The explosion of technology has profoundly changed the labor market. Online job fairs are increasingly proving to be an outstanding advantage in connecting supply and demand, eliminating geographical distance.
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper reporter, Mr. Vu Quang Thanh - Deputy Director of Hanoi Employment Service Center said that regular online connection activities between Hanoi and neighboring provinces have helped workers and businesses save significantly in time and costs.
"Workers in Vinh Phuc or Bac Ninh can connect to interviews with businesses in Hanoi and vice versa. The labor market is much closer," said Mr. Thanh.
However, along with those benefits are potential risks. cyberspace has become a place for scammers to spread sophisticated traps, targeting workers who are looking for jobs.
Analyzing this situation, Mr. Vu Quang Thanh pointed out: "Technology brings many positives, but also creates a "virtual" market. Most workers are caught in a virtual trap, which is the illusion of "easy work, high salary".
According to Mr. Thanh, the tricks of scammers, although not new, are always effective because they target the greed and trust of a part of the workers. They often painted with idle jobs, not requiring experience, working at home but with an unbelievable "huge" income.
"The general level of salary payment is basically similar, depending on each segment and the nature of the work. There is no such thing as a high salary increase. This is something that workers need to be really vigilant about," Mr. Thanh emphasized.
The Deputy Director of the Hanoi Employment Service Center recommends that when accessing any recruitment information, workers need to carefully check and authenticate information about the enterprise. Absolutely do not believe in unrealistic promises, do not transfer money or provide sensitive personal information to employers when the truth is not yet clear. Giving up information not only causes workers to lose money but also risks theft of personal data for illegal purposes.
To support workers, the Hanoi Employment Service Center also regularly integrates consulting content, warnings about scams in job fairs and daily consulting activities, to raise public awareness and protect the legitimate rights of workers.
