I get job emails every day; none of them have any relevance whatsoever to me but I always have a look through in the vain hope that there will be something offered that would allow me to use my education...
I keep seeing a recurring pattern, though...
Two particular companies keep showing up under irrelevant searches and it seems a bit dodgy to me.
The first is MSG. They are a direct marketing company (door to door... see my PGT post for what I think of this type of company). But the thing is... instead of just advertising under sales, the advertise under bar work, customer service, retail sales assistant (door to door and shop work are completely different), and wait staff. So say I want to go back to bar work (I don't) so I search for bar jobs and I get direct marketing??? Hardly makes sense. If I wanted to walk the streets for little money and far too much crap, I would go looking for that directly.
Anyway.
Second company using dodgy practices - The Training Room. They want people to train to be fitness instructors. TRAIN to be fitness instructors. They offer a "Career Loan Scheme" in which they "pay" for your training and then you have to pay them back. How is that a job exactly? Also, they categorise wrong - graduate (I have not spent 8 years in higher education to tell sweaty people to shift their arses), customer service, insurance(!!!), and many more...
Am I missing something or can companies just do whatever the fuck they want these days?
Again, I don't think these companies should be allowed to exploit desperate jobseekers...
What would I know though...
