i was once sent for a job, as an admin assistant in a taxi firm, they wanted me to rebuild their computers, from hardware up, be on the microphone, effectively run the office, and they asked for me to do a work trial (where i work for them for nothing, so they can see if they like me) i think it was a scam. me to do the work for nothing, then we dont like you and your gone..
here temp agencies can get benefits for each person on their books. i am on 9 job agencies, yes 9, i phone them most days, but the person dealing with it. isnt there or on the phone, can i call back tomorrow so i phone and sorry the job is gone.
and i who have the qualifications, the experience the genetic inheritence. (mum and dad were both admins so was my brother), i am damned good at admin work. but thy want degreed people

Voltaire said: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
H.L.Mencken wrote:"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.â€
