Resolved Question: Hidden agendas of employment agencies?

Why do temping agencies advertise vacancies in local newspapers or with Jobcentreplus, etc, when the vacancies can easily be filled by their registered clients? For example, a position for a Warehouse Operative was recently advertised in a local newspaper. I'm sure the agency has plenty of registered clients who could easily fill that position. Could it be just a ploy to get more people on their books so that they can impress potential clients (employers) with how many job hunters they have registered with them. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Is it better to apply for a job advertised on a company's website or to go through a recruitment agent?

I saw a temp job advertised on a job board by a specialist (HR industry) recruitment agency. They'd changed the title slightly, but by looking at the skills being asked for / doing a bit of detective work, I was able to locate what was obviously the same job on the website of the client company (a very big one) only on a pemanent basis. I assume they must be looking for someone as a temp until they fill the slot? I'd actually be interested in either as I was recently made redundant. I know that many companies in my sector, and especially in London, prefer to use recruitment agents, despite there being a fee (ironic given I'm in HR). My question is, were I to post my CV directly to the company's website, is it less likely to be looked at than if a recruitment consultant put me forward? Do companies genuinely use their own recruitment sites at all or are they there "for show"? I've only ever made career moves with agencies to date and it seems the only way to get a job in London ...Perfect CV: thanks for your honesty. Recruiters are usually keen to put me forward for roles after meeting/talking to me: I come across well at interview, so they expand on my CV. However,I had a bad experience with one last year, hence my trepidation: this guy found my CV online, called me at work (he clearly googled it and called reception - very bad practice) then submitted my CV, which was a near perfect match for quite a niche HR role. After a couple of weeks he told me that I hadn't got through for interview. However, in the interim I had a couple of very professional agents, who I'd met, signed up with formally and trusted, call me re: the same role. Both were surprised to hear I hadn't got through, and suspected that this guy might not be on said company's contracted agencies list. She explained that as I'd already been put forward by this guy, I wouldn't be able to get the job unless it was through him, as he'd introduced me. You have to be careful ...Oh I just clicked - PSL means what I've called contracted agencies, right? Preferred Supplier List? (I'm in L&D, hence my unfamiliarity with recruitment jargon). more

Resolved Question: What websites can i use to advertise a property bought in the caribbean ?

I have recently purchased a home in Barbados. I need to find a website, or agency, that will advertise my home to potential people that may want to rent it out, for maybe: thier holiday, honey moon, or bussiness reasons. I need a website that is reliable, safe and secure. Somewhere that clients are able to view the property, select a date to rent out the property in barbados, and make a payment. Simple. Can you suggest websites ? because i beleive this will be the MAIN way that my property can be brought to other peoples attention. If not, can you suggest alternative methods ? Thanks more

Resolved Question: If you don't want to get rid of BPD?

I'm about to be diagnosed clinically with borderline personality disorder. It's not what I expected (I suspected I had bipolar disorder) but now knowing this, has raised some questions. The psychologist who seconded my psychiatrist's suspicion of my having BPD, told me a story about a client of his, a man with schizophrenia who had a great life and ran a successful advertising agency. What made it so successful, was his ability to use his psychosis to create works of art. The same goes up for me (although I'm more towards the neurotic side of BPD). I dissociate, and the emotions that I experience during those times, make for great insight when I write stories. Also, I've grown to like my "nutty" mood swings and impulsive behaviour, and I actually fear more to lose myself if I choose to have treatment, than I fear the disorder itself. Would it be a wise decision to choose not to get rid of BPD, if it doesn't influence your life in such as not being able to function as generally accepted on a day-to-day basis?Thank you all for answering, but honestly and with all due respect, it souonds like the first two have compeletely lost the whole point. I feel that I don't *want* to have treatment, simply because I like that little "mad" side about myself. It makes me different, stand out in the crowd - and it certainly manages to do that ^_^ I also strongly believe that there is no such thing as "normal". Everyone is unique, everyone is special. Even my psychiatrist said that BPD was a part of our "personality" - we are born with it. So why change it? That could easily be compared to the too-common plastic surgery; don't like your nose? No problem, we'll give you a new one. That's not how it works, you learn to live with your body, you learn to live with your mind. That aside, I like my disorder. Like I told the psychologist when he asked me about my dreams, my dissociation, my building dreams; I simply enjoy it. Where would we be without a little imagination? more
