I'm concern how any job offers could be trusted with the growing amount of scammers pretending to be them.

I hear you. It's ridiculous. The scammers have gotten so sophisticated too, so it's even harder to know what's real and what isn't. One group went so far as to build an entire website that mimicked the real company they were trying to impersonate. It's insane.

I know that is out there that is why you should apply to store that you know and don't give out vital information. they can have that at the interview or when hired

It’s a legitimate concern. You have to be careful who give private information to. I would never give my Social Security number over the phone or any payment information over the phone. I would insist on going into the office to do that kind of paperwork.

The moment I posted on Linkdin that I was back in the job market a potential scammer DMed me. It was a woman claiming to be a recruter. She said she ran my resume through an analysis tool and that if I didn't modify it I'd never get anywhere. And it just so happened she knew someone who could help me.

just don't give them vital information and treat them as a scam unless you got to the company web site and apply

How can I get passed cynicism?

Having struggled with visa for the past ~6 years, I have become extremely cynical. I don’t trust real friendships anymore because friends turned into competitors or got too burdened to maintain the friendships.
I feel somewhat disgusted when my coworkers or managers tried to “build rapport” with me.
I understand the value of doing so, but my repulsion inevitably showed through my apparent desire to end small talks as soon as possible.

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked! And my direct manager agrees with him, but it was my third week. What to do? I feel like I’m going to say something crazy. Any advice?

Hi how much does a florist get paid per hour? Thanks

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
