Tip Of The Day: Beware Of Training Courses Promising Jobs

You've heard it before: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." With unemployment numbers at an all time high, training courses promising job placement can be alluring. I've received tons of complaints from people who've responded to ads in their local paper looking to employ people as security guards.

Of course, companies like these charge pricey upfront fees for job training. And while you may think a steady job is just around the corner, don't be fooled! More likely than not, you'll be out a chunk of change with no job to show for it. Read your paperwork! If the paperwork you signed with a particular training company doesn't explicity state you'll be given permanent employment, don't expect a job.

So remember, if it's not in the contract, it's not a guarantee... regardless of what they're telling you to your face.
