Job Hunting Tip #3. Work Opportunity Tax Credit.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit is a federal tax credit providing incentives to employers for hiring groups facing high rates of unemployment, such as veterans, youths and others. So, if you are applying for a job and they ask you questions about if you are currently on food stamps, receiving welfare, are unemployed or are a veteran, then answer accurately. An employer will receive a tax credit if they hire someone within this criteria. In other words, they save money by hiring you.

Job Hunting Tip #9. Craigslist job hunting scams.

Craigslist is a convenient way for some individuals to post jobs. It is cost effective to the employer and reaches a lot of people. Posting your job at your local WorkSource can be just as effective, but more secure. When using Craigslist be wary of job scams. For example, the same job is posted week after week after week. You send them your resume and other applicable documents. They don't respond, but now they have your personal info along with information of your references. These fake job postings are used by data miners to harvest information. This will later be sold in quantity to spam producers and identity thieves.

Job Hunting Tip #30. Being unemployed can be a full-time job

Unemployment can make a hard worker soft. It can be tempting to just make a token job search effort without any real job prospects and just collect your unemployment benefits. Others might decide they want to wait for that perfect job to come along. Might be wishful thinking in this area. The best response to becoming unemployed is to fight back and get back to work. Some employers question why someone is unemployed for an extended time. They might think there is some undesirable quality in your background. Employers like to hire people who are working. This gives them someone convenient to ask about you. It also shows your work ethic by accepting a job that may not be exactly suitable for you. For most of us, it will not be easy getting back to work. It will take up a lot of your time. Looking for work can be almost like a full-time job.

Ok, that's all for now. Have a good one.
