Its November...I'm faced with a new enemy...the economy and how it operates
Since Completing NS I've been trying to get a job that traditionally would pay me $1800,
8 hr work day & 1 hr break with 14 days MC, 60 days hospitalization leave dental benefits and other related work benefits...to no avail...
Sadly, alot had changed in the 2 years that i have been conscripted...
Before NS in 2010, i could still find jobs that was 'traditional' for diploma holders
After NS in 2012 it had become impossible.
Ok where do we start...PAY!
It used to be, that diploma holders would be paid $1800- as a standard market rate
Now its $1300~$1400
It used to be, how well your skills and qualifications are
and how done up your resume is
and how you perform in your job interview
that would determine getting a job or not
Now its more abt your connections
and ppl you know
and networks you have that can land you in a job
OR how much you are willing to compromise in terms of pay, treatment, work hours etc.
Why are such things are happening?
I'm still trina get my mind around it and am almost there...
next post i guess...
