Scammers are increasingly targeting early-career professionals, and fake job postings, fraudulent recruiters, and false opportunities are becoming more difficult to identify. These scams appear on platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, and other popular job boards.

As a master's student, you may feel pressure to find a job or internship quickly. Scammers take advantage of this. Knowing how to recognize a job search scam can protect your personal information, your money, and your time.
