Episode description

This week, Mark and Joe follow up on the counter-offer conversation with stories and insights from listeners. Then they pull back the curtain on a hidden truth in the job market: not all job postings are real. With 39% of companies admitting to publishing fake listings in the past year, it’s more than just misleading—it’s strategic data harvesting. From collecting your email and employment history to selling your info, some postings are just bait. Learn how to spot the signs of a fake job ad and protect yourself in a marketplace where data is currency and not every opportunity is what it seems.
