General guidance from AssignmentsAbroad for anyone applying for work in a foreign country. It is not a statement about this employer or agency.

1. Check the recruiting agent's registration on the official eMigrate portal before you share documents or money. A licence number printed on an advert is not proof. How to verify a recruiting agent's licence →
2. Confirm the employer and the HVAC Technician vacancy using contact details you found yourself, not only the ones in a message. A convincing logo is not verification. How to verify the foreign employer →
3. Match your CV to the HVAC Technician role: your real job title, the machines and tools you used, your skills and certificates. Never add experience you do not have. Write a job-specific CV →
4. Prepare for a technical interview or trade test for HVAC Technician. Employers may ask you to show practical skills, safety knowledge and how you troubleshoot. Prepare for a trade test and technical interview →
5. Keep your passport, certificates and experience letters ready, with names and dates that match across every document. Documents checklist for Gulf jobs →

7. Insist on a written employment contract that names the employer, your job, salary and hours, and matches the offer. Do not accept "you will get it after you arrive". Why you need a written contract →
8. Be suspicious of urgent demands for money described as a selection fee, deposit or confirmation charge. Verify first, and always ask for a written breakdown and a receipt. Never pay large sums to secure a job →
9. Do not travel to a foreign country on a tourist or visit visa to work, whatever you are promised about converting it later. Confirm the proper work visa and any emigration clearance that applies to you. The tourist visa job scam →
10. Keep copies of this advert, your messages, payments and contract. If something seems wrong, report it to the police or cybercrime portal and to the Ministry of External Affairs. How to report overseas job fraud →
