<strong>Be cautious of fraudulent or unsafe opportunities.</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The Career Development Center strives to verify each employer and position posted to Handshake to ensure they are genuine. However, fraudulent postings do sometimes make it through. Scammers may also contact students directly through email, phone or via reputable sites like LinkedIn. They may reference OSU, the Career Development Center or other university programs to make their posting seem legitimate. Protect yourself by following these tips:</p>
