The mode of employment fraud also continues to be various forms. When before you become victims of fake vacancies, let's recognize the following characteristics of fake job vacancies!

The name and address of the office is not clear

Have you ever found an interview invitation from the company whose name is foreign or unclear and has doubts about its authenticity? You can search for the data with a type 'fiber + office name', through a Google search engine. You will detect discussions from people who have applied or worked there. You can also recognize fake company records on online forums such as Quora or Kaskus. Make sure you know the truth before arriving there or continuing the recruitment process.

Raising fees for candidates

Fake vacancies will generally ask job applicants to send some money for the recruitment process with various alibis. They argued that the money was used to buy plane tickets, rent a training place, pay for training, or administration. They also promised that if the money that had been transferred would be returned after you became employees.

For that, you need to be on guard when receiving an interview invitation like this. No responsibility, they let alone on behalf of big industries or SOEs. Remember, the original industry has never asked for anything from the interview to the offline letter. You are looking for a job to pay for, not to pay.

Requirements are very easy

Did you have job vacancies with unreasonable provisions? Without tests, receiving all levels of learning, no need for work experience, let alone being immediately accepted and being able to work tomorrow. This is one of the characteristics if the vacancy is fake.

Requesting personal data

Vacancies for fake jobs generally ask for data or information on individual candidates. For example, family card no (KK), ID card number, NPWP, or asking you to send selfie images with your ID card. Don't give it, remember that individual information is confidential, so you must be careful.

Calling it a fantastic honorarium

To attract the attention of potential victims, fake lockers generally include fantastic income and allowances on the work invitation sheet. Meanwhile, HRD wants to inform you after you pass the test session and interview via offering letter.

Salaries are very confidential information between industry and employees, so it's unethical to talk about if you are still a candidate. Not only that, with very easy requirements as well as an obscure job description, isn't it suspicious if a candidate can earn a huge amount of income? Until then, don't be easily fooled by the lure of a fraudster.

Bad writing on invitations

Generally fake job vacancies have unfavorable writing in their invitations. Fraudsters often use non-standard language, difficult sentences to understand, messy EYD, miscomposition, and industrial logos that are gepeng and appear a kind of edit. If you receive an interview invitation like this, don't get caught immediately. You must be vigilant and read the invitation carefully. There's nothing wrong if you ask your friends or other people about the invitation.
