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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Today... Today is an important day... I always like it, when people sit and wait for me... And when I finally arrive, they sing in chorus "We, have being waiting for you" I always feel that I am different from the crowd... I always want to look different wearing something funky...and making fashion statements ...  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.

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 ...  Read the complete review

God hates university students. He hates us worse than the giant panda, the French Canadians, and English lorry drivers. And a French Canadian lorry driver shipping giant pandas through Old Blighty. That's hate. And how does this pertain to employment services? Because the availability for employment services for university students, at ...  Read the complete review

It’s the start of 2003, which means that many students across the country will be starting to think about jobs. Not long to go before the exams now kids – the time will fly. Scary. A new job for a new year may also be on the agenda for many others in employment also. Being a student who is currently trying to work out what to ...  Read the complete review

You?ve just been made redundant. It is like a bolt from the blue. How will you cope until you get another job? Redundancy is a stressful time for anyone, it rates up there on those stress charts along with moving home and the like. I have been made redundant twice in the last year.

The goverment have requested that by 2005 50% of staff working in the care industry will need to be qualified. Well this is very well and good but who really wants to goe to college because they want to be a carer, I certainly would not have choosen to become a carer. My experience with people I know who have been carers is ...  Read the complete review

Unlike the other opinions in this category, this is aimed more at those nearer to the grave than the cradle, although hopefully still some way from the former! My subject here is Early Retirement. I'm not going to give you loads of Financial Planning advice, since the current pension arrangements seem to be like trying to ...  Read the complete review

This is a subject close to my heart right now and I will add a lot of my feelings to it. My employment record isn't that exciting, perhaps because of my age and being a student, but I will let you into my life! I got my first ever job at 15. It was working in the local chippy over the weekends and sometimes during the week. I ...  Read the complete review

It makes me so angry every time I hear that the government has done ever so well and managed to reduce unemployment drastically again! They have done nothing of the sort. There are not more jobs out there, there are less. What they have done, is make it so incredibly difficult to sign on that fewer people are bothering. This is ...  Read the complete review

One of the things I really appreciated when I worked for Walsall MBC was the flexible working hours that they brought in, so I thought I’d tell you about the system so you can look out for it when you’re job hunting! When I first started as the office junior, 30 years ago (!), we all worked the same hours from 9.00 until 17.36 ...  Read the complete review

Years ago at the age of 14, my school arranged for all students in my year (year 10) to have 2 weeks work experience to discover what the world of work was like exactly. Some students chose to arrange where they worked themselves but like me, others let the school do all the work. I was quite happy to find out that I would be working at a ...  Read the complete review

Has any body noticed the way the goverment has slowly but surely made it impossible for disabled people to find and keep employment? 'A strong statement', I hear you say. Indeed, let me explain. Having being 'A Disabled Person' for most of my life, I have struggled from one job to another not knowing if my health would hold out ...  Read the complete review
