Jobnab

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.

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.

Can I give ZERO stars to these infamous and unprofessional E-terrorists?
They ARE crooks. They managed to access my name on a very major curriculum and database Web Site, now under my name and e-mail they beg me to access their Web Site just by giving out my information- I mean the complement. Do NOT post your resume, anything on these hiring Web Sites - this one based in NY And Maynard (cannot say the name of the Web Site.), or post your resume, NOT your full name and a e-mail. Believe me, they are kind of E- terrorists, their aim is to traffic your information, parasiting your existence, exposing you to ID theft by proxy. If you want a job, contact companies directly! Jobnab wants to NAB YOU.- poor soul in despair for a job.

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.

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.

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.

I had a similar experience to other posters. I found JobNab on Facebook last night and set up an appointment for a phone interview at 8:30 this morning. Upon waking, I had a text reminding me of the appointment. I called at 8:30 and got a recording stating that normal business hours were 9-7. I stayed on hold for 10 min or so, thinking that no small company is perfect and that they may have overlooked changing their voicemail message. No one picked up. I tried again at 9am and the same thing happened. I can now no longer reach either the site or the Facebook app. I agree with the poster who sais the site could be legitimate but they could be in over their heads. I am giving up on JobNab for now.

Same schtick here- Cell text, entry form, call the number.

Young lady answered quickly.
School questions.
Affirmed a 3 day waiting period for listings in my zip.

I read above, where someone was asked for -and provided- a #SSN. THAT is a red flag. Since that did not happen to me, I won't get all hyper-negative-angry here. No point. Fact is, perhaps they're being creative with this marketing attempt. Better than an email spam I suppose, and if I never hear from them again, probably harmless. Lame-O insurance companies and even worse, nowhere tiny so-called "colleges" and tech schools are laughable if nothing else. Late night TV DeVry... Phoenix... just laugh and keep your spirits up, all.:-) tinyurl.com/marcsguitar

Like everyone else, i received a text message (totatally unprofessional) to register at job. Nab etc.
It is not fair for hundreds of people applying and seeking jobs to have phishing, scammers preying on people trying to find a job. Supposely Deb is texting me for a position she is filling in my area.?/ hmmm She text from this number *******890.

A real potential interested company would leave you a voice message to express interest in the resume or call to schedule a legit time to talk. I'm disgusted they have my resume.

Be careful and good luck to all who are job searching.
