Beware of EPWP job scams

The City's Urban Waste Management Directorate understands that this link has since been shut down, however given that some job seekers are still falling victim to similar tricks, we would like to remind residents how to distinguish a real job opportunity from a fake one. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"><img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Scam%20graphic%204.jpg" alt="" style="width:1048px;" /></figure> Here are some common signs that a job is a scam:<ul><li>The recruiter contacts you</li><li>You receive a job offer right away</li><li>The pay is suspiciously high</li><li>Job requirements and description are vague</li><li>The company requires payment from you to be eligible for consideration</li><li>The job promises that you will get wealthy fast</li><li>Communication appears unprofessional (spelling/grammar errors)</li><li>Contact information for the employer or company is missing</li><li>A company requests confidential information before hiring </li></ul> 'We appeal to job seekers to please be extra vigilant. It is very important to note that the City would never ask community members to pay for job opportunities, or to pay to apply for a job,' said Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Waste Management, Alderman Grant Twigg. How to register for EPWP job opportunities If you would like to be considered for EPWP work opportunities, the only way to do this is to register on the Jobseekers' Database at your local sub-council office. Please bring a copy of your CV, your ID or a valid South African work permit. EPWP beneficiaries are randomly selected from this database. For more information, contact the EPWP HelpDesk on 021 400 9406 or email <a href="mailto:epwp.help@capetown.gov.za">epwp.help@capetown.gov.za</a>. (07:30 until 15:30).
