From the department of D’oh – several SEO firms are trying to get their job listings placed in front of applicants by keyword stuffing their postings.

See this screenshot for examples of recent listings for SEO/SEM positions.

I know you have to mention that you are a search engine optimization firm in the job posting, but your keyword density should be below 10%.

This just encourages applicants who wish stuff keywords on client websites, not a good way to begin a career in online marketing.

SEO jobs are a hot position at the moment, but candidates should carefully screen job postings so they don’t end up in an unreputable shop.
