⚠️ How to Avoid Job Scams

Real employers do not charge you to get hired. Be careful if a “school” or “recruiter” asks you to pay for training, materials or a background check up front, or sends you a check and asks you to return part of it.

Always confirm the employer on its official website before sharing personal documents. Our guide on remote jobs with paid training explains the common scam signs in more detail.
