WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Learning objectives
- Verify the opportunity before sending money or sensitive data.
The useful habit
Check the employer, recruitment channel and requested action. Requests for upfront payment, sensitive documents too early or installing unusual software deserve independent verification.
Apply it
A recruiter offers a role without an interview but asks for an equipment fee. Confirm the opening through the employer’s real recruitment channel.
