There are both people who realise you have to make life for yourself and people who think that a job should just be handed to them on a plate.
True, but most just won't get the opportunity.
Reality: Employer needs workers immedeately. - Employer calls the agency. - The agency calls Polish workers and instructs them. - Polish workers come.
While most British, Dutch, German or French blokes wonder why the agencies always tell them there's no work? Nothing gets handed to you on a silver platter. Sure, a few spoiled people will think this way, but the truth is that most local workers are getting pushed off the markets by these half-foreign agencies.
I gathered that ;)
Sorry, it's just that I've heard so much negative talk about a lot of honest and hard wroking craftsmen (And women!) already.
I'm doing a bit better now..
I am aware there are unemployed British folk who would take any job to get themselves started on the career ladder. It's not them I'm talking about at all.
For example, my company advertise some of these low paid jobs and truly, it's not British people who are coming for the interviews...(others may advertise these posts and have many British people for interviews but that is not my experience).
That's admirable, most companies don't advertise, they just call their agencies (Companies often have contracts with such agencies, which almost automatically excludes local workers from getting hired.) But alright, before I give you a reply I'd like to ask you a question first: Where and how does your company advertise?
