Corporate citizenship
It's essential to be aware of some crucial factors when applying for jobs online to avoid job scams and fraudulent job postings. A legitimate employer will usually want to conduct an interview over the phone or in-person, rather than via email or text message. Be wary of any job listing that requires you to pay for a 'registration fee.' If you receive unsolicited emails or job offers that seem too good to be true, delete them and do not respond. Do your research on the company and the position to ensure that the job posting is legitimate. Your personal bank account information is private and should not be shared with potential employers through job postings. Contact the company to validate the job posting and ensure that it's a legitimate opportunity. Research the company's reviews and ratings on sites like Glassdoor or Indeed to gauge its reputation. It's important to research the company to ensure that it's a place where you can grow and develop your skills and career.
