Common pitfalls and preventive measures in job hunting

Common pitfalls and preventive measures in job hunting

In the process of job hunting, many illegal enterprises make full use of job seekers' eagerness to find jobs and lack of due awareness of prevention, and set up various employment traps, which have brought great harm to society and employed people and hurt their rights and interests. Below I sorted out the common traps and preventive measures in the process of job hunting, hoping to help everyone!

Trap 1, informal channel recruitment.

Personnel recruitment is an important work of the unit and an important part of the corporate image. The general unit attaches great importance to this work and will send special personnel to recruit through formal channels. Don't give your resume and other materials to units without doormen.

Trap 2. Require applicants to pay "deposit" and other fees.

It is normal that the salary is not high when you just joined the job. On the contrary, if unfamiliar units offer high salaries, graduates should pay attention, because many lawless elements try to defraud graduates of so-called deposits, training fees, clothing fees and so on under the guise of high-tech treatment. Under the current employment situation, graduates should never believe that high income is easy at the beginning of their work, but dare to say no to the so-called deposit, training fee and clothing fee proposed by some units.

Trap 3. Ask the applicant to introduce others to join.

Some college students were involved in illegal pyramid schemes because they were cheated, and finally regretted it. Therefore, when a graduate meets a non-similar unit in the process of job hunting, he is very active to you and tells you the prospect of joining, so that you can introduce your friends and classmates to join, you should think about the old saying: there will be no pie in the sky.

Trap 4: Do not sign an employment agreement.

Employment agreement is the basis of transmitting graduates' personnel relations. If the employment agreement is not signed, the personnel relations such as graduates' personnel files and household registration cannot be transferred to their work units and cities. The handling of these relationships involves the immediate interests of graduates, such as handling social insurance, purchasing affordable housing, and evaluating professional titles. Therefore, refusing graduates to sign employment agreements is unfavorable to their work, life and career development. Graduates should take the initiative to ask employers to solve these problems, and assist in receiving personnel files, accounts and other relationships through local talent exchange centers.

Trap 5. Don't write a promise into the contract.

The employer does not have to undertake the obligation to fulfill the recruitment content. As a graduate, if the person who wants to recruit has fulfilled the promise in the recruitment advertisement, it is best to write these promises into the terms of the labor contract between the two parties, and urge the employer to fulfill the promise to the graduate with the binding force of the labor law.

Trap 6. Stealing candidates' personal information or works.

In the name of selecting candidates, enterprises should let job seekers write planning cases and translate articles in written tests, business visits and other links, which should be the responsibility of company employees. In addition to treating job-seeking students as free labor, students clearly write their own graduation design and research ideas in their resumes, which also makes many enterprises enjoy it.

Trap seven, the recruitment unit "indefinite trial"

According to the relevant regulations, the basic salary of probationary personnel is usually 1/4 of that of regular employees, and the welfare benefits such as labor insurance articles, material rewards and various insurances are not equal to those of regular employees. Therefore, in order to reduce human capital, some employers recruit a large number of short-term employees and do not sign labor contracts. After the three-month probation period expires, he will be dismissed under various excuses. In this way, job seekers always work hard for a few months with low wages, and then they are swept out. In this way, groups of students have been squeezed out of their work by the unit. It is a common experience in the past that college students were dismissed in the name of having problems because of their long internship period.

How to prevent the' trap' in the process of job hunting?

Beware of small advertisements

Be wary of short newspaper job advertisements, especially those employers who are evasive and secretive about their business descriptions. You should be vigilant! Because many of these advertisements are deceptive.

Distinguish the division of responsibilities

Although some recruitment companies have listed all kinds of positions to be recruited in job advertisements or job posters, in fact, these positions are all businesses, even businesses without basic salary. The identification method is: the job requirements recruited by these units are very simple and general, and it seems that many people are suitable.

Beware of the unemployed in the talent market.

Don't pay attention to those who wander around the talent market and take the initiative to talk to you.

Don't pay the application fee

Refuse to pay any fees charged by the recruiting unit during the application process.

Stay calm with enthusiasts.

If you find that the recruiting unit is extremely enthusiastic and excited about almost every applicant, you must be careful.

Avoid taking the exam alone.

Especially girls should avoid going to private places for interviews.

Be careful to become a gunman.

If the employer asks you to write written materials, they may not want to test your level, but may be more interested in the materials you write. So, even if you write, it can't be too long.

Find out the level of treatment first.

Be sure to discuss the salary and treatment clearly before you formally join the job, otherwise you will be passive after you join the job.

Five common job hunting traps

Fake recruitment, real training

In fact, this move has been exposed by the media many times, and it is not a new scam. For example, from 2065438 to May 2008, CCTV reported that a college graduate "didn't pay his salary for half a year, but owed tens of thousands of yuan in training fees". The common form of this kind of trap is that some training institutions publish false job advertisements, such as "zero threshold entry programmer/American editor/design assistant, with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan". After employees join the company, they are lured to let new employees participate in various paid trainings, and employees will find that they have to pay a lot of training fees instead of a high salary.

Fake entry, real charge

The company will immediately inform employees to collect various fees when they go through the employment formalities or after they join the company, such as transportation fees, medical examination fees, filing fees, clothing fees, risk deposits, etc. If the employee refuses to pay, the company will threaten not to hire or deduct it from the salary. Some employees were forced to pay a lot of fees and soon found themselves fired by the company for some reason. In fact, anyone with a little legal knowledge will know that Article 9 of China's Labor Contract Law stipulates: "An employer may not ask a worker to provide a guarantee or collect property from him in other names." Therefore, if the company has such illegal behavior, the applicant should confidently refuse.

Fake employment, real pyramid scheme

Tricks of pyramid schemes are common, but pyramid schemes always update various forms of scams to trick ignorant new job seekers. If it is found that there is no basic salary but only a sales promotion reward, or a generous commission is used to induce job seekers to pay a huge sum of money to buy goods or agent goods, or employees are required to invest their own money in an Internet loan platform to apply for loans and develop friends and relatives to invest in Internet online loans, or their communication tools such as ID cards and mobile phones are seized, or even their personal freedom is restricted, job seekers should be wary of whether they have joined the MLM organization. On the premise of ensuring their own safety, they should quit in time, save evidence and report to relevant government departments.

Fake job. That's a crime.

Some job seekers are lured by generous salaries and join some criminal gangs that seem to be legally registered, but actually engage in fraud or other criminal acts. After employees enter the company, they are constantly brainwashed, participate in fraud or other criminal acts, or take the initiative to serve them knowing that there are criminal acts, and eventually they will pay the price for their illegal and criminal acts, which will inevitably be severely punished by law.

Fake work is really illegal.

Some employees are diligent after passing the interview, but at the end of the probation period, they are notified by the company to terminate the labor contract. Some companies recruit positions such as marketing director, project director and operation editor. Instead, during the interview, I told the job seekers that the original position was gone, and suggested that the job seekers transfer to sales, promotion and other positions, and some job seekers will inevitably submit. Others, for example, in the process of signing a labor contract, some obviously unfair terms are agreed, or the employer is unwilling to sign a labor contract, or the employee is not given a copy of the labor contract, which is obviously in violation of the Employment Promotion Law or the Labor Contract Law, and the employee should be brave enough to take up legal weapons to protect himself.

Three measures to prevent job hunting trap

Correct mentality, adjust expectations, and happiness depends on struggle.

You should have a clear understanding of your ability, education, work experience, personality, advantages and disadvantages. Have a reasonable evaluation of your job search direction and the job you can match. Reasonably expect the job and salary that are in line with your actual situation. Don't believe that pie falls from the sky, let alone have a speculative mentality of aiming too high and hoping to get rich overnight. Easy, high-paying, low-threshold recruitment positions are often behind scams. Success needs strength and time to precipitate. Down-to-earth, I believe that hard work rather than opportunism is the biggest trick to win all scams.

Learn the law, inquire from many sides, ask more questions, check more and think more.

As a job seeker, we must know more about the labor law, which is a protective weapon for workers. China laws attach great importance to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of workers. If job seekers can know more about labor law and labor contract law, they can protect their rights and interests on many occasions and avoid falling into the job trap.

In fact, many scams exist by using information asymmetry. In the Internet age, information circulation is extremely convenient. Job seekers should make rational use of Internet tools to search the information of recruitment units to avoid risks. For example, you can use the enterprise information inquiry APP such as "Enterprise Xinbao" or "Enterprise Check" to investigate the operation and integrity of the recruiting unit, confirm the integrity of the intermediary or employment agency by asking questions online, and determine whether the recruitment opportunity is a scam by searching the interview place or contact number online. With the help of the Internet and other channels, we can verify the company's background and recruitment positions before submitting resumes or interviews, confirm the company's product status, the company's position and reputation in the industry, and whether the company is facing greater legal risks, so as to avoid into the pit when applying for a job.

For unfamiliar fields or positions, you can ask your parents, teachers or predecessors and ask acquaintances. Don't forget, finding a job is a two-way choice in the interview process. Don't just passively answer the recruiter's questions, but also ask the recruiter about the size of the company, office hours and place, working status, salary standard, five insurances and one gold, etc. If the recruiter can't answer or is unwilling to answer directly or exaggerate, then the job seeker should be careful when choosing a company.

Written contract, stop loss in time, and carefully preserve the evidence.

After joining the company, you will be faced with signing contracts and various agreements. According to China's Labor Contract Law, the employer must conclude a written labor contract with the employee. If the enterprise refuses to conclude a written labor contract with the employee, or the terms in the labor contract obviously exclude the rights of the employee and increase the obligations of the employee, the employee can clearly point out that the employer is illegal, ask the employer to correct the illegal behavior, or report to the labor administrative department.

If it is found that the recruiting unit has seized the ID card or restricted personal freedom after joining the company, or found that the enterprise has committed illegal acts, illegal pyramid schemes, online fraud or other criminal acts, it should leave the company immediately. We should know that the Labor Contract Law gives workers the right to resign without reason, especially when the enterprise infringes or endangers the rights and interests of workers, the workers can terminate the labor contract at any time without notifying the enterprise in advance, and they can also ask the enterprise to pay economic compensation. Therefore, when workers encounter such "malicious" employers, they should stop losses in time and protect themselves with legal weapons. Whether in the process of applying for a job or after joining the job, job seekers should pay attention to retaining the relevant evidence of communication with enterprises and the illegal acts of enterprises in order to legally defend their rights in the future.

I wish every job seeker can find an ideal job that suits him.
