[/B]now, my first thought was that its definitely a scam. why would they ask for 1500rs even before the interview. but these guys are recruiters (assuming they arent fake) do REAL recruiters charge applicants before the interview? along with the email, they have send 2 PDF files. one states the job description and the other is the application form. both look reasonably professional. i ve googled them and found nothing wrong about them. i ve found a few Linkedin profiles of ppl claiming to work in this company. i ve found a few other jobs posted by them too. n their websites seems legitimate too http://www.niagaraconvergyz.ca/ they claim to be based in Calgary, Canada. but they also claim to be a BPO...
Now, can any one please guide me as to what to do? i would love to join a gud company though im not desperate for a job at this time. what should i do? im planning to ask someone in lahore living/working nearby to check the office and will also call and email them to check if they really are a proper employer/recruiter. please share your views, guys...
