I'm wanting to know what people think is better. Kaiser or ucla health for working as an admin staff. Ucla seems to have good pay from what I see on the job descriptions but kaiser only shows pay grade. Ucla has pension and a raise it seems every year. But I was alao told kaiser offers a dollar each year as a raise. I want a place I can grown and stsy Long term. Any one have any insight on kaiser and what they offered.UCLA Health Kaiser Permanente

The scammers really are putting time and effort in now! Have run into a couple scam interviews this past year. I feel like I need to keep more up to date on scam trends than job market ones this year. Keep yourself safe out there and good for you not giving away too much, it’s awful what those people do.
Same!! Are scammers just trying to steal identities and personal data though? Because I’m looking for work obviously I’m broke! No money for them to steal. Can someone help me out here? Scammers want what and use it how?
Wow, that's crazy to hear about. Very disappointing, but at least you didn't give away too much personal information. Did anything in particular stand out that made you know it was a scam? Or did you not realize until after? I need to be more savvy when applying for jobs, so any insight on what to look out for is much appreciated.
Pay close attention to the Email address of where it is coming from. That was how I had figured it was a Scammer!! It had the CEO's name but the Email address was Manager@Gmail. com. No one in a company is going to send you something from a random Email address.
I am sorry to hear this. This truly makes it had to vet out real opportunities. What did they ask during the process that made you question the validity?
Best practices to protect yourself from job scams:
---Never provide payment as part of the application process. Legitimate companies should not require fees, transfers, gift cards, checks or the wiring of funds as a condition of the application process.
---Be wary of job postings or messages that include misspellings and grammatical errors.
---Verify information from the potential employer to confirm their identity. Examples include company email address, phone number, or social media handles. Check this against the information on the company’s official website or using a search engine. A real employer will have a real company email address.
---If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Fraudulent jobs will often promise outsized rewards for little work to entice victims, such as signing bonuses and advances.
If you’ve been a victim of a scam, report it to your local law enforcement.
How would one spot the scammers when looking at a job description?
When they reach out to you and ask you to follow a link and register, or pay a fee then they will tell you more about the job... Just go by the old adage, if it seems to good to be true...it is!
Thanks for the warning! 👍🏻
Right, I also had a similar experience. Job was perfect!
I don’t know if I’m super jaded or just old school, but I don’t reply to any one who reaches out to me (text, email, LinkedIn or otherwise) that I didn’t apply for directly from a company’s website. I may have found the job posting on LinkedIn, but I always apply directly on the company’s website. I know it’s hard to think of passing up an opportunity when you need a job, but someone who reaches out to you without you directly applying to a company’s website (not the LinkedIn “link to company” or “apply” feature”)!should be viewed as highly suspect.
