Scam: Alleged UNESCO Job Opportunity in Canada

Claim: An A4 page document is circulating on social media that claims to be a UNESCO job opportunity in Canada. The document contains multiple listings for the same position in Ottawa and includes details such as a job reference number and a description of the qualifications for the available positions.

Verdict: This is a scam and UNESCO job opportunity in Canada has no suxh openings.

Verification Process

To verify the authenticity of this job opportunity, we conducted the following checks:

  1. Google Reverse Image Search:
    • We performed a reverse image search using the document’s content, but no exact matches were found. This suggests that the document is not widely recognized or associated with legitimate job listings.
  2. UNESCO Official Website Search:
    • We visited the official UNESCO website and searched for job opportunities in Ottawa, Canada. Unfortunately, we did not find any matching job listings with the provided reference number.
    • Additionally, the state/country information mentioned in the document (Ottawa, Canada) did not correspond to any available positions on the UNESCO website.
  3. Job Opportunity Reference Number:
    • Legitimate job opportunities typically have a single reference number associated with them. However, the searched image contained multiple listings, which is unusual.
    • We individually searched each job opportunity reference with its specified location on the UNESCO website, but no relevant results were found.
  4. Social Media Platforms:
    • We checked UNESCO’s official social media accounts (such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn) for any announcements related to the alleged job opportunity. Unfortunately, we found no evidence of such a position being advertised.

Conclusion

Based on our investigation, the job search opportunity described in the circulated document appears to be a scam. The lack of verifiable information on official platforms, the absence of matching reference numbers, and the cumulative nature of the listings all raise red flags.

Verdict: Fake

As responsible fact-checkers, we advise users to exercise caution when encountering job opportunities online. Always verify information through official channels and avoid sharing unverified content.
