How to spot a fake job offer in Myanmar

မြန်မာဘာသာဖြင့် ဖတ်ရန်

Short answer

A job offer is a warning sign if someone asks you to pay first, will not name a real company and address, pushes you to decide today, or asks for your ID card, passport or bank details before an interview. A real employer does not need your money to hire you.

Warning signs

They ask you to pay. "Registration fee", "training fee", "uniform deposit", "processing fee" before you start. Stop and ask why.
No real company. No company name, no office address, or only a Facebook or Telegram account with no history.
Pay that sounds too good. Very high salary for little experience, with no clear job duties.
Pressure. "Only today", "last 2 places", "send money now to keep your seat".
Your documents first. They want a photo of your NRC, passport or bank card before any interview.
Job changes after you agree. The job, place or salary is different from what was posted.
Overseas jobs with no paperwork. No written contract and no licensed agency named.

What to do before you say yes

Ask for the company name, address and a phone number. Look the company up yourself.
Ask for the job duties, salary and working hours in writing.
If an agency is involved, ask for its Ministry of Labour recruitment licence number.
Do not send money, and do not send ID photos to someone you have not met through a real hiring process.
Talk to someone you trust before you decide. A friend who works in that field can tell you if the offer sounds normal.

If you already paid or shared documents

Stop sending money. Keep screenshots of all messages and payments. Tell your family or someone you trust. Call +95 9 420008965 or visit www.refertrm.com.
