Although some private companies are providing job opportunities in the recovery effort, job seekers should be aware that others may be exploiting the situation for personal gain. AWI and Workforce Florida Inc. encourage Floridians to:

· Be wary of providing personal information such as social security numbers to unknown entities.

· Recognize that there is no charge to apply for jobs through www.floridagulfrecoveryjobs.com, the state’s most reliable resource for response and recovery jobs.

· Be cautious about traveling to job sites in different counties unless a position has been offered and accepted. Residents in counties impacted by the oil spill are receiving priority in hiring for cleanup and response jobs in their local communities.

· Be wary of paying for training. Certified BP contractors do not charge for job training and in many cases pay the trainees.
