not hear anyone else on the phone call. Rob did not allow us to ask any questions about the company. As if the vague information that is recorded throughout their website is enough information for a person to just want to jump in and work for their company with no benefits in sight. It was actually quite disconcerting. I do not have a good feeling about this website or the services that they provide. I would advise you to run! If it sounds too good to be true it is too good to be true! Trust me when I say it is not worth it. I know that times are hard but don't be taken advantage of, just because you want some income. Don't let the pictures fool you... Just keep searching and you will be sure to find a LEGITIMATE job that will earn you LEGITIMATE money! Don't let them get you!

jobnab.com /aka career-network.com/aka skilledlaborcarees.com is totally designed to get you back in school, not find a job. Any company that contacts you by texting is suspicious, at the least. They do this so you have no way of contacting them, calling the number from the text gets your placed on hold until you give up. Registering at jobnab will get you endless email from schools. I registered just to see what would happen (using a new email account), checked the attending school now and got booted from the site. The new account still gets spam mail and I cannot log back in and stop it. If any one thinks otherwise, then just try what I did. I get 4 to 5 emails a day for the last 2 weeks and none -nada-zip have been job offers.

Look to be honest there are many scams out there but there are few that are free and also have a free education connection. The conection that is given is if you want the service you do not have to take it. However if you are not working just a note if you are unemployed and getting a government check you will get more financial aid and can qualify for gov. Grants, did all you education avoiders know that. Today companies can be picky and the only ones offered a job are people with degrees or in the process of getting one. All the people who hate this site are the people who are not working and not doing anything to help themselves. So good do not go back to get a degree this will just help me to get a job faster.

Hi all,

Just thought I should share this, since I live in Orlando. I don't know if any of you have Googled the address that shows up on your text messages from "Ann(e)", but I did, and I found this to be very interesting. The address belongs to Florida Website Design, 7635 Ashley Park Court, Suite 503, Orlando, FL *******.
*******107

The initial search resulted in this:

Hours: 8-7pm M-F EST

Credit Card, Money Order, Cashiers Check, Cash, Personal Check, Paypal

Florida Website Design is a full-service, Orlando-area Web Design and Internet Marketing company with more than 8 years of experience transforming business strategy into tailored internet solutions that meet your company's marketing needs now and in the future.

Then I searched further, and found Florida Website Design's website address: http://www.flsites.com.

So this explains why job seekers are being told not to contact JobNab directly. They give a tollfree number because they know that the phone calls will be going to this company and their scam will be discovered! I will physically visit the building next and see what's actually there, and report back. This is not the way to do business, by taking advantage of those of us who are out of work and seriously seeking jobs!

I don't have my resume posted on any site AT ALL. The only job advertisements I have ever responded to have been through Craig's List for specific positions. Today, I received a spam text message telling me to sign up for this new site to see available positions. I NEVER opted in for text messages from anyone, and this company is very lucky that I have unlimited texting or I would have been ripping them a new one.

And Chad, I don't care what pre-packaged excuse you have for your company. I know you're their PR person, but this is absolutely ridiculous and your justifications for your company violating my privacy are outrageous. It's sickening that this economy has brought out the gutter scum to rip off people just trying to put food on the table.

I was taking up for this site a lot at first, but now I'm not sure. I started my orientation and training as a job scout for the company last week. I haven't been able to start my new updated training this week that they have because they are redoing the site.

I still have a job finder profile on the site so i've also been logging in to that section. I logged in today and saw a job post that I was interested in. As I scrolled down I saw that I had to PURCHASE THE JOB FOR 89 CENTS?! I don't understand why I would have to PAY to APPLY FOR A JOB? That is what really threw me off about JobNab.com.

Could someone please explain to me why I would have to PAY to apply for a job listed on this site or any other site? And if I'm paying is it guaranteed that I will get the position?
