BEWARE of JOB SCAMS!
We have gotten a few calls from students who received texts from an "employer" claiming that the student was recommended to them by WT. Know that we will NOT give out your phone number, nor is it available to employers in Handshake unless you expressly give it to someone there. Things to look for in an unsolicited job offer. Contact the University Police Department if you are a victim of a job scam at (806) 651-2300.
