JobLog Team starter: How can I verify a government job notice before applying?

Start with the recruiting organisation’s official website and locate the original notification, rather than relying only on a forwarded message or repost. Check the notice number, publication date, eligibility, age cut-off, fee, application dates, and official application link against that source. If details conflict, rely on the official notice and share its source link so others can verify the information. Check that the web address belongs to the organisation and watch for look-alike links. What do you check first when a new vacancy is announced?
