AVOIDING JOB TRAPS

AVOIDING JOB TRAPS

·         Check twice if the job offer of a company is “too good to believe” as it may be just that.

·         Do not jump to an offer only because brand names are associated to it.

·         Make sure that the job opening of the company is legitimate, and mentions the working hours.

·         Do a thorough research about the authenticity of the company offering you the job.

·         Do not disclose personal or family details, or sensitive information like your bank account number, credit card number, etc.

·         If the company asks you to buy something, like training materials, you should realize that it is a pyramid or ponzi scheme and not an actual job offer.

·         Be warned if job offers require you to pay an advance or a security deposit to get the post.

·         Make sure that the job portal where you are posting your resume is hacker-proof and has a good reputation in the market.

·         Fraudulent job sites squeeze out your money, or of your parents, besides wasting your time.

·         Be cautious when one is taking up lucrative job offers, especially if they are overseas.

·         Get it confirmed from the respective consulate, and then check whether it is trustworthy.

·         Also, make sure that your qualifications match the job profile being offered.

So, it is mostly upon us to pick up the right job.
