The Fake Job Market Will Exploit Vulnerable Federal Workers
Update: 2025-09-02
Description
I hope you enjoyed your holiday if you were off. I hope you enjoy this minisode of the podcast.
Ashley, Jay, and I discuss how federal layoffs make workers vulnerable to job scams, the risks of sharing resume end dates, differences between federal and civilian resumes, and strategies for safer job searching.
We are continuing to see court orders turning over mass layoff mandates, including the Supreme Court’s ruling from this past July. We can expect to see more of this this fall.
Threat actors are using fake career services, such as resume writing services, to obtain personal information. Ashley explains why the end date is valuable to scammers.
