Have You Found A Job Yet?

Who uses blogger? Nobody l know... Its not anonymous... 

I am sure nobody is going to read my posts... 

No l have not found a job, I have been looking since May 2017.  No job... What's new? 

I had initially planned to write about my current job, but l was warned against that.

I am still looking for a better job. So l can talk about that.

Tips, observations, advise, whatever it may be...

Its hard finding work.

Actually l am not making much progress...

I have been trying a variety of methods... Nothing seems to work...

Oh! Wait l am using the Internet... That does not work.

I am going to discuss my continuing job search, what l have been doing in the past few years.

What l have learned, and what l advise against.

I have profiles on various online job websites.

Since registering l have made little progress... finding work.

I send out many online CV's and l get nothing but false promises in return.

So l decided to tell everybody about what has happened.

I am hoping (the caveat being that nobody reads blogs anymore) that others will not fall for their spider webs.

It will be curt. It will be based on fact. It will be what it is. Nothing less and nothing more.

Hope to get the conversation going.

Employment Agencies: Online "Automatic Answering Machines" or "Robots"

Yes lets talk about Robots... Not the South African kind - those are just plan traffic signals... Look l am no techie, but this is what l know, and l would like you to take care... out there, on the "WWW"... Online jobs are fake. We really need to stop going to online websites looking for jobs. I spent about six months of my life, dedicated, to sending CV's out online, adapting them and rewriting them to "fit" the HR company's requests, and then posting these "new CV's" to online job boards, for "specific" jobs. It never ends, l think l may have rewritten my CV on countless occasions, to fit the "profile" advertised. I believe during that six month period, l sent over 1000 CV's (that is no joke), and l got a handful of positive replies, in the two dozen, followed by five "interviews". What l have learned is that these online employment websites are engaged in essentially fraudulent practices, the jobs they a...

Lombard Luxembourg online job application or not?

Yes l am still applying online, in Luxembourg of all places; ADEM the national agency instructed me to apply on line... Its been nearly six months ans l am becoming surer by the minute that this job hunt is a waste of time. Something intesting happened today, l applied for an entry level job with Lombard, an insurance company which reprsents itself as a financial services provider. Well within three hours my application was rejected. So l wrote an email stating, that l think it was a fake job offer, and asked whom l had to pay for a job. That is another story in Luxembourg. So Jobs.lu, which is based in Belgium phones my mother, with a blank or hidden phone number and shouted at her, telling her that l should not make idle threats as l would be black listed, and they don't hire arabs, as the phone came from the middle east. This is racist ofcourse, but more concerning, appart from data mining, the nature of the threats. This social media job hunting industry is very sensitive... T...

Forgive the abscence.

Indeed it has been a while! Nearly four months, and much has taken place during those interceding months. After considerable thought, l have decided, to post a few of the events that may be of general interest. The first topic l wish to discuss concerns the untrustworthy nature of online "job adverts". The second topic l want to discuss concerns online job portals / sites, and the discovery of one that actually works! Then followed by other topics.
