Evaluating Job Authenticity
For every job opportunity you explore, you should make sure the organization or employer is legitimate and is offering an authentic opportunity. Be mindful of red flags, such as an employer initially requesting money for training materials. Carefully examine emails and other communication to look for spelling errors, which could identify illegitimate employers and scam job postings.
