Red Flags to Watch For

• Requests for Money: Legitimate employers never ask for payment
• Too Good to Be True: Extremely high salaries for minimal work
• Vague Job Descriptions: Lack of specific duties or requirements

• Pressure Tactics: Urgency to accept without proper interview process

Safe Job Search Practices

1. Research the company before applying
2. Verify job postings on the company's official website
3. Never share financial information during the application process
4. Use a professional email, not your personal one
5. Meet in public places for in-person interviews
6. Trust your instincts - if something feels wrong, it probably is

What Legitimate Employers Will NOT Do

• Ask you to pay for training, equipment, or background checks

• Offer a job without an interview
• Communicate only through messaging apps
