If you receive any communication from an employer or recruiter that you feel is suspicious or potentially fraudulent, do not continue interacting with the employer or recruiter and do not provide any personal information and DO NOT APPLY.
Instead, forward the communication(s) to [email protected] so we can share them with our IT Security unit. Inform The Career Center about the activity immediately and we will take appropriate action. If you are unsure about an employer or recruiter, contact The Career Center at (973) 761-9355.
