Applying safely
- Use employer career portals when possible and confirm the domain before entering personal information.
- A legitimate employer should not require gift cards, cryptocurrency or a payment to “release” wages.
- Be wary of remote-job offers that immediately send checks for equipment and ask you to forward money.
- For city jobs, the City states it accepts applications only for open positions.
- Job availability changes quickly; verify the posting date and whether the position remains open.
