WARNING: Job Scams
Always exercise caution when reading emails regarding 'job opportunities'. Many are fradulent. Legitimate companies will always identify themselves, have a legitimate business email address, and will never ask for a fee to apply. If the job opportunity seems to good to be true, it probably is. If you are unsure whether a job opportunity email you've received is legitimate, contact ahintern@uwo.ca.
