At Sentara, one of our values is to keep you safe.
Sentara and many other companies across the US are being targeted by cyber criminals who are impersonating representatives of the company, claiming to have job offers. Sentara will never ask you for banking or personal identification information via email or text. We will never ask an applicant to pay money for training, supplies, or other so-called expenses. If you suspect you have received a fraudulent job offer, e-mail taadmin@sentara.com.
