The United States embassy in Port au Prince has warned Haitians to be wary of “malicious individuals’ promising jobs and other economic opportunities.
In a statement, the Embassy said that it does not ask job applicants for money, ever and that “if you are asked for money to apply or to accept a job offer or start training, do not pay. It is a scam.
“The Embassy does not make unsolicited job offers. The Embassy only chooses applicants who have submitted applications and who have had an in-person interview. If you have not applied for a job, then the job offer is a scam.”
It said all Embassy jobs are advertised on its website, adding “if you do not see the job advertised there, it is not a real job.
“Any emails about Embassy jobs would come from our Human Resources Department (HR). The email will be from a State.gov email account. It will NOT be from a Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Twitter, Skype, Instagram, or Facebook account,” the US embassy said.
The embassy also encouraged applicants to contact them via email at Port-au-PrinceHR@state.gov if they received a job offer.
