Jobs

[Bassi and Zainab 1]

I wanted to mention my husbands experience of going to labor ready to find work. They made him take a little test on a computer. He said sort of like a survey(does he use drugs, does he have a car, how did he get to the office that day and so on), not a test to see what he knows. The lady told him he's not qualified to work for them and he asked her how is that? She said, I am not the one who makes those decisions, it's our corporate office. She told him not to come back for 12 months to look for work with them. I was so pissed when he told me that, I wanted to go curse the lady out. Because, no offense or anything, but there are many drug addicts that work for them every day, who don't have cars or any job history to brag about. But some honest person looking to work, is turned away. But that's ok because by God's grace he has found a job at the airport. He is supposed to start tomorrow, maybe it's orientation, I don't know, he's just glad to say he's going to work.

I don't understand. You mean he went to the Departmen of Labor to get help finding work and they refused to help him?

Of course! As a matter of fact I work for a manufacturing company, and 100% of our hourly staff are hired through a Temp Agency.

That's good to know. I didn't know that.

I don't think what he went to is called Department of Labor. The company is called Labor Ready, I believe they have it in just about every state. It's a very well known company. Work today, pay today, kind of thing. I hope I answered the question.
