I manage a Facebook page @hoteljobsbyvoyagecreating where I post job openings for hospitality. Since the page has been created I have received many messages requesting me to find them jobs abroad.I am sharing two experiences below :
Experience 1: I approached three candidates telling them that I have a job opening in India at various locations and asked them to send the resumes if interested. I did receive the Resumes. After conducting the Interview I told them that there would be registration charge of 2000 INR.
I was glad that none of them came back to me.
Experience 2: I approached another three candidates telling them that I have a job opening in Dubai but they need to pay 50,000 INR as the registration fee. Without any question, they were ready to pay.
Being ambitious is good, but you need to understand the fact that there are many fake job offers floating in the market.
Do not fall for such offers. Recognize a job scam.
1) No one will ever ask money to hire you. Companies pay salaries to their employees, they do not ask money. Reputed companies pay consultancy fee to consultants. Remember the golden rule do not pay.
2) Research on your own. Visit website. Compare the email ids and contact numbers.
3) No company will offer you job using Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail etc email ids. Every reputed company has their own corporate ids. Also, check the spellings if received an email from id that seems company's corporate email id. Sometime scammer create email ids looking similar to those of the company, with a small spelling difference.
4) The email is unprofessionally written.
5) Offers are made without interview. It is a scam. Every company interviews it's candidates before hiring.
6) Scam emails do not have Landline number many times. They add mobile number instead.
Read the below offer letter that I have received on my Gmail id.
