Protect your personal information or any other personal details by never providing social security, credit card or bank account numbers to prospective employers.

This page states the Terms of Use ("Terms") under which you ("You") may use the JobsMiner Sites and the JobsMiner Services (each as defined below). These Terms include the JobsMiner Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

The JobsMiner Sites are defined as any Web sites under JobsMiner’s control, whether partial or otherwise (including, without limitation, JobsMiner.com and the Web site from which these terms of use were accessed from). The JobsMiner Sites include a variety of features and services, including an on-line service to post and search employment opportunities (“JobsMiner Services”). The JobsMiner Sites also include on-line communities designed to facilitate valuable professional and personal networking among users of the JobsMiner Sites (“Users”) based on common experiences and interests (“JobsMiner Communities”). The JobsMiner Sites also allow Users to create individual profiles, which may include personal information (”Profiles”), and to make these Profiles, or aspects thereof, public.

JobsMiner may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version to this Web page. You should visit this page periodically to review the most current Terms because they are binding on You.

You must be 13 years of age or older to visit or use any JobsMiner Site in any manner, and, if under the age of 18 or the age of majority as that is defined in Your jurisdiction, must use any JobsMiner Site under the supervision of a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult.
