New Week, New Headlines: Job Scams Get Sophisticated & Jarring Truths: Women's Health in Prime Working Years

Send us Fan MailHappy Detention Day Friends! We recorded this on March 24th, which, is when the crew from The Breakfast Club headed to the library for detention. Little trivia for you.  And, March 24th is also the day, we jammed about the following topics: Topic 1: Job Scams Get Sophisticated Job scams are on the rise and getting more sophisticated.  From a CBS News Interview, LinkedIn's career expert, Catherine Fisher, we break down the cunning tactics of these digital-age con artists. From bogus UNICEF internships to AI-powered frauds on social media. It's nuts. We walk through the types of scams, how to spot these scams and the data you should never provide as a candidate (to, you know, not get scammed).  We also referenced the following: Consumer Affairs Article, Federal Trade CommissionShow Notes Updates- as of 4.15.24Additional notes from ID.me: We wanted to share that any attempt to hack ID.me is thwarted by ID.me's experienced security team, whose team members have numerous certifications in privacy and security program management. ID.me also meets the highest federal identity, privacy, and security for digital identity verification — including Identity Assurance Level (IAL) 2 and Authenticator Assurance Level (AAL) 2, as set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for all its identity verification pathways: self-service, video chat, and in-person. Online scams can trick people into creating an ID.me account with exposed information. ID.me encourages those who believe their ID.me account or personal information are compromised to notify us immediately so that the ID.me team can promptly address the issue.Show correction: In this episode we mistakenly referenced ID.me as a "government-run organization." We want to clarify that ID.me is not a government-run organization or agency. Rather, ID.me, a veteran-founded, veteran-operated digital identity company, is a trusted partner of 15 federal agencies and 40 state agencies across 30 states that offers streamlined login and identity verification.Topic 2: Jarring Truths About Women's Health in Prime Working Years A McKinsey Health Institute Report  rings the alarm on how women's health discrepancies are affecting those in their prime working years.  It's a stark reality that women's healthcare has been neglected, with research and investments  failing to address the unique needs of women. We unpack the impacts of this for  women  and what we all can do to help address this gap in the workplace. Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional advice.
