When searching for jobs online, it's important to be aware of some key factors to avoid wasting your time on scams and fraudulent job postings. It's always a good idea to do some research on a company or employer before applying for a job posting to ensure its legitimacy. Be wary of providing personal information until you have confirmed the employer's identity. A legitimate job offer will not ask you to purchase materials or equipment before starting. Watch out for job postings that require you to sign up for online marketplaces or platforms before being considered for a job, as these are often signs of a fraudulent opportunity. If an employer insists on conducting an interview through text or email, it may be a scam. If you're unsure whether the job posting is real or not, call the company to verify it. Beware of job postings that ask you to use your personal banking information for any reason. Before applying for any job, research the company's health and safety policies to ensure that it prioritizes employee wellbeing and risk management.
