Hi, job seekers! It's timely for us to share with you again some tips on making your online job search a safer experience.
In the first place, please be careful of scam job advertisements. They appear occasionally on all job
sites, posted by dishonest people out to make quick money from
unsuspecting job seekers. While we at JobStreet.com always try to ensure that
the job advertisements on our site are for real job opportunities, such
scam advertisements do sometimes get posted. However, we can assure you that when we see such scams
that violate our Advertisement Policy we quickly remove them.
But job seekers should also be careful themselves. In particular, giveaway job advertisement scams are those that:
- Ask you to pay money before processing your application or training you;
- Invite you to interviews that turn out to be multi-level marketing or pyramid selling schemes;
- Misuse your resume information to sell you products (such as insurance, etc) or make offers not connected to the job advertised;
- Are generally untrue, dubious or misleading (e.g. misleading job title, job description or company description); or
- Use web-based public email addresses instead of company-owned email addresses.
In addition to the above, we also want you to know that
JobStreet.com does not send emails that require you to download and/or
install any software, tool or utility.
Last but not least, be very careful about people asking for your
JobStreet.com membership username and password. Never give such informayour Login details away, even if the
request appears to come from an email with a JobStreet.com address. Our staff
do not ask passwords from our members.
You can play a role to help us investigate any possible email or advertisement abuses on our website by informing us through any of these channels:
- Make a report by clicking on the "Report Advertisement" link inside the advertisement, or
- Email us at policy@jobstreet.com, giving us the Company Name and Position Title.
While we will try to take appropriate action whenever possible, we cannot be liable for any action by scammers or employers that violate our terms of use.
