Woodside Energy LinkedIn followers, please be aware that we have recently seen a spike in fraudulent job advertisements and LinkedIn profiles claiming to be from our Human Resources team. We are working to have these removed and ask you to report any suspicious looking posts or accounts to Woodside at gradcareers@woodside.com.au We have also seen offers of employment mailed to job seekers by individuals or organisations posing as Woodside. Importantly, communications about employment opportunities with Woodside will only ever be sent from email addresses ending in woodside.com.au or woodside.com. We will also never make unsolicited jobs offers or seek payment from job applicants. For more information about how to spot fraudulent Woodside recruitment activity, go to our careers page.
