Practical checks to reduce risk while looking for work. This page does not claim that any listing is verified or authentic.

Try To Apply shares job information from identified sources. Always verify details yourself. We do not guarantee that a job is open, safe, or accurately described.

Verify the employer

Ask clear questions before travelling. Confirm the company name, job location, and who you will meet.

Be careful with payment requests

Be cautious if someone asks for money to give you a job, visa help, or interview access.

Protect your personal documents

Do not share passport copies, ID cards, or bank details until you understand who you are dealing with.

Check the job date

Jobs can expire quickly. Look at the posted and last-checked dates before making plans.

Confirm location and conditions

Confirm salary, accommodation, transport, and working hours with the original source.

Report suspicious listings

If something looks fake, expired, or unsafe, report the job so others can stay informed.

Extra safety tips

  • Be suspicious of advance payments, “processing fees”, or requests for money before an interview.
  • Do not send passport, bank, or ID copies until you know who is asking and why.
  • Confirm location, salary, and working conditions with the original source before travelling.
  • If a listing looks fake or unsafe, use Report a Job so the team can review it.
