“Zero threshold "easy monthly income of 30,000"? When you see such a recruitment advertisement for migrant workers abroad, are you moved?
The Tongzhou Public Security Bureau announced on November 29 that through careful investigation, a labor fraud gang was smashed and 7 suspects were arrested. With the continuous development of globalization, working abroad has become an option for more and more people to pursue a high salary and a better life. However, this has been followed by the emergence of various traps for working abroad, the most concerning of which is the trap of "working abroad to a developed country for a high salary". So, how do you identify this trap?
First, let's be clear: high-paying jobs in developed countries are not readily available. Many unscrupulous intermediaries or companies take advantage of people's psychology of pursuing high salaries and throw out the bait of "working in developed countries and earning tens of thousands of dollars a month" to lure people into taking the bait. So, how do you spot this trap?
1. Whether the high salary is reasonable: High-paying jobs exist in developed countries, but they are not universal. If a job posting claims to offer a high salary that is well above the local average salary, you need to be wary of whether it is false information. Learn about the labor market abroad**. Before choosing to work abroad, it is important to have an in-depth understanding of the labor market in the target country. Include the country's employment situation, industry demand, wage levels, etc., in order to judge whether the high salary received is justified. At the same time, it is important to understand the country's laws and regulations, especially those related to foreign workers, to ensure that your rights and interests are protected.
2. Whether the recruiter is legitimate: Confirming the legitimacy of the recruiter is a necessary step. You can check whether the recruiter has the qualifications and licenses of the relevant ** department and verify their registration information. Verify the authenticity of the recruitment information: The authenticity of the recruitment information can be verified through search engines, relevant departments, or social channels. If you can't find the relevant job postings or some netizens report that the job postings are false, you need to be vigilant.
Choose your agents and employers carefully. Choosing a regular, qualified agent and employer is the key to working abroad. It is necessary to choose those formal intermediaries who have the "Foreign Labor Service Cooperation Business Qualification Certificate" or the "Foreign Contracted Project Business Qualification Certificate" issued by the Ministry of Commerce, and at the same time check the employer's business qualification and credibility. Don't trust some unscrupulous agents or fake high-paying job postings to avoid falling into the trap.
3. Sign a formal contract。Before going abroad, be sure to sign a formal contract with an agent or employer. The contract should clarify key terms such as work content, salary, working hours, insurance, etc., to ensure that your rights and interests are fully protected. At the same time, you should carefully read every clause in the contract to ensure that your interests are maximized.
Fourth, whether the cost requirements are reasonableSome unscrupulous agents will ask job seekers to pay high agency fees or other fees during the recruitment process. If the recruiter asks for a hefty fee, you need to be wary of scams.
Pay attention to the fees and payment methods. When collecting service fees, overseas labor intermediary companies must comply with national regulations and inform the charging standards in advance. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the wage payment method is clearly stipulated in the contract to avoid problems such as wage arrears.
5. Whether the work visa is genuineIn some countries, work visa applications are subject to a rigorous review and process. If the recruiter claims to be able to provide a work visa without providing the relevant proof and documents, you need to be vigilant.
Pay attention to your status and the type of visa. While working abroad, you should pay attention to whether your status and visa type are in line with the country's laws. If it is a work visa, it needs to meet the country's employment conditions and eligibility requirements; If you are a short-term visa such as a tourist visa or a business visa, you need to pay attention to the validity period of the visa and the time limit of stay. Avoid breaking the country's laws due to status or visa issues.
6. Keep in touch with your family。During the period of working abroad, you should keep in touch with your family and inform your family members of your work and living situation in a timely manner. If you encounter problems or difficulties, you can seek help and support from your family in time.
To find a regular labor agency, you can take the following steps:
Search for information: You can search for relevant information on the Internet to understand the background and credibility of labor agencies. Some well-known labor intermediaries can check the relevant information on the Ministry of Commerce**.
Verification of qualifications: Confirm whether the labor agency has the relevant qualifications and licenses. You can ask to see the labor agency's business license and other relevant documents to ensure its legitimacy.
Understand word-of-mouth: You can learn about the quality of service and reputation of labor agencies through social media**, forums or relevant reviews**. If there are reviews from others who have worked for the agency, it can be used as a reference.
Confirm the details of the contract: Before signing a contract with a labor agent, be sure to read the terms of the contract carefully to understand your rights and obligations. Make sure that the details of the work, working hours, work location, salary package, and payment method are clearly specified in the contract.
Avoid fee traps: Some unscrupulous agents will ask candidates to pay high agency fees or other fees during the recruitment process. Formal labor agencies usually don't ask for high fees, and if the recruiter asks for a fee, you need to be wary of fraud.
Protect personal information: When communicating with labor agents, you must pay attention to protecting your personal information, such as sensitive information such as ID number, home address, ** number, etc. Don't give this information to untrusted third parties.
To sum up, the trap of "going abroad to work in a developed country to get a high salary" is not credible. To avoid falling into the trap, you need to understand the labor market abroad, choose your agents and employers carefully, sign formal contracts, pay attention to fees and payment methods, pay attention to your status and visa type, and stay in touch with your family. Only in this way can we ensure that our interests are maximized and realize our dream of working abroad.
