When you don’t know where to look, it can be a very difficult task. Let’s tear down for you each method and talk about the pros and cons.
Gleaner Classified listing
The classified career section is reserved to established companies. Only Jamaican companies with high reputation are allowed to list jobs into the Jamaica gleaner classified career category.
Obviously, on this section you can find job opportunities in North West Company, National Commercial Bank, Jamaica Public Service… But it is not enough to consider it as the Graal of job seeking in Jamaica.
Why ? Because those companies count thousands of employees. It means that every time a position is open, it is also open for employees of the actual company.
The competition is rude and I don’t need to tell you that if you are fresh out of school, even graduating with high grades, being short listed will be hard!
As an hiring professional, i’ve seen external candidate application good the the trash to many times. Most of applicant would try to apply asking for any job to show their motivation.
It was also easier for us to fill the position with someone we knew for a long time… Life is not fair.
Sunday Gleaner Classified Job listing
The Sunday Gleaner Classified job section is open to anybody. It means there is a ton of Caribbean jobs listed there. It would be great if 100% where serious offers but as you guessed, it isn’t.
From Fake companies requesting you to send money to confirm your willing to join the company to weird requests, you must be very attentive on your choices.
Earning money is not easy so if a job offer is promising you that you will build a fortunes without working more that 2 hours per day, i’m sorry to tell you this will be a scam. Most of the time it’s very interesting overseas job offers or both locally and overseas Caribbean job offers.
To conclude, Sunday Gleaner Classified Job offers can be legit and available but you have to behave carefully. When it is to good to be true, it isn’t.
Seeking Caribbean Job Online
The fact that you are searching for jobs in the Caribbean online does not change that you have to be careful. While most of the legit job offers present on the Sunday gleaner classified job and the gleaner classified career section can be found on the web, scammer are also highly present online since they can reach more people.
