Jobnab

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.

When I set up my profile online I scheduled a time to call the office. I was told that this phone call was needed to finish setting up my profile and would take between 5-20 minutes. It took 20 minutes and I was on hold the whole time. I hung up, and I assure you, their office was not closed these were their normal business hours. Anyplace that would tell you to call at a certain time and then not answer is completely unproffesional. The whole time it felt like a scam too, I was contacted by this lady on Facebook whose profile looked fake, she was the one that pointed me toward this crap. I'm gonna ream her a new one.

Look to be honest there are many scams out there but there are few that are free and also have a free education connection. The conection that is given is if you want the service you do not have to take it. However if you are not working just a note if you are unemployed and getting a government check you will get more financial aid and can qualify for gov. Grants, did all you education avoiders know that. Today companies can be picky and the only ones offered a job are people with degrees or in the process of getting one. All the people who hate this site are the people who are not working and not doing anything to help themselves. So good do not go back to get a degree this will just help me to get a job faster.

I was taking up for this site a lot at first, but now I'm not sure. I started my orientation and training as a job scout for the company last week. I haven't been able to start my new updated training this week that they have because they are redoing the site.

I still have a job finder profile on the site so i've also been logging in to that section. I logged in today and saw a job post that I was interested in. As I scrolled down I saw that I had to PURCHASE THE JOB FOR 89 CENTS?! I don't understand why I would have to PAY to APPLY FOR A JOB? That is what really threw me off about JobNab.com.

Could someone please explain to me why I would have to PAY to apply for a job listed on this site or any other site? And if I'm paying is it guaranteed that I will get the position?

Hi all,

Just thought I should share this, since I live in Orlando. I don't know if any of you have Googled the address that shows up on your text messages from "Ann(e)", but I did, and I found this to be very interesting. The address belongs to Florida Website Design, 7635 Ashley Park Court, Suite 503, Orlando, FL *******.
*******107

The initial search resulted in this:

Hours: 8-7pm M-F EST

Credit Card, Money Order, Cashiers Check, Cash, Personal Check, Paypal

Florida Website Design is a full-service, Orlando-area Web Design and Internet Marketing company with more than 8 years of experience transforming business strategy into tailored internet solutions that meet your company's marketing needs now and in the future.

Then I searched further, and found Florida Website Design's website address: http://www.flsites.com.

So this explains why job seekers are being told not to contact JobNab directly. They give a tollfree number because they know that the phone calls will be going to this company and their scam will be discovered! I will physically visit the building next and see what's actually there, and report back. This is not the way to do business, by taking advantage of those of us who are out of work and seriously seeking jobs!

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.

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 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.

To my surprise, JobNab still hasn't deleted my account since my request on 8/3/10. I'm still receiving emails. One email was from "John Wilkens" saying that I haven't completed the registration process and they needed me to follow a link to answer some more questions so that they may accurately match me with the most relevant open positions. There was also an email from "Greg Klein" telling me that "they" have reviewed my experience and think I will be the perfect fit for this architectural position, which I have no clue about. It says the email is from career-network.com, which I have never applied or sign up for; and it's in Orland, FL. So I assumed that this has something to do with JobNab. I requested for JobNab to delete my account again today. Hope they get it right this time. Oh gosh, another long wait again.

This supposed job site found me thru a job posting on craigslist. A fake company called Sterling Placement had a job posting. I completed the info and they said I could get phone interview right now, so I called thinking it was for a job and got side swiped with this "wanna go back to school" crap. Now my cell phone rings off the hook with these scammers and I am getting bombarded with emails. So watch out for Sterling Placement on Craigslist they give info to those jobnab jerkoffs!
