It has come to the attention of the metro that a hoax message is making rounds informing job seekers that the position they have applied for has become available, and that the applicant meets the criteria.<\/p>\n
This is a scam!<\/p>
The same text message is also sent to people who have not applied for any post with the metro, and, therefore, residents are urged not to reply to the SMS.<\/p>\n
The metro\u2019s recruitment system sends email correspondence to job candidates\u2019 email addresses which were specified during registration, notifying them of the status of their applications.<\/p>
In some instances, correspondence can be through a telephone call.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, applications for jobs in the metro do not require any payment to be made.<\/p>\n
Should one be required to make a payment in relation to the metro\u2019s recruitment process, residents are urged to report it to the metro\u2019s anonymous Anti-Fraud Hotline on 0800 102 201 or email ethicsinfo@ekurhuleni.gov.za<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ALSO READ:<\/span><\/p>\n Learn all about city planning and what it means to you<\/a><\/p>\n App helps residents with service issues<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact the newsroom by emailing: Melissa Hart (Editor)\u00a0<\/span>germistoncitynews@caxton.co.za<\/a><\/strong> or Leigh Hodgson (News Editor)\u00a0<\/span>leighh@caxton.co.za<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Kgotsofalang Mashilo (journalist)\u00a0kgotsofalangm@caxton.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Remember to visit the Germiston City News on the following social media platforms:<\/p>\n Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Twitter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Or add the GCN on\u00a0<\/b><\/span>WhatsApp 079 406 1181<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0BBM (BBM Pin: 7F102137)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>today, to get all the latest news.<\/p>\n Catch-up on more local news with our sister newspapers\u00a0<\/span>Bedfordview Edenvale News<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Alberton Record<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Kempton Express.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
