  Appreciate the links, Pete. I will look at those.

  Now I will append my original question to include Job Hunting Advice ...without getting scammed?

  Spent a couple of hours today checking out c a r e dot com, setting up a profile... before long my skepdar started pinging me. So I started doing research (should've done that first). Ended up deleting it.

  I'm sure it's a legitimate service, but there are way to many 'buyer beware' and 'watch for scammers' reviews for my comfort zone. Had the same experience with craigs list a few years ago. Perhaps pareto's principle is at play (20 being legit), but all the online scammers preying on vulnerable people looking for a job makes this process just so much harder.

  I know, I know. I'll go read the 'Positive Thinking for Job Hunters' article first... :)

  Beth Sarim, I suppose "because I really need a job" is never a good answer. ;)

  Thanks for the reminders.

  PlatinumFix There are just as many employers looking for intelligent workers as there are people who are seeking jobs. It's the nature of Capitalism. LOL

  I offer no advice in this arena. You never know where it could lead!

  Well, that's certainly true.

  But I think keeping a good sense of humor about me can take me far! :)

  I'll act as if ... some employer out there needs me. Let the treasure hunt begin! (says she after the third cup of coffee).
