Jobnab

Its a scam. Dont believe otherwise. Ive only posted my resume on careerbuilder.com and if someone tells me i have to register to find out the job THEY think id be great for its Bull $h*t. I'm not registering and giving these idiots my info. Did someone say that they get your phone number from craigs list?

What a scam. Just realized that they have been billing the credit card for months and havent gotten any emails from them. You can't even get a hold of them to access our account. The password retrieval function doesn't work and was probably never meant to. Jobnab is happy billing me for no service rendered. Learned a lesson about giving away any of my information to these creeps. One is better off writing a check every month. It is easier in the long run.

I received an e-mail from them early this morning saying pretty much the same thing everyone else here received. Some guy named Zach Conner supposedly read my resume and decided to contact me out of the blue with a tourism job? I never applied to any job in that market. Add to that the fact that they are based in Florida and I'm clear across the country. So they are still slinging the same old hash here folks. I called the Florida number and listened to their recorded message: many pauses, false starts, and errors. I will attempt to call them again and find out who they bought my info from: I'm seriously doubting they'll disclose their source, but one can try.

Almost got sucked into this thing. I received a text message saying there is a retail position available for me without saying what company or even what state. I went online to jobnab.com and it asked me to register. I started by inputting my name, email, zip code and phone number and the next page asked me for my home address. I think that is a bit T. M. I. For a recruiter. Anyways, don't give out too much information whomever it is unless you know for sure. Apply directly to the company if you can. Similar site which I haven't researched yet that may also be SCAMS: career-network.com.

I received a text this morning. I am currently signed-up with several job search engines but know that not all offers coming from online or otherwise is not reputable. I looked at the company's website looking for a fee since usually job scouts charge for their services. When I didn't see one listed I decided to research more. I'm glad I did since I found this sight and now I won't touch JobNab with a ten-foot-pole. Beware.

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...

I thought it sounded cool at first then when I got the email with the W9 attached wanting my information. A red flag came up! If we are supposed to be independent contractors then why do they want a W9. I did not feel comfortable filling out a W9 & sending it to a site that I have no idea who they really are. That is just asking for trouble. I sent an email to fox 17 news.

They are preying on people who need jobs to gain the funds from having us dial the 866 number, and then there is no answer after the initial greeting that... a Job Nab specialist will be right with you to match you to the correct jobs and... that the wait will not be long. Ha! I bet they charged me big bucks for every second I let the phone ring!

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.

I too got a text message indicating that a review of my resume showed a potential match. Since my field is specialized, i thought it was odd that someone would send me a text message and not include any information about the potential job. I responded to the text message, figuring no one would respond to my question. No response. Eight minutes of internet research suggested that the site is run by a guy who has been convicted for fraud and has been successfully sued for millions for his scams.
As the other reviews suggest, this guy is probably trying to get people to enroll in courses they don't need and can't afford. So if you want a sales pitch for some for-profit educational institution (as an aside, you should do some research on this phenomenon separately), go for it. If you're looking for a job, you might want to avoid it.

As a recruiter for a company you can imagine my surprise when I found out from applicants that my positions were posted on craigslist. While I do understand that is free advertising for my company I was disappointed to see words spelled wrong as well as positions posted that had already been filled. I would recommend that if you see a job posted contact that company listed rather than go through jobnab. It also seems a bit sneaky to me that they are posting my positions without ever contacting me but rather just copy pasting off my company website.

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.

This is a scam site. It is just an attempt to get your information - which they basically initially steal from you by creating a phony job to apply to thus getting your resume, phone, and email which are of value. Total scam. The opt out email address does not work nor does the text message number. Anne is an imaginary person. I'm blocking them with my cell carrier and filing a complaint with the Florida Atty General.

I also recently received a text message to my cell phone on 1/3/2011 informing me that "according to my resume, they had a job that they were filling, if I was interested, I should log onto Jobnab.com and register." When I got on my computer, I looked up this site and read the reviews for this site. I agree with someone else that made the comment here~~who is going to send you a job offer in the way of a text message~~if anything, they would leave a voice message. That would be the normal thing to do. I deleted the message from my cell phone.

I set up notification by CommunicationsJobs.net, which sent me this "job lead." I got as far as the call-for-an-appointment part and was suspicious by then. My wife/job-hunt adviser said it sounded like a scam. "Sterling Employment scam" came up as the SECOND recommendation on Google, and here I am. Thanks for all the info. God, this job searching is such a minefield.

I did not sign up for this website, and over the span of 24 hours I have been contacted through email, multiple phone calls, and two text messages from "Anne." I do not subscribe to unlimited text messaging--so every text costs me money. I find it extremely unprofessional to be receiving unsolicited text messages, as well as to be contacted through various means when I did not respond immediately to the initial contact (or third, fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh attempted contact). I feel like I am being stalked to register with this company/website. I did click the "Unsubscribe" on the email I received from JobNab, once I realized after the multiple phone calls that it was coming from this company/website. Overall the contact I have received from the company has seemed very much like a scam.

I called and spoke with a person who I thought was going to help with a job. Just asked a few questions and then switched to hard sales on returning back to school. They will email you a few jobs but they are the same jobs that all the other internet job sites have as well.

Somehow this website obtained my cell phone number which I have been careful not to include on resumes. I just received a text message requesting me to register on their website. This is very frustrating as I am trying to find a job, not waste my time with scams!

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.

My husband received a text message to log on to this site. Supposedly, they had received his application and they had matched a job according to his qualifications.

Well I googled this site and it so happens that many other people had received emails, and according to them its a scam. Just thought I'd share my experience with you.

I still don't know if its true or not, but I am not going to try it.

Thanks.

They ask for you social security number, which like a dummy I gave them, I called, they ask if I was interested in furthering my education and when I said no I have never heard from them. The girl I spoke with said they would be sending jobs to me in 3 days, it has been over a week and I have not heard a work from them, Just another scam. I have closed all my accounts just in case they are into identity theft.

I woke up wanting to find work like the rest of america to find myself making a call to a school sales person who can really car less if i work or not no real job listings all the same what a shame...

They texted me with a message to my phone and knew my name when I called.
My Iphone did not give me a location that corresponded with the area code of the phone number they provided. After bombarding me with personal questions they offered me schooling via their education department. Where is the JOB.
