Got Job Offer from Canada- How to verify the genuineness?

There are certain specific points that on must always keep in mind before opting for a job and for verifying whether the letter of employment is genuine or not.

As you are opting for a job which has been offered to you, it is a very simple thing that one surely knows about the post he/she has been offered to on the job. If you opt for the job without verifying and without being sure of the post then it might land you in trouble. Suppose you have been offered the job of regional manager. You join your new job as a regional manager but as soon as you reach there you find that they have hired you as a sales representative with a much lower salary. So, in order to avoid this be sure of the job title or the position being offered to you.

Ensure that the Job Offer Letter does mention the Duties

There have been many cases that one has been hired to do the job of an accountant and the company makes him do the job of a service representative, both at the same time and within the same salary. That can surely offend you. To avoid this make sure of the job description and duties.

One of the main things to keep in mind while checking the genuineness of a job is to be sure of the salary specification. Make sure that the salary offered to you is specified and not generalized. Without checking this if you join a job, it might land you in trouble. And also at the same time make sure of the employers official address and contact a person who is also in the same job in the same company.
