Identifying Fake Jobs

HOW TO IDENTIFY A FAKE JOB AD

If the job offer requires you to pay something then this is certainly a scam.
A legitimate company will never extend an offer without a personal interview or interaction.
If you receive an offer for a job you did not apply for, it is fake.
Watch out for badly written emails and be suspicious of any emails not coming from an official company domain for example @gene.com or @roche.com.
Always check the website addresses to ensure that they are the official urls of the company you are looking at.
If you found a job on a job board or third-party channel, always check on official company channels (website & social media channels) to ensure that the job exists.
Listen to your instincts! If you suspect it to be a scam, it probably is.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF IF YOU SUSPECT A SCAM

Never give personal and confidential information.
Never pay for anything.
Ignore it.
Report it on the official company website.
