Graduates looking for jobs should be wary of eight types of pitfalls

It's job search season, and college graduates are about to enter the workforce. While trying to find the job they want, they should also beware of job scams. Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security sorted out eight common job traps and issued relevant tips to avoid "pits".

Black intermediary traps. Some illegal employment agencies charge fees in various names in disguise under the pretext of job introduction. They do not have relevant qualifications such as human resources service licenses, in order to impersonate or falsify relevant qualifications to defraud job seekers.

Prevention tips: Graduates should give priority to public employment talent service institutions and formal market intermediaries to understand whether their business scope includes employment agency business and whether they have the Human Resources Service License. When signing an agreement with a market intermediary, you should read the content of the contract clearly and do not sign it blindly.

Part-time traps. Some fraudsters carry out scams under the guise of high-paying part-time jobs, cashbacks, etc. It is characterized by a low threshold, easy part-time work, and good salaries.

Prevention tip: Graduates should not believe in good errands that are easy and profitable, and should understand the market salary level of the position. At the same time, pay attention to the security of personal information, do not easily disclose bank cards, online banking and other password information, and do not open unfamiliar website links at will.

Charging traps. In the name of recruitment, employers or intermediaries collect application fees, clothing fees, physical examination fees, training fees, deposits, job stability fees, data review fees and other fees. Some intermediaries cooperate with unscrupulous employers, and the intermediary first charges fees in the name of recommending jobs, and when entering the company, the unscrupulous employers fabricate various reasons to refuse graduates to work or dismiss them midway.

Precautionary tips: Graduates should keep in mind that there is no fee for applying for a job, and should be cautious about recruitment, interviews, internships, etc. that need to be paid, and verify whether there is a legal basis for fees.

Lending traps. Some intermediaries or employers use high-paying employment as bait to promise employment after training, but must borrow from designated lending institutions to pay training fees. After the training, training institutions often struggle to deliver on their promises, and graduates may face the disadvantage of not being able to find employment with high borrowings.

Cautionary tips: Graduates should see whether the business scope of the institution or enterprise contains training content, carefully sign loan agreements or training agreements containing loan content, and pay attention to retaining relevant materials.

MLM traps. MLM is generally based on the gimmick of making a lot of money easily and going directly to the job without an interview. MLM interviews or work locations are remote and change frequently, and the company's business cannot be clearly explained.

Prevention tips: Graduates must be aware that pyramid schemes are illegal acts, and they must maintain a high degree of awareness about the publicity of developing downlines. If you accidentally enter the pyramid scheme, get out and call the police as soon as possible.

Contract traps. In the process of signing an employment contract, individual employers infringe in order to reduce costs and avoid liability. Some only sign an Employment Agreement or verbally agree on work matters. Some contracts have simple content and lack wages, labor conditions, etc. Some prepare two "yin and yang contracts" with different salaries at the same time. Some include "overlord clauses", requiring unconditional obedience to overtime, probationary resignation, and no payment of wages.

Precautionary reminder: Both parties to the establishment of labor relations shall conclude a written labor contract. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the labor contract has the necessary clauses stipulated in the Labor Contract Law (the basic situation of the employer, the duration of the contract, the content and location of the work, working hours, rest and vacation, labor remuneration, social insurance, labor conditions, etc.), and be highly vigilant against the clauses that have no basis in law and are obviously unreasonable.

Probationary traps. Some employers have agreed on a long probationary period beyond the statutory upper limit, or repeatedly agreed on a probationary period. Some use the probationary period as a reason to pay wages lower than the local minimum wage, or do not pay social insurance. There are also a large number of recruits of fresh graduates, agree on lower salaries, and when the probationary period ends, they are dismissed for various reasons, "fake probation, real use".

Preventive tips: Any probationary period agreement that violates the law is invalid, the probationary period shall not exceed 6 months, and the same employer and the same employee can only agree on a probationary period once; Where a labor contract is limited to the completion of certain work tasks or the term of the labor contract is less than 3 months, a probationary period must not be stipulated; If the labor contract only stipulates a probationary period, the probationary period shall not be established, and the period shall be the term of the labor contract. During the probationary period, social insurance shall be paid, and the salary level shall not be lower than the minimum wage of the same position in the unit or not less than 80% of the wage agreed in the labor contract, and shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard.

Information traps. Some employers exaggerate the size of the unit, development prospects, salaries and benefits. Some obfuscate the work content, beautifying the positions of salesman, salesman and other positions into attractive names such as "marketing manager" and "business department director".

Prevention tips: Graduates can inquire about the employer's situation through the official website of the enterprise, industrial and commercial registration information, etc., and should be vigilant against long-term large-scale recruitment and high turnover rate.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security reminds the majority of college graduates to learn about recruitment information through legal and proper information channels, and can go to local public employment talent service institutions and public recruitment websites to seek employment. Once you encounter the above situation, please call 12333 immediately or go to the human resources and social security department to complain and report. If your personal safety is threatened or injured, call the police immediately. (Workers' Daily reporter Li Danqing)
