POSSIBLE ******** ADVERTISING ON CAREER JUNCTION'S WEBSITE

<p>I have app**** for many positions on Career Junction's site, jobs that were sent to me via an e-mail from Career Junction. I have my on-line CV and cover letter which I use to apply yet I still receive e-mails from the so called "agencies" that "advertised" the jobs requesting me to FAX my CV, a photo, a copy of my ID (normally not recommended and stupid to do) and copies of all of my qualifications to a 086 number. I am sure that the so called "agencies" are not legit and are getting a kick-back or some money back from the 086 FAX number thereby making themselves a nice little income built on other people's expenses. I have a twelve page CV which includes a photo. If I send only that, it will cost me around R70.00 to R100.00. Take it that I send about 4 to 5 or more applications a day and taking into account that I am unemployed, where am I to find the money to pay to send all of these faxes. Please don't tell me that there are such naive (perhaps stupid) people that will send these faxes and thereby draining their own finances to enrich some ********* - that is what they are - *********. What is the poins of having an on-line CV which you apply with directly or can e-mail. Why then should you fax all of your docoments and your CV ... and worst of all, your ID????? Can someone answer that to me. The other thing is that the jobs being sent to me appears to be legit, have nice salaries and seems to match me perfectly. They do all though have very similar job titles and salaries which makes one suspicious already. I hope someone replies to this comment of mine. Titles of jobs I receive are mostly "Admin Assistant".</p>
