Beijing News is currently in the critical period for college graduates to find jobs. Some lawbreakers dig "holes" under the guise of recruitment, swindle money, misappropriate information, induce crime and other phenomena occur from time to time, seriously damaging the employment rights and interests of graduates. The Ministry of Education recently warned that college graduates must enhance their three senses, prevent four types of traps, and protect their own safety and legitimate rights and interests in the process of job hunting.
One of the four types of common job-hunting scams to be vigilant First, the trap of illegal job intermediary. Some "black intermediaries" who do not have relevant qualifications or falsely use or forge relevant qualifications often issue false recruitment information under the guise of job introduction, and use various means to cheat money with the bait of "easy to get high salary", "quick promotion and salary increase", etc.
Second, we must strictly guard against the trap of recruitment fees. Illegal elements often collect various fees in the name of recruitment to seek illegal benefits. Some charges in the name of deposit, security deposit, card handling fee, clothing fee, material fee, etc., and then force applicants to give up their job search or leave their posts automatically with various harsh requirements. The fees paid will not be refunded for various reasons. Some claim to have the right of recommendation within well-known companies, and cheat money under the guise of charging fees to recommend high-quality jobs. Some colluded with non-performing online loan platforms and set up new recruitment traps such as training loan, car purchase loan and beauty loan by taking advantage of the characteristics of graduates' eagerness to enter the workplace and seek jobs. Some recruit students in disguised form under the name of recruitment, and require to pay to participate in induction or certification training. Once charged, they refuse to fulfill their commitments for various reasons, or even directly "run away with money".
Third, we must strictly prevent recruitment fraud traps. Illegal persons often induce job seekers to engage in and participate in illegal acts by publishing false recruitment information. Some published fabricated recruitment information on various network platforms to induce job seekers to gradually expose their personal information, download order swiping apps, and defraud job seekers of money with words such as "high salary urgent employment" and "unlimited education background". Some use "work study", "part-time recruitment" and "high returns" as bait to attract job seekers to fall into the trap of pyramid schemes. Some require female job seekers to engage in heterosexual services in the name of recruiting "administrative secretaries" and "life assistants", or under the guise of recruiting new jobs such as network anchors. Some, in the name of recruitment, embezzle personal information such as the applicant's bank card, mobile phone card or payment account for fraud, money laundering and other illegal activities.
Fourth, we must strictly guard against "dirty" contract traps. In the process of signing the contract, individual employers infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of graduates in order to reduce employment costs and avoid employment responsibilities. Some only signed the Employment Agreement, or agreed on work related matters in oral form such as conversation and telephone, without signing a written labor contract. Some contracts are simple in content, lacking specific contents such as job position, work place, salary, working conditions and contract duration. Some prepared two "Yin Yang contracts" with different salaries at the same time on the ground of underpayment of taxes. Some include "overlord clause", which requires not to get married within a few years, unconditionally obey overtime work, leave during the probation period without settling wages, etc. After graduates come to work, especially when there are some disputes, they may be defaulted or refused to pay by the employing unit on the ground that there is no written labor contract or they violate the relevant terms of the contract.
The Ministry of Education also reminded graduates to enhance three awareness in the process of job hunting. First, they should enhance the awareness of risk prevention. Actively participate in the employment guidance and safety education activities organized by the school and relevant departments, enhance the awareness and ability to identify employment "traps" and illegal behaviors, do not take the so-called "job search shortcuts", and guard against potential "high salary fraud". Second, we should enhance the awareness of information security. Obtain employment information through the national college student employment service platform, college employment website and other relevant national departments, local and college campus recruitment and other formal channels, screen through multiple channels, and do not blindly trust; Do not open the links of strange websites at will, and be cautious about asking for sensitive information and withholding the original certificate. Third, we should strengthen the awareness of safeguarding rights according to law. Take the initiative to learn the legal knowledge related to job hunting and employment, and learn to use the law to protect their own rights and interests. If the legitimate rights and interests of the applicant are infringed during the job search, the applicant shall actively collect and retain relevant evidence, seek help from the school and relevant departments in a timely manner, or report to the public security organ.
The Ministry of Education said that in order to promote the high-quality and full employment of 2024 college graduates, it will carry out six major actions, including the "Employment Promotion Week", to precisely expand employment positions, continue to optimize guidance services, and guide graduates who have employment intentions but have not yet implemented their employment destination to actively seek jobs.
