Zero Trust. That’s what we need to use as a personal defense system against unfamiliar or strange communications, or from people we did not vet before they communicate with us.
We hope you’ll join the cast of “The Job Scam Report” on Saturday, Feb. 28, 10 am CST - 11 am EST for our LinkedIn Livestream. This is a special WEEKEND edition, so you can sign up for a show notification.
In this episode, the cast, with Ashley Price-Horton, Jay Jones, and Russell Irby, are discussing our observations with the job scam tactics becoming more realistic, polished, and seamlessly delivered. It might be the most important episode, given how accessible the technology for creating illusions is, including to parasites who plot to steal our personal information.
Here are highlights of our discussion:
* We can’t afford to trust what we see and hear.
* AI-generated deepfake videos are hard to detect.
* Companies and job seekers are falling for “bait and wait.”
* Bantering with parasites can be a trap to clone your voice.
* Successful hiring and job searching now absolutely demands zero-trust verification tactics.
* AI interview deepfakes make the “John Cena Test” obsolete.
* Taking time to vet recruiters is a MUST. Allow time before responding to a (fake) recruiter’s inquiry.

If job searching feels broken, that’s because it is.
Most people are fighting over the same handful of posted roles…while the real opportunities circulate quietly through networks, referrals, and direct sourcing.
Job Search 3.0 teaches you how to show up where recruiters are actually looking—before a job ever goes public.
If you’re ready to shift from chasing opportunities to attracting them, this is worth a look.
