[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1071758, member: 56232"] I was fortunate in that I had 2 offers as a civil engineer after being made redundant at the end of the furlough period but I was prepared to move a long way to get it. The only offer I got locally was taking the ****. It's ridiculous to make such demands as it's a highly inefficient use of people's resources to force overly qualified people into crappy jobs, and I say that as someone who was working as a KP in a pub whilst holding a masters degree in engineering... I can understand when you have people with no skills who are work shy and try to sponge the system but it's the typical position of portraying the few who do that as a massive problem and then harming everyone else in retaliation, especially when you look at how easily they gave up hunting down the Covid fraud. I'd say 3 months is a reasonable amount of time and if you haven't had anything after that 3 months, you should be able to meet someone and explain your skills, what you are looking for and why you haven't found anything. I remember reading a study somewhere where they did the opposite and gave people more money and more leeway when job searching. The result? Same levels of employment but more people [U]suitably[/U] employed in work that was a better match for their skillset. I think it's like with drugs and prison policy, a certain segment care more about seeing perceived wrong-doers punished and don't give a damn about the collateral damage or how ineffective it is rather than doing what gives the best results.
