| Safe Job Seeking |
Following simple rules will help ensure your safety when looking for work and attending an interview, regardless of where you hear about the job.
Do's:
Do's:
- Tell a friend or relative where you are going and what time you expect to be back.
- Arrange to be collected from the interview if it is outside normal working hours.
- Find out as much as you can about the employer / company before the interview, especially if you have a few details from the advert or your contact
- Make sure the interview takes place at the employers premises or, if not, then in a public place.
- Keep the interviewer on subjects to do with the job rather than personal matters.
- Check the job advert with the Jobshop to make sure it is legitimate before you apply for a job, particularly if you find the job on-line from website such as GumTree.com
Dont's:
- Apply for a job which seems to offer too much money for very little work.
- Give your bank details to anyone until you are sure the job is legitimate.
- Agree to continue the interview over drinks or a meal, even if it seems to be going well
- Accept a lift home from the interviewer.
