I can not honestly say that I have ever really had a good experience with employment agencies, but the worst experience I had was with this agency in Dublin, Ohio(if you want to know the name of the agency, please email me privately). The first time I heard about them was when I was a student at DeVry University, they were highly recommended for placing people(or as they say now, "candidates") into positions in IT. well, the first time I went there, the recruiter told me about a company that was looking for a tech support supervisor, and had not yet found one that he wanted to hire, even the recruiter didn't know what exactly the ...  Read the complete review

Like many other people, I have been made redundant. Twice. The first time, I had all the assurances that it was nothing that I did or didn't do, that I'm a wonderful employee and even better person, and that 'when one door closes another opens' and other handy yet oh-so-annoying cliches. I hated the job. They paid me off. I should be happy, right? I should have seen it coming, no? Well, I wasn't happy, and yes, I should have seen it coming (I was bored to tears), and true, I did take it personally. After all, I'm the main wage earner - I'm supporting myself, my daughter and my husband. Of course I was upset. But, hey, life goes on. I got another ...  Read the complete review

I thought I would write about my days on the dole and the days when I work, this might help students and to realise it's not just them who's poor. It's only done light heartedly so no offence. Here are my Top Ten Frugal Tips. 1* Stay in bed most of the day so I didn't have to put the gas fire on. I lived for a while in a tiny bedsit in Manchester and prefered to go out drinking, so I could save the money for beer. The gas was by meter and so was the electric, I would sometimes have to call the meter man out as coins would get stuck, then the poor man would take pity on me and slide back a few pound coins into the meter giving me a ...  Read the complete review

I wonder how many of us were bullied as children at school and couldn't wait to grow up so that it would stop. How many people reading this have suffered from bullying in the workplace? Despite what you may think, workplace bullying is not as rare as you would expect. Bullying happens in many forms, by many different people. It is not strictly done by any particular sex, or by someone of a particular age, or by people of particular backgrounds. The one thing that bullies do have in common is cowardice. That they have to resort to putting others down in order to lift themselves up. I myself have recently left a job where my line manager was ...  Read the complete review
