SCAM ALERT. Be smart enough!

Hellew! Hellew!

As you can see on my last entry before this one, I blogged about how my life's been recently and that's talking more of being a fresh graduate and how hard of applying to get your very first job, and there, I tackled about how I applied for jobs wherein I was the one who decided not to pursue it even though I am already qualified for the position they're offering me, why? as you can read it again, I stated how they're hiring process is so fast, you take an exam, go through a tagalog interview, you pass and you are off to your orientation/training, but before you can start immediately, they will let you pay a certain amount of money for their health insurance or whatsoever reason! so I really had a huge doubt why we have to pay for it because as far as I know, those are to be deducted from your salary, so before I go through that orientation and paying process, I tried to google the company's name on the internet and found out that these were scams, meaning, you have to buy products from the company with your own money and sell them, then you also recruit people to do the same thing, what's worse is, the products they're endorsing cost a lot of money, plus, I have read some complains that you are also entitled to pay for dental insurance, company kit etc... So can you imagine? You're applying to get a job because you need to earn money to support yourself and to provide what your family needs, then when you get to this job, they will only add burden to your life, what's shocking is, there actually tons of scam companies around the country and I don't have any idea why despite of thousands of complains regarding such, officials haven't done anything to stop this, worst thing is, a lot of these companies are still running for years and years now. PLEASE, OPEN YOUR EYES.

How do you actually know if you're applying for a company which is a scam? I have some tips to actually help you not to go through this.

- Job Qualifications.

A well-known company. It requires you to have experience and you should actually reach at least second year college, they usual age requirement is always between 20 - 28 years old because they believe when you're young, you can do office tasks quickly and you have good memory.

Scam company. It requires you to be at the age of 18-45 years old, with or without experience and at least high school graduate. so most of unemployed people have these qualifications so the tendecy is you get amaze that you can still apply for an office staff/assistant position even if you're like 40 or you're only a high school graduate.

Hiring Process

A well-known company. Your interview will always be in english to test your communication skills, of course if you are working for prestigious companies, there are a lot foreign clients so you should be able to communicate with them in above average english.

Your exam is composed of problem solvings, analytical and logical tests, english grammar, and sometimes they test your typing speed and your listening skill.

Scam company.

Their interviews are in pure tagalog, if they ask you in english, their dictions aren't good as well knowing that they're the interviewer, they will ask you to elaborate your objective, define sucess etc... it's just very obvious that they only get these questions on in the internet.

Your exam is composed of usually 10 - 20 items, usually there are no right or wrong answer, there also questions that aren't related to your work (i.e. who is the husband of Judy Ann Santos) funny right? lol

and most importantly, a well known company doesn't let you pay a cent. if they let you pay something, you should begin to doubt. I also suggest that when they text or call you to schedule you for an interview, you can already ask them through phone if you have to pay for something, remember, when they don't reply and explain if there is a payment of not, THEN THAT IS STILL NOT TRUE.

Beware of these SCAM companies:

B.S. International Inc

MedCeeTect Company

Peso Group of Company

Optima Furtinance Consultancy

Infiniteam Enterprise

...and a lot more!

If we can't do anything to stop this, we should be the ones who should not get fooled by them.

BE SMART ENOUGH!
