Sixth Review
My sixth review was my first review for 2017 and a rather short one. After wishing my a Happy New Year, my job adviser told me that she had contacted the place where she had sent my C.V. and that she had contacted them again and was waiting on a reply back from them. She also said she would contact the other place I wanted to work at to see if she could get me work experience in that area. She made another appointment for my next review and give me her card with the next time and date of my next review and we said our goodbyes once more and I walked to the reception and signed out before walking down the stairs of the tower of misery.

Seetec Job Adviser Jobs Advertised €27,000.00 to €32,000.00 per year
There were job adviser jobs advertised for Letterkenny, Galway and Dundalk to name but a few.
As I said many times before on this blog the job advisers that work in Jobpath are nothing more than sales people. Some of the key responsibilities that were advertised in these jobs were.
In the Galway ad for an Employment Advisor, "Experience of working in a target orientated environment with a demonstrable track record of achieving and beating targets." In the Letterkenny ad is says "Experience of working in a target orientated environment with a demonstrable track record of achieving targets." That says it all really. It also says "Minimum of one-year experience in a recruitment, sales, training and or/customer facing role."
As a mater of fact the job advertisement in Galway for an "Irish Employment Adviser" had the following highlighted in black.
Minimum of one-year experience in a recruitment, sales, training and /or customer facing role and experience of working in a target orientated environment with a demonstrable track record of achieving and beating targets.
Note it says "track record of achieving and beating targets."

It also says Salary €27,000.00 to €32,000.00 /year that works out about €600 a week for a 40 hour week!! The job advisers only work Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm but yet the unemployed are being forced into low paid minimum wage jobs that only pay about €330 after tax and most are more than 40 hours a week and even then a person would not even get €400 a week.
If the job advisers are getting this kind of money then what kind of money are the managers on and who seem do nothing besides walk from one room to the next and stand here and stand there talking to people. A bit like the Richie Kavanagh song Up The Road where he sings about the Council men in their vans "They go up the road and down the road over the road and back the road An never touch no part of the road at all"
The fact that Seetec are looking for people that have experience of working in a target orientated environment with a demonstrable track record of achieving targets does not surprise me one bit as most of the people that work for Jobpath worked as managers or in sales in their previous jobs and some even worked both as a manager and in sales.
If you go into Linkedin https://ie.linkedin.com/ and type into the search box, People1st, Seetec, or Tuus, Jobpath, you will see a lot of the people who now work for Jobpath, that in their previous jobs that most have worked in either sales or were a manager and that some even worked in both sales and managing and now they are working for Jobpath. You can also register for free on the Linkedin website and browse if you so wish. All this information is there in the public domain and can be viewed by anyone.
Why do these job adviser jobs being advertised need people to have experience in sales and meeting targets?

In the ad above its says "Seetec is an equal opportunities employer and positively encourages applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity."
It's a pity its not an equal opportunities employer when it comes to the treatment of the unemployed!! Again the Salary for this one is the same as the Galway ad at €27,200 - 32,000 pa.
I notice in the job advert description it doesn't mention anything about having a lack of empathy
