Warning:

Do not pay or bribe for a job, because the same person you bribed may later use that offense against you as blackmail for continuous benefits. No matter how desperate you are, please be cautious about where interviews are held, and inform someone about where you are going for your safety. Jobface verifies posts, but that does not mean you should let your guard down.
