Can this company be trusted?

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I recently got a job offer and went to the office to get my offer letter signed. However, when I asked for a copy of the offer letter, (through email and verbally) I have yet to receive a reply from the company. And my offer letter was printed on a recycled paper. I'm getting suspicious of this company because they don't seem to take me seriously (I'm a fresh grad btw)

EDIT (I missed out some info. I'm sorry) So the company is a really small PR agency (10-12 people in the company) from Malaysia, founded in 2012 (I'm Malaysian too). It's been almost a week since this happened that sent me into paranoia. The start date is mentioned in the letter itself. I only had the chance to read the offer letter on the spot when I signed it. And by recycled paper, I mean its printed on a used paper.

Trust is an interesting question. Never trust a company to do anything beyond look out for itself. That's just general career advice, not related to your question.

But for your actual question, don't stop looking for a job. You might find something better. You can keep looking even after you accept an offer. You can quit your job before you even start if you want if you find some place better.

As long as your not handing them you any tax information, they have little to gain by tricking you.
