    Having never applied for a job online I didn’t know a lot of this about your information. However, most of us buy things online and know to use common sense. But your article really helped to focus that with some additional things we can do.

    Like the layout and the pictures, very easy to read and follow the logic of the post. Landed nicely on WA…well done.

    There are lots of scams out there. I know that there are lots of network marketing companies out there that mislead people into thinking that they are applying for a job. Then they convince them to invest lots of money to get started with the promise that they will get rich.

    I’m glad there are legit companies out there like WA who really want to help people.

    Nice article. Thanks.
