(although we very rarely get anything from them).
Which supports my story about the job centre. I mean, it happens very often you shake hands with a young lady behind the desk, you ask if there are any jobs in a specific type of branch and 9 out of 10 times you hear something like this;
''Let's see.. *click* *click-click* *click* *click* *click* Hmmm.. Construction work you said? *click* *click-click* *click* *click* *click* Yeah.. Uhm.. *click* *click-click* *click* *click* *click*
I have a job for you in Belgium. No? Yes, that's a bit far away isn't it? Alright.. *click* *click-click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click-click* *click* *click* *click* Ah.. Well, I have something very different for you but it's a job..
Would you like to this job?''
Me: Sure!
Young lady behind the desk: Okay, contact the agency and let me know when they've hired you alright?
Me: Uhm.. Miss.. I just came from the very same agency, are you sure?
Young lady behind the desk: Yes, I'm sure..
Me: *sigh* Alright..
Me: Going back to the agency (From which I just came from but you'll just have to prove that they have nothing for you don't you?)
So repeat this ritual a hundred times and you'll understand where I'm coming from..
But, it's commendable your company puts adverts in the local papers, some people might read the papers and actually get a fair chance!
We're cool, and this is for your company!
