1

Return to the named source

Open the vacancy on the employer or official service named in the message. A logo, forwarded screenshot or urgent chat message is not proof that the sender owns the opportunity.

  • Check the domain and vacancy reference
  • Look for the employer through an independent route
  • Keep the original message while you verify
2

Pause when money or secrecy appears

The National Career Service states that its services are free and warns jobseekers not to pay fees to employers. Treat requests for registration, interview, equipment or release fees as a reason to stop and verify.

  • Do not transfer money under time pressure
  • Do not share an OTP or banking credential
  • Use the cybercrime portal or 1930 for cyber financial fraud
3

Prepare the first visit separately

Confirm the meeting place and person through a known channel. Keep travel timing, a return option and the documents you actually need separate from the recruiter conversation.

  • Choose a staffed meeting location where possible
  • Tell a trusted person only if you want to
  • Leave if the location or request differs materially from what was confirmed

Understand this page

Check the offer and the visit separately.

Use these checks for a vacancy, recruiter message, training offer or interview invitation that you have not independently confirmed.

Find an independent contact route

Open the organisation or named official portal yourself. Compare the vacancy reference, role, location and application instructions with the message you received. A familiar logo in a forwarded image is not confirmation.

Keep control of the first visit

Confirm where you are going and who will meet you. Check the documents actually needed and plan your return. If the payment or meeting conditions change, pause and verify through the independent route.

Questions about this page

Does appearing on a portal guarantee selection?

No. Eligibility and selection belong to the opportunity owner. Aamegh does not guarantee employment or charge to unlock a vacancy.
