The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, sends journalists to speak to both sides of stories, avoids paywalls and relies on donations to finance reporting. Social media site LinkedIn warned users about a CV-writing scam affecting job hunters; 37 per cent of reported job scams on the platform involve CV offers that give poor or misleading results and often use freely available AI tools. CV-writing fraudsters are twice as likely to ask members to take conversations off-platform, increasing personal information risk. Hiring typically rises 44 per cent in September while openings per applicant are half compared with 2022, intensifying competition.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
Social media site LinkedIn has warned users about a scam that many job hunters are falling foul of online. The professional networking site revealed that over a third (37 per cent) of job scams reported on the platform globally now involve offers to write or improve CVs, which give poor quality or misleading results and often use artificial intelligence tools that are available at no cost.
