Is it a lie to work abroad?

Not all opportunities to work abroad are scams, but there are indeed some unscrupulous merchants or intermediary companies who will use people's desire for high-paying jobs to cheat.

Here are some signs that may prompt you that this opportunity may be a scam:

The salary promised by the other party is outrageous. Excessive salary is usually to attract your attention.

Lack of transparency, unable to provide detailed information such as work contract, work permit, salary structure and work benefits.

You need to pay fees in advance, such as training fees, visa fees, accommodation fees, etc. Legitimate employers usually don't ask you to pay these fees before you start working.

The information provided by the other party is inconsistent, for example, the workplace and employer's name provided are inconsistent with the public information.

The other party asks you to violate local laws, such as working illegally or using fake documents.

To prevent being cheated, you can:

Before making any decision, thoroughly investigate any job opportunities, including searching the company's background and consulting their websites and social media.

Contact the embassy or consulate of the destination country for information about work permits and legal employers.

Don't trust the job advertisements you see online easily, especially if there is no official website or official contact information.

If the other party asks you to pay any fees, please ask the other party to provide detailed instructions and information so that you can confirm its authenticity.

In short, as a job seeker, you need to be vigilant and act cautiously to ensure that you will not be cheated.
