Is this job a scam?
Hey I’ve recently connected with the CEO and founder of a startup in web design and web development and brand awareness. I asked him if he was hiring sales people and he did. He was hiring for sales people and having them paid on a commission based salary. I asked him if he could take me on an internship unpaid and he said ok. He asked me to send him his resume. So I went and created one but he replied me that it was okay if I didn’t have one. I’ll just had to send him a email talking about myself. He said that the introduction was pretty good and he hired me for the internship on the spot. I don’t know if this is a scam or not. I’ve checked on internet and nothing with scam appears. They have a instagram and a website. They look very professional on the website but the LinkedIn page said that they only had 3/4 employees. The thing that scared me the most is that I didnt have to do any interview. Should I trust this guy? He send me via email a template on how to do outreach. I don’t know could he steal my information(he has my email my name and surname and the profile picture from LinkedIn)

How can I land an internship without much on my resume and what can I do to improve my resume?
College seems to be approaching really quickly and I'm feeling the pressure to get an internship. Unfortunately, I don't really have much on my resume, just a few varsity sports, clubs and volunteering. I feel like the things on my resume aren't really unique and don't make me stand out.

What internships/job titles did you work in before landing a job as a Forensic Psychologist or in a Federal Agency?
Hi all, hope you are doing well! I am a second year Forensic Psychology student living in New Jersey. Although I hate to admit it, my career goals aren't exactly set, but I know that I want to either work as a Forensic Psychologist in the court system or in any Behavioral Analysis/Criminal Profiling role for a federal agency such as the FBI, CIA, DEA, etc. As a result, my question here today is for anyone who has either worked in one of the careers I'm interested in, is on the way there, or who is currently in this role; What internship or job titles have you held to get here? I am asking this as someone who is seriously struggling to find internships or jobs in my area that will genuinely add something to my area of interest. I have been looking for a little over a year, but am struggling to find something that is both in my area and that is relevant. At the moment, I have about 5 years of volunteer experience in a law enforcement program for youth (think along the lines of an Explorer Post) that I have worked at long enough to serve as a Board Member and a job as a Secretary for another Community-based program, so I am extremely eager to start getting involved in my actual career of interest. As always, I am eagerly awaiting any response and would appreciate any advice that can be given. Thank you so much!

What is the best way to stand out from the pack when new grad job searching?
Hello all, I am one semester away from graduating with a bachelor's in IT, and I have been struggling in the job-search sector for quite some time now in search of a full-time post-grad position. I have been using linked in premium and noticed how many people there are consistently applying for the same job at extremely high volumes the moment they're posted. Currently, I have been trying my best to hand-tailor every resume to its concurrent position, write a cover letter for each, as well as try to contact school alumni or hiring managers in the company to ask about and get more information about the job before applying. So far though, no callbacks or interviews. What are some other things I should be taking into consideration to better stand out against the large crowd in the IT sector currently? Thanks!

When adding an experience to a resume, is the organization supposed to be the one my project was for, or the one I received payments from, if they are not the same one?
Context: I am a college senior, and was initially hired for a research lab, and from the Research Lab (RL), a team worked for a project at a Company (C), and I was within that team. I already put RL on my resume as I did a different there prior to C’s project, do I put C in as an organization for a separate experience? Or is C’s project considered an experience within RL and not C? Basically, would I be wrong to list C as the organization because I was paid by RL, or would putting C make more sense because the project was for and benefited C? I received an offer elsewhere and don’t know if I represented myself properly anymore, I realized this issue when having an inconclusive conversation about resumes with my friends. All advice will be appreciated!
