exhibition coordinator

Global Convention Services Ltd · Victoria, BC · $29.50 hourly

Verdict

Global Convention Services Ltd is a legitimate, established company (founded 1989) with a reachable website, confirmed Victoria office, and active careers section. The job posting is detailed and well-structured with comprehensive responsibilities, qualifications, and support programs. However, the posting requests physical mail applications to a Saint John, NB address despite the role being in Victoria, BC, which is a minor inconsistency that slightly elevates fraud risk.
