Timing matters: Seasonal employers often recruit before the busiest summer period. Check official employer career pages and contact legitimate local employers directly rather than relying on old seasonal postings.

Employer Listings on NJTGO

Basic employer listing: An eligible basic job listing may include the employer name, job title, Barnegat-area location, employment type, brief factual description and employer contact information. It does not include a direct employer website or application link.
Paid job advertising: Paid options may include a direct application or employer website link, expanded job description, logo, featured placement, employer profile, Local Business Spotlight or Townwide Placement.

Job Search Safety

Never Pay for a JobLegitimate employers do not require applicants to buy gift cards, send cryptocurrency, pay a recruiter to release wages or return part of an overpayment.
Watch for Fake ChecksDo not deposit a check and then purchase equipment or send money to a supposed vendor. A fraudulent check can appear to clear before being reversed.
Verify the EmployerConfirm the employer independently using an official website, published business phone number, government record or other reliable source.
Protect Personal InformationDo not provide bank-login credentials, PINs, verification codes or unnecessary identity documents early in the recruiting process.
Be Careful with Remote RecruitingUnexpected text-only interviews, urgent offers without normal screening and requests to communicate only through messaging apps can be warning signs.
Use Official Application ChannelsFor government, schools, hospitals and major employers, use the organization's official career portal rather than an unverified link sent by a stranger.
