Yes, I got hit bad at my local car service station.
Not only did I get my car inspection and an oil change, but I needed tires and an alignment.
In a blink of an eye, nearly $700 is down the drain.
And right after hearing this bad news, I received a message in my email, which kind of references my blog entry from yesterday.
I posted the following on Facebook, and it bears worth posting again:
"Zip Recruiter, Indeed and other job search sites are all unregulated scams.
They post jobs that don't exist, to get companies to take out contracts with them.
It happened at my last job, when an opening was posted ... while we were about two weeks away from going out of business.
My son applied for a recently posted position, and in what has happened countless times before, although the job site communicated that his resume was "looked at" three times, this is the message that we just received:
'I wanted to let you know that xxx has closed or temporarily put the xxx position on hold.
Meanwhile, we can focus our energy on getting you other opportunities. Check out these similar jobs I think you’d be a good fit for:'
THE JOB NEVER EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT IS JUST A PLOY TO GET A COMPANY TO TAKE OUT A JOB CONTRACT WITH THEM.
And the same job site advertised another job for a local business that I know has been closed at least six months ... in the dead Sunrise Mall, no less.
Beware these sites. They are nothing but scams.
My son has done everything he can do to get a job, but as a special needs person, and with these bogus sites, IT HAS BECOME IMPOSSIBLE."
"Impossible" is the operative word here.
Nobody helps, nobody cares, and we are getting nowhere with his job search.
And then, you have these companies which abuse unwitting job seekers with bogus offers.
Applying via the Internet is a negative to begin with, but when you have companies advertising jobs that don't not exist ...
IMPOSSIBLE.
So you wonder why I might go to my high school reunion ... not to meet up with people I never knew to begin with, but to use the occasion as an avenue to get my son's resume out to those who might be able to help him.
IMPOSSIBLE.
IMPOSSIBLE.
IMPOSSIBLE.
Again I ask, can anybody out there help my son?
He desperately needs a guardian angel, and for people like him, they seem to be in very short supply.
