This is what happened to my profession?

faralos:
Of course not!
 Seems no one wants to hire a person who hasn't worked since Jan of 2011
I am so depressed today due to no one ever calling me back on ANY job interview
thanks though...

Itchigo:
To be honest, I didn't expect much, due to your physical condition. Jobs like that beat the shit out of you.

I was depressed, I wanted to leave Marshall's more than life itself, and I got NO calls back- and I have skills too! I made one lead happen, and missed by one candidate- Director Of Operations.... I'd have been the HEAD  of the plant with 70 workers under me. Still pissed about that one...... :Banghead:

faralos:
can't be just my condition as I also applied to Mascaro and sons
 a garbage hauling company to operate a front end loader garbage truck'
 and they have not called back either
 all I had to do was drive the damn truck around Philly to empty dumpsters
NO handling at all involved but they also didn't call back with an answer
I am at a loss as to why no one is calling back with jobs
it's getting scary now since I don't know the reason why no one is calling back or hiring me
 as I still have NO income at all my gal is footing ALL my bills
and that is depressing enough

Itchigo:
All I can say is follow up! Call and ask if you can- if they're still interested.

Another driver comes up, and shows me a phone with and address on the screen. I say "yes, you're in the right place, go through that gate to dock 18". He looks puzzled. I say it again. He still looks puzzled, so I say "follow me, I'm going there". He still doesn't understand. After a minute or two, he finally gets it. I look at the driver I was talking to before, and say "see, THAT'S why we can't get a decent wage anymore". He's driving a tractor trailer, and doesn't know ANY english!! Sure, basic things like stop signs are universal, but what about detours, and things you actually have to READ!

So this is how low my profession has sunk. We take anyone and put them behind the wheel, because we can save money that way. For clarification, he wasn't hispanic, he was Russian.

Personally, I couldn't care less what you are. But If I come to your country, I'm expected to speak your language, excepting I'm a tourist. But if you work in any kind of industrial setting, you need to be able to understand enough english to know "the building's on fire- GET THE FUCK OUT"!! If that makes me a racist, well, who cares? Sounds like more uncommon sense to me..... :Bravo:

Yep yep yep. If I was to visit another country, I would at least have the respect to learn quite a bit of the language BEFORE I went there. I don't get it either Tim. If they come here, there SHOULD be a REQUIREMENT to learn English. I couldn't agree more.
