2 job applications down, 1 to go. Yeah that's right 1 to go. Not as lazy as you think am I. One thing I feel I need to mention is that in compiling these applications, it struck me just how different they all are, when inevitably, they are all after the same thing. So much red tape, and bureaucracy. Things could be so much easier, especially in the current economic climate. For far too long Prospective employers have ruled the roost, have fed the status quo, have designed processes and procedures, to inevitably employ people so that when business starts to slow down a bit they can make people redundant at the drop of a hat. Maybe if they redesigned their recruitment processes they would employ the right people in the first place and therefore not put themselves in a position of losing business and peoples jobs and livelyhoods.

Yet with all this loss of business and loss of jobs, Employers still look to employ people that will offer all hearted loyalty to them. Why why why should we show loyalty to these jokers. They never show any loyalty back do they.

So how would I do it. I can't really sit here and complain about the current system, without an idea of putting it right. What I will say, is that I haven't completely thought this through 100%, and I'm definitely not going to say that this will at all work. I'll be the first to admit that there are more holes in this method than there are in Rab C Nesbitt's vest. But what i'd like to see is the prospective employees interviewing the employers. Please explain why I should want to come and work for you. Ask not what I can do for you but what you can do for me. This should be the credo that all employers should strive for. And if that doesn't work, We should make employers carry out a self styled "Battle Royale", a fight to the death. Whichever employer is left standing that's who I'll work for. They obviously wanted me more, therefore I want them... I honestly think it could work. Especially in the Banking sector...... Who's with me... Vote for change.. Ha Ha.

Talent can be a strange thing and can manifest itself in so many different ways. For those of you that think you don't have a talent, I will say only this. " Yes you do, you just haven't found it yet, when you do find it, whatever it may be, embrace it and nurture it"

Tomorrow is a new day, for me it's the interview with the Job Center..... Bye Bye Pride......
