My Job Bridge software development experiences... My experience is that companies place job bridges adverts for software developers and in one interview I attended, the company said they really only wanted someone to so IT support and also wanted someone speaking French ( for European support). No mention of that in the advert (i.e they didn't want the person to do actual software development) . I have a lot of software development ability and knowledge but can't get my foot on the ladder. I already did a Java Fas course and passed the Java Certification Professional exam. But I already had 10 years of development enterprise knowledge. The problem is when your longer term unemployed and get into your 40's, companies are only interested in younger grads. I am even told directly this by recruiters, I used to ring them up and apply for junior development positions, but now I know they have my CV on file, but they don't want to contact me. |

Jump To Comment: 1Hey thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm also in a similar position and also believe
jobsbridge is being totally abused to find cheap IT fill ins by companies too cheap to employ somebody.
It is undermining the jobs market and damaging real jobs rather than getting people into them.
They just want brain slaves that will work at sophisticated tasks and do so for peanuts or nothing
and thasnk them for the enslavement.
At least under actual slavery, slaves knew they were slaves, resented it and stood up
to their slave masters.
It sickens me to have to give total strangers my whole life story and personal details (for them to do as they wish with) in a CV so they will consider giving me some shitty second rate badly paid job. It's demeaning. I'm the skilled and smart talented professional not them. They should come to ME if things were sensible.
Today, slaves are supposed to feed and provide for themselves, Then somehow turn up to do the slave work every day
having trained themselves out of their own pocket. through great perseverance, work, time and expense. And then kiss their bosses ass and be grateful for their slavery. How times have changed. I prefer the original slavery in a way. At least it was honest and you knew exactly where you stood. "challenging and fulfilling career in IT" my ass. Its all such a con.
