Check whether the employer can be identified and whether the role appears through a channel you can verify, such as its own careers page. Read the responsibilities and application process carefully. A polished posting or a message mentioning AI does not establish legitimacy.
Be cautious about requests for money, passwords, or unnecessary sensitive information before a credible process is established. Use contact details you independently locate rather than relying only on a message's links. If something feels inconsistent, pause and verify it. A good opportunity should withstand reasonable questions.
