National Carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) has clarified a job advertisement dated October 10, 204 announcing mass recruitment for the airline.
The purported internal memo indicated that Kenya Airways was looking to hire qualified flight attendants, airline food service attendants, receptionists, booking clerks and security officers.
Additionally, the ad detailed that holders of at least a D+ in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) were qualified for the positions.
KQ has however in a statement flagged the circulated advertisement as fake, adding that it has been shared by malicious individuals.
“Please be aware that the message circulating on social media regarding job openings at Kenya Airways is FAKE and did not come from us,” stated the company.
The national carrier has asked job seekers to check for vacancies on the official website to avoid falling victim to fraud.
“For accurate and hiring information, always refer to our official website and channels,” added the statement.

How to Detect Fake Publications
One of the ways of detecting fake publications and notices is by establishing the source of the information.
The first step is to determine whether it comes from an official website, or a social media platform associated with a reputable organization.
A lot of fake publications try to appear like a real organization by using somewhat similar domain names or branding.
Additionally, many fake publications contain grammatical errors and other mistakes that genuine officials from government bodies are unlikely to make.
