Re: Warning to those looking for jobs
Back when I was unemployed and just trying to find even a part time job to help get by, I would apply online for retail jobs in my area. I had to fill out these stupid personality profile assessments, for a fricking minimum wage job.

rant

But employers can get away with this because the economy is so bad, it's an employers market. Back during those horrible Bush years, when employment was 4.5%, they couldn't have pulled this shit!!
 Quoting: chuckles45


I don't understand people like you. Unemployment was good after Clinton balanced the budget and made a surplus. Bush spent the surplus, doubled the deficit, deregulated the banks and we had the worst crash since the great depression. Then Obama came in and people like you think Obama made unemployment go to 10% or whatever it is really.

Our economy has stablized although jobs have NOT returned to normal. Maybe Obama could do more, but we did manage to save the auto industry, the financial industry, avoid a complete melt down and reset (or worse).

Obama had the right idea, invest in NEW industries (solar, alternative energies). He may just be a bit too early. it's a long term strategy that we are not going to see the benefits of for 10-15 years at least.

We need something new that we can export otherwise we are going to lose out to China and elsewhere.

Well , my ex husband is 50 and still works regular 14 hour days , 9-5 jobs are for women , most British men don't want to work long hours as you stated yourself that 9-5 "chews up" most of your life.....get educated about Eastern Europeans before you start slagging them off , some of them are decent hard working people who are far more family orientated than the Brits......and for the record - I used to work 14 hours Saturday and Sunday , then 10-2 weekdays as I had a mortgage and 2 kids....my husband (now ex) worked 60 hours a week.......all our friends had the same kind of work ethic....so my friend I think you are just plain lazy !


HaHa this is hilarious! So your view of life is: working as many hours as you can; taking as much stress onboard as you can; exhaust yourself 14 hours per day for some prick in a shirt and tie who does very little other than bark commands at you all day; have absolutely no time to relax and actually ENJOY your life or spend time with your family?

You must definitely be Eastern European.

I tell you, life should be fair... we fought in this country to make things fair. Yes I agree that you must work for a living, but live to work? Sorry take your commie Slavic slave ethic back to Poland with you.

When UKIP are elected into power, your commie asses are getting sent straight back to the Eastern Bloc.


Oh and for the record, Ms Slav, how can Eastern Europeans be more family orientated than Brits when all they want to do is slave away 14 hours per day? You'd have no time to see your kids because you'd be so exhausted.

And that mortgage you speak of, would that be the dirt cheap mortgage you have to pay on your home back in Poland from the wages you earn from your British job?

If you love working so hard and so long for a pittance, then why did you even bother leaving your own country?

Re: Warning to those looking for jobs
I just wanted to give anyone who is looking for work a heads up. I have two jobs currently, one in the Maritime Industry that is a great job, but the pay is awful and one as a bookkeeper for several LLC's that's boring but pays very well. I have been looking for a full time job in the Maritime Industry that pays well as a Martitime/Vessel Coordinator. I fill out applications whenever I have time.

I finally got a response from a big company and spent two hours filling out all of the remaining paperwork. Then I got a phone call from them about an interview. I was very excited but then I realized that the caller was some sort of Middle Eastern. You guys know how much I love Muzz. So, I contacted the main recruiters on Linked In by searching for the company. Turns out it was all B.S.. The sucky part is that they now have all of my info. Except for my SS#. Thank God.

So be careful even if it looks legit. The application even had the name of the company all over it. Nicely done. I am looking forward to their phone call, I have a lot to say. None of it is lady like. So, everyone check and double check before you fill out anything.
 Quoting: Etta


This story is all too common now in the UK, and people are FORCED into applying to these sharks who just want to take your data, some try to scam you, it's a joke, it's equivicol, to being made to walk the plank looking for work in the UK now, why the fuck are the same advertising standards and regs applied to employment, no real jobs anymore
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55365903


Absolutely. These scamming bastards actually advertise these bogus jobs on universal jobmatch, and the government don't even other to check if the company is legit or not. It's like they're saying, 'You must apply for the jobs on our system, they may result in your data being stolen for fraudulent purposes, but tough shit'.

And all the while, more eastern europeans flood in to the country stealing every damn job in sight, and the government turn a blind eye to it all.

I haven't even had a single reply since being out of work since September, even though I have been applying multiple times per day, every day since. As soon as they see my British name on my CV, it is, 'Fuck you and goodbye'.

Same goes for so called Training centres, who are often illegal & not even qualified to teach, never alone issue out a pass certificate. I got ripped off by a lorry (truck) driver training company. Others I went for were for electrical & plumbing etc, but they turned out to be fly by night bogus, who seem to have good enough solicitors to keep them from being prosecuted. Only the BBC's Watchdog has had some success stories with dodgy trainers & employers, but is very rare. I'm pissed off that the authorities allow these unqualified criminals to have a licence to train. Terrible.

"Just a bad deal. They seem very legit, but since I discovered that they were in Nigeria...probably nothing can be done. Others have fallen for this as well"

Hey, don't paint all Nigerians with a black brush.

Three weeks ago I received an official looking letter from a Nigerian petro company. Seems an estranged uncle of ours made some good investments and we're going to be in some money.

Last week, I spoke to a big mucky-muck at the petro company and ironed-out some details. A great guy and he made it all very easy (toughest thing I had to do was give him my bank account number and some personal information - duh, real hard, right?). Within two weeks I should have a nice piece of change.

So, please, don't disparage all Nigerians because of few bad agbalomos. The guys working with me couldn't have been nicer (even gave me a nickname, 'Magas'). Have a little faith, people. You attract what you put out. Capice?

Feeling so good I'm going to play the numbers tongiht; Old lucky 419

Re: Warning to those looking for jobs
Oh, wow!

Thanks for the heads up warning! I had not thought about this but can see how it would certainly give all your pertinent information to the wrong people.

.
 Quoting: Bluebird


Some Tips for Applications:

Never give up social security no., but if you are told you MUST, make one of the numbers wrong/inverted...after you've securely LANDED THE POSITION, you can 'correct' that...

ALWAYS demand a 'physical' location of where the 'company headquarters' is based out of, and a telephone number.

Make sure you obtain a CONTACT PERSON'S FIRST & LAST NAME & TITLE who has been with the 'company' for a long time.

Keep in mind YOU are also INTERVIEWING THEM. Even though you can't get as much "personal information" about the people individually, you can gain leverage by doing your homework BEFORE you fill something out...

(If contemplating purchasing something online, when I call that advertised '800' number, they immediately ask for my personal info; however, I ALWAYS tell them I've already got the merchandise and need to talk to CUSTOMER SERVICE...once you get THAT number, you can find out WHERE those folks are operating out of...and obtain a PERMANENT physical address/contact person/CEO/President's name, etc.)

There is NO LAW saying you HAVE to write your name exactly how it's spelled on your B.C. Get creative. Tweek your name. Hyphenate it. Use names that are HARD to trace back to you if you find out people are SCAMMING...Better yet, muslimify the damn thing... : - )

 Quoting: Etta

Hi, Etta :)

You know I'm probably the last person to connect the dots in any way on anything and not because I'm particualary stupid, just naive...

But imagine this:

Most of our "homeland security" has now gone private. Those offering us security are paid via private companies who claim to be dedicated to fighting terrorist groups abroad and at home. Erm... right.

But what if those companies are in league with the terrorists? What if they are the terrorists? I'm not limiting this to just muslims, as they are an easy enough group to use when certain means to an end are needed, but they put a face on a problem that most people are "familiar" with.

Profiting from securing Americans by way of terrorizing them by means of creating the problem and then selling the solution. Ugh. How vile.

Thank you for the heads up. I swear we have woken up on the wrong planet or in another time and dimension. This can't be the place of my birth.
 Quoting: Éireann


"...our homeland security has now gone private...paid via private companies..."

Do you have any anecdotal evidence for this claim?

The DHS is a branch of the federal government.

If they are (also) "private"
there should be a list,
or data base
that sheds some light on that...

Or are you guestimating entities such as 'The Craft'?

intrusive indeed. another frightening intrusion is everyones insistence people 'SIGN' for this and that.
A signature represents a LEGAL BINDING CONTRACT and/or AGREEMENT...

The crypto-jews who fled france under the guise of being catholics NEVER SIGNED SHIT.

They played "dumb" and claimed they could NOT sign their name...everyone, EVERYONE wrote: " X "

Lesson to be learned with this.

Our dispositions (meaning our work ethic/morals/scruples/honesty)
IS BEING USED AGAINST US NOW...

Criminals, criminal enterprises, uncouth business people, cryptic shell corps., ALL OF THEM USE SUPTERFUGE...

The safest game to play now (even though it goes against every fiber of our being) is to:

FUDGE
FUDGE
FUDGE

You can always go back later to 'clean up' your mistakes; once your WHOLE FREEKIN LIFESTORY IS IN THE HANDS OF OTHERS you CANNOT TAKE THAT BACK!!!!!

As an employer of lots of people in several countries, I find it absurd that you make these stupid comments.

You Brits made your bed, you lie in it.

In the 90s there was plenty of work going, but you middle-class wankers all considered MENIAL work too beneath you to do.

I know LOTS of businesses who could NOT find local workers to do any physical menial work, including working in bars and restaurants.

So OF COURSE that work is going to go to people who don't mind the work or the pay - ie Polish and other eastern european immigrants.

The same problem has happened here in Australia - the spoilt middle-class generation doesn't want to do actual work - so the work goes to others.


So DON'T say that your jobs were STOLEN - you spoilt brats just didn't WANT the work.


And for what it is worth, I'd employ an 'immigrant' over a local in the UK ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!

WHY?

Because they work harder, they turn up on time with all their gear, they are more honest, they care about having their job, and they appreciate being employed. And guess what - I look after them too.


My advice to you whiny EX-middle-class wankers is to get real, get your hands dirty, and stop complaining about everything you think you are entitled to, but don't have.

At the bank I worked at, when you posted for a different position, offshore reps reviewed your resume and personal info prior to the hiring manager getting them. I believe most of the HR dept is now offshore. Great, foreigners thousands of miles away have all the personal info of every employee including ssn's.

One screening technique being used by large businesses is doing a credit check. If you got poor credit they don't want you.

Absolutely. These scamming bastards actually advertise these bogus jobs on universal jobmatch, and the government don't even other to check if the company is legit or not. It's like they're saying, 'You must apply for the jobs on our system, they may result in your data being stolen for fraudulent purposes, but tough shit'.

And all the while, more eastern europeans flood in to the country stealing every damn job in sight, and the government turn a blind eye to it all.

I haven't even had a single reply since being out of work since September, even though I have been applying multiple times per day, every day since. As soon as they see my British name on my CV, it is, 'Fuck you and goodbye'.

I wish someone would explain how Eastern Europeans "steal" jobs......surely it would be harder to find work if language was a problem? - The fact that they can come here and take jobs makes them better I would say.....they have a different work ethic and will do that extra shift whereas the Brits want to have their "weekend" or need some time off.....time to wake up and smell the coffee methinks and instead of moaning about them , maybe take a leaf from their books !!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55167225


Yes, indeed, it is called the Slavic or rather 'slave ethic'. We Brits fought for our rights in the work market so that we wouldn't be exploited by unscrupulous fat cats who would be happy to see us back in the Victorian sweatshops working our fingers to the bone for an absolute pittance - only for them to profit from our misery.

The Eastern Europeans are nothing but drones who will work all of the hours god sends because they value work more than actually living. Sorry if you think I'm lazy and have 'poor work ethic', but the 9-5 chews up enough of our lives as it is, and here are these bastards coming here and making working conditions much worse... yet so much better for the CEO's. Soon the laws will be changed to working 14 hours per day at £2.80 per hour, if you don't like it, then tough shit because the Eastern European slaves LOVE it.

So, no I wont take a leaf from their books, when UKIP get in, they're out on their drone asses.

Well , my ex husband is 50 and still works regular 14 hour days , 9-5 jobs are for women , most British men don't want to work long hours as you stated yourself that 9-5 "chews up" most of your life.....get educated about Eastern Europeans before you start slagging them off , some of them are decent hard working people who are far more family orientated than the Brits......and for the record - I used to work 14 hours Saturday and Sunday , then 10-2 weekdays as I had a mortgage and 2 kids....my husband (now ex) worked 60 hours a week.......all our friends had the same kind of work ethic....so my friend I think you are just plain lazy !

And after all that slavery, what do you have to show for it? A piss poor slave mentality that working for someone else gives you value.

Re: Warning to those looking for jobs
I just wanted to give anyone who is looking for work a heads up. I have two jobs currently, one in the Maritime Industry that is a great job, but the pay is awful and one as a bookkeeper for several LLC's that's boring but pays very well. I have been looking for a full time job in the Maritime Industry that pays well as a Martitime/Vessel Coordinator. I fill out applications whenever I have time.

I finally got a response from a big company and spent two hours filling out all of the remaining paperwork. Then I got a phone call from them about an interview. I was very excited but then I realized that the caller was some sort of Middle Eastern. You guys know how much I love Muzz. So, I contacted the main recruiters on Linked In by searching for the company. Turns out it was all B.S.. The sucky part is that they now have all of my info. Except for my SS#. Thank God.

So be careful even if it looks legit. The application even had the name of the company all over it. Nicely done. I am looking forward to their phone call, I have a lot to say. None of it is lady like. So, everyone check and double check before you fill out anything.

This story is all too common now in the UK, and people are FORCED into applying to these sharks who just want to take your data, some try to scam you, it's a joke, it's equivicol, to being made to walk the plank looking for work in the UK now, why the fuck are the same advertising standards and regs applied to employment, no real jobs anymore

As an employer of lots of people in several countries, I find it absurd that you make these stupid comments.

You Brits made your bed, you lie in it.

In the 90s there was plenty of work going, but you middle-class wankers all considered MENIAL work too beneath you to do.

I know LOTS of businesses who could NOT find local workers to do any physical menial work, including working in bars and restaurants.

So OF COURSE that work is going to go to people who don't mind the work or the pay - ie Polish and other eastern european immigrants.

The same problem has happened here in Australia - the spoilt middle-class generation doesn't want to do actual work - so the work goes to others.


So DON'T say that your jobs were STOLEN - you spoilt brats just didn't WANT the work.


And for what it is worth, I'd employ an 'immigrant' over a local in the UK ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!

WHY?

Because they work harder, they turn up on time with all their gear, they are more honest, they care about having their job, and they appreciate being employed. And guess what - I look after them too.


My advice to you whiny EX-middle-class wankers is to get real, get your hands dirty, and stop complaining about everything you think you are entitled to, but don't have.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55492678


HaHa! You mean Mr Immigrant will bust his balls for a pittance and save your business lots of money; Mr Immigrant will be your personal robot and let you squeeze every last bit of juice out of him because he's a spineless cunt with no self worth.

I notice the way YOU don't do the work Mr Immigrant does... instead you look for slaves to make you a profit so that you can go buy your trophy whore of a wife some new jewelry and more food for you to get fatter and fatter like the fat twat cat you are.

It always makes me laugh when shirt n tie pen pushers like you accuse others of having no work ethic when people like you are the most bone idle people around, hence, 'You need others to do the work that you are too fucking bone idle to do yourself'.

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

...That is because the term slave is derived from the word Slav and therefore reserved for the fucking slave race.

Not to sound rude, but that's what you get for doing things online instead of at the establishment or corporate office.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55507864


A lot of jobs only accept applications online. I think they have all that pre screening in place so they can eliminate people before they ever see a HR person, just based on background checks, pysche evaluations, etc., this reduces their exposure to discrimination lawsuits. If you only ever interacted with a machine, it's hard to accuse the machine of prejudice.
