Money Box: My job was not ‘as advertised’

My job was not ‘as advertised’

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, My job was not ‘as advertised’

Charmaine Cozier and guests explore the pitfalls and tips on how to get  a job

A BBC investigation has found that more than 50 people were tricked into working for a design agency that turned out to be fake.  They were hired during the lockdown and convinced the company was a successful business. But it had an online universe of fake profiles, stolen work and lies. Workers were all Jobfished.
 
Charmaine Cozier talks to BBC reporter Catrin Nye who investigated this story for the past  12 months and to former employee, Jordan Carter about what happened to him 

The programme also discusses what lessons  we can  learn to keep safe while searching & applying for jobs and what you can do if your job was not “as advertised”? 

We are offered guidance by:
Keith Rosser , Co-Director and Chair of Jobsaware  which provides free and independent advice on how to protect your rights as a non-permanent worker, whether that's through an agency, umbrella company or as part of the gig economy.
