Is it normal for jobs to ask you to download Telegram to apply for a job? Just curious 2 different jobs had the exact same verbiage which is why I ask! Scammers are EVERYWHERE it seems! #becareful #jobsearch #advice #application #workfromhome #interview

If any job ask you to download an app just to apply skip that job….NEXT

I was also told to download the WhatsApp and then how I wanted to get paid and if check worked......
. then told Me to make a yahoo acct... So I said no thank you . Scam

No it's a scam

And that’s exactly what it is !!! A scam!!!! Well the one i applied for was!!!

No apps to apply for a job..legit companies provide more transparency than using an app.

What website IS safe to job search?

Yes, I agree with the other post about this being a scam. Do not download either request because they can use those apps as backdoors into your system to steal passwords, download malware to your hard drive and use ransom requests to have it removed. Report them as phishing.

Everything within the job market is changing so rapidly these days. I would research to ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ regarding the Telegram app.

I will respond to them via other means and tell them I'm not getting on social media just to apply.
No it is not and in fact if they do ask you to download Telegram or Whatsapp to apply for a job that is most likely a SCAM.
