The Danger of Job Scams – Please read

An important message for our wonderful friends & fans, PLEASE be very watchful & careful when applying for jobs. There  was a tragic incident in Cape Town last week when a lady applied for a position posted on a website (not ours), supposedly at a well-known retailer and when she arrived at her destination (it is unknown if it was for an interview or to work) she was ganged-raped and then murdered!

Some tips to ensure your safety:

You will never get a call to say that you must start work immediately if you have not been for a prior interview

Do not meet someone in a remote spot or after hours

If the interview is genuine, you should meet at a business address or if they are a small company, then perhaps meet in a public place (like a coffee shop)

If you are unsure of the address, perhaps take a trip beforehand with a companion to get a better idea of where you are meeting

When you are contacted for an interview, try to gather as much information as you can about the company and the interviewer – a landline no., a physical address, a company website, the interviewers position in the company. This way you will be able to contact the company and verify the information

Do not give your personal details before you are certain that it is a genuine vacancy.

At Just the Job we strive to ensure that only genuine adverts are posted on our website and we will continue to be watchful on your behalf.  Please feel free to contact us if you are uncertain or need any assistance.
