Claim: A job advert circulating on Facebook claims that USAID is hiring for several openings at the organisation.
Verdict: False. The job advert is fake, and USAID has not announced such a recruitment drive.
The job advert shared on Facebook claims that USAID is recruiting Interns, Assistant Livelihood Officer, Field Coordinator, Trainer of Trainees, Drivers, Customer Care Representatives, Trained Teachers, Registered Nurses, Journalists and Technical Support Officers.
The advert requests applicants to send their personal information to an outlook email; usaidke@outlook.com before 1st December 2024.
However, the advertisement is fake and does not belong to USAID.
Why is it fake?
USAID has not made any official announcement on conducting any such recruitment drive. Official job postings by USAID are only made via official website, verified social media platforms, or other authentic channels.
Additionally, the fake advert asks applicants to send personal information to an outlook email and an organisation like USAID does not use a free emailing service. According to the USAID website, all emails end with the prefix; @usaid.gov
In Uganda, all valid employment opportunities issued by USAID Uganda & other U.S. Agencies in Uganda are found on the US Embassy Kampala website.
Conclusion: The job advert circulating on Facebook claiming that USAID is hiring for several openings at the organisation is FAKE.
