Information for using JAB

APPLYING FOR A VACANCY IN JAB
Applications, or requests for more information about a vacancy, should be directed to the employer via the given contact details.

WORK PERMITS & VISAS
Our readers come from all parts of the world but employers, in most cases, have to follow local employment laws and can only offer employment to certain nationalities with the correct pieces of paper. For more information please see our page on Work Visas and Permits

WARNINGS
We are all using the Internet and recruitment is a particularly rich area for con men especially when we are looking to chase our dreams abroad. If any nasties have got past us and made it into the Jobs Abroad Bulletin, we’d like to here about it

In response to ever increasing attempts to scam money from international job hunters posted to us, and to other job or classified websites, we have added some advice on Spotting Job Scams

Though many organisations that advertise in JAB may require a fee (ie gap year expeditions and voluntary organisations requiring a contribution towards food and accommodation), please be careful if you are asked to send money in advance to an employer or an agency. It is not legal for UK employment agencies to charge employees for job placing services (au pair agencies are one of the few exceptions - though most tend to charge employers and do not request fees from au pairs). If you believe an advertiser in this bulletin is not playing the game fairly, please report them to us

DISCLAIMER
JAB is thrown together quickly on a shoestring and contains ads that we believe are authentic and currently available. However, readers should check out things for themselves and not blame us if things go wrong. Readers with any questions, comments or complaints about an advertisement should contact the advertiser directly and/or get in touch with us.
