🔹These companies are not run by the University of Toronto;
🔹The accuracy of the material taught by them is not guaranteed;
🔹Your tutor cannot write any part of your assignment — or you risk being in violation of the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters: http://academicintegrity.utoronto.ca #UofT posted Job fraud is on the rise! Searching for a summer job or a full-time career? Be aware — not all jobs are legitimate. Here are a few tips to protect you from job fraud.
Exercise caution around:
👉 Jobs that require no or little experience but pay well
👉 Job offers you did not apply for
👉 Companies that require you to pay a fee or expect you to shell out your own cash, for example to set up an office or buy stock
👉 Job postings that contain misspellings or grammatical errors, or when the company website does not match the address on the job postings
👉 Recruiters who don’t use company email addresses but instead use free email addresses, for example, @gmail.com, @yahoo.ca, @hotmail.com
Verify the company’s legitimacy:
👉 Check to see that the job is posted on the company’s website (career page)
👉 Search company’s LinkedIn profile
👉 Google search (company name + scam)
When applying for a position, never share your personal information, such as:
👉 Bank account or credit card details
👉 SIN number
👉 Copy of your student ID card, driver’s license, or passport

The four phases of mentorship
These resources are designed for current peer mentors or staff, faculty, or students who are running or developing mentoring programs.
Mentorship is a learning relationship between two or more people, and it typically follows four phases:
- Preparing: the discovery phase, when you find out if mentorship is right for you.
- Negotiating: the business phase, when you help your mentee set learning goals.
- Enabling growth: the work phase, when you support and provide feedback to your mentee.
- Coming to closure: the assessment stage, where you assess the value of your mentoring relationship and move forward.
