We hope that when you are looking for work, you have Labor Solutions in your corner lining up interviews for you, but we do understand that many people do perform job searches without the aid of a professional employment agency. However you choose to find your next position, we want you to be treated fairly and not taken advantage of. For that reason, we offer the following tips for avoiding fraudulent job offers.
Things to Be Aware Of
It’s the 21st century and classified ads are out! Besides signing up with a staffing service like Labor Solutions, online searches are the primary way that people now look for work. The internet makes it easy to do research on potential employers, and we encourage you to make use of it. Look up a company’s website and social media presence. If it seems outdated or poorly put together, that’s a bad sign. Even if the business isn’t geared towards operating online, a reputable company understands the value of a professional online presence these days.
Another way to utilize the power of the internet when researching a company is to look for reviews of the company – from customers as well as employees. Poor customer service, high turnover rates, and numerous unhappy employees registering complaints probably mean that it isn’t a company you really want to work for. You can also look the business up on the Better Business Bureau’s site to see if they have information on the company.
If a company’s online existence seems acceptable, you should continue to be vigilant throughout any ensuing interview process. Consider the behavior of the hiring manager – are they professional? Courteous? Well prepared for your meeting? The person conducting the interview should be able to provide you with a realistic job description and should not be speaking negatively about the company or employees.
Let Labor Solutions do the Screening for You
These are just a few of the fishy behaviors you need to be on the alert for. When you work with Labor Solutions, you don’t have to worry about these issues. We’ll only send you to reputable companies in your area that value their workers.
