Question 5 • *CR Foundations of Personal Wellness S2 [ELECTIVE, Y4904OX]
You are looking for part-time employment and posted your résumé to an online job site. One day you receive an e-mail from a company whose name you do not recognize. The person claims that the company needs orders processed, and that to get started, you simply need to fill out the paperwork, attached, provide your contact and personal information, and return it. To ensure your safety, the BEST next step is to __________.
Answer
A
fill out the form and send it back immediately to start working
B
send an e-mail that contains questions you have about the position and your personal information, such as your phone number and address, so that they can contact you
C
do some research on the company and contact the company to verify that the position is legitimate before giving out your personal information
D
give the company your home address hoping they will stop by to do an in-house interview
Explanation
Before sharing personal information or completing attached paperwork, verify that the company and job are legitimate. Research the company and contact it using independently found contact details, rather than relying only on the unexpected email. Choice C is the safest next step; the other choices disclose personal information before the offer is verified.
