    Hi,

    I've been working ten years with management, thereby four years as a food shop manager, in three different food-shops, so I have very good knowledge of management.

    I've been working in a Contact Centre, and I've also recieved training from a council in Yorkshire, East Riding, practising on answering phone-calls, from council-citizens, calling in with complaints, to the Council, when I worked for Arvato, on the Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation-campaign, in the Cunard Building, here in Liverpool, a few years ago.

    I've also studied Computing with Business, on University-level, so I also have a good theoretical background in organisation and management, to complement my practical experience from these fields.

    So I hope to please get to an interview for this job!
    I'm attaching my CV.
    Yours sincerely,
    Erik Ribsskog

  • Jobbsøking i England

    Idag så ble jeg vekket, (siden jeg har litt dårlig døgnrytme), klokka 11.45, står det på lappen her.

    Så jeg er litt groggy enda.

    Neida.

    Men, det var Jet som ringte, og sa at jeg ikke var tatt av lista, for kurs, i ‘Basic Food Hygiene’.

    Som det var noe krøll med, at ei dame ringte meg, hjemmenfra, antagelig, som jobba på Jet, i ferien sin.

    Så jeg lurte på hva det var for noe.

    Det svarte ikke han som ringte, som het Neo(!) om.

    Men han sa at jeg skulle bli kontaktet angående det kurset ihvertfall.

    Så får jeg se om de svarer på klagen min og etterhvert.

    Vi får se.

    Mvh.

    Hi,

    I received the answer from the Jobcenter Plus Directorat, and Director Groombridge, today, (which I attach scans of, with this e-mail).
    However, there are a few things, in their letter.

    Actually, I don't know where to start, when I read their letter, because I disagree, with so much of what they write, (from my memory of the meeting with Ms Hart, the jobcenter-manager, and more), but I'll try to summarise what I disagree with, in the letter, from the Jobcenter Director.

    1.
    I can start with that it says in the letter, that I told Ms Hart, that I didn't understand the local accent, since I hadn't lived in Liverpool, that long.

    But that's wrong.
    I said I might have got the tone wrong, when Mrs. Henderson said that 'or else I'm going to show you what I do with men who don't do what I say'.

    So I didn't mention the accent, but I mentioned that I might have got the tone wrong, in the meeting with Ms Hall.
    But, I wasn't prepared for this meeting, I hadn't got a letter about this meeting, I went to the jobcenter, to have a review-meeting, not a complaint-meeting, but I was told that Ms Hall wanted to speak with me, but not what it was about, so I didn't get the chance to prepare for the compaint meeting, and this want to complain about to you.

    Complaint 1: I wasn't given any time to prepare for the complaint-meeting with Ms Hart.


    2.
    The jobcenter says that they have started to train their employees, since they don't understand how to deal with e-mails, since Ms Hart didn't get my e-mail, from 27 May.

    But I think the jobcenter should train their staff, when they are new, to learn how to deal with e-mails.
    Complaint 2: The jobcenter don't give their staff proper training, when they start working there, (regarding the e-mail system and more).



    3.
    In the letter, it says that I didn't want Ms Hart to pursue my complain agains Mrs Henderson.
    But this isn't true, I told Ms Hart that I wanted her to pursue the complaint.

    Complaint 3: The Jobcenter Plus Secretariat lies, when he says that I said in the meeting with Ms Hart, that I didn't want her to pursue my complaint against Mrs Henderson.

    (And I don't really want to contact Ms Hart about this, because I think she twisted on the things I said in the meeting I had with her, from reading the Jobcenter Plus Directors letter).

    4.

    And in the letter it says that Ms. Hart asked me if I wanted a written response, from her, regarding what was said in the meeting.

    But this isn't true, she didn't ask me, she said she would send a written response, and didn't ask me first if I wanted one.
    Complaint 4: The Jobcenter Plus Secretariat lies, when they say that Ms. Hart asked me if I wanted her to send me a written response, she didn't ask me this, and I didn't say I didn't want one, but it was in the way, that she sayd she would send a written response, and I didn't disagree with this. I don't understand how she could have got this so wrong, this complaint, and also the same, with complaint 3, and complaint 2 and 1, I don't understand how the jobcenter-manager, could get all this wrong, I think she must have some agenda, and is lieing, in this, after reading the Jobcenter Plus Secretariats letter, so I hope you can investigate this, in the way that you normally do, when the Jobcenter Secretariat are lieing like this, and when the Jobcenter don't train their staff properly.

    I cant understand how the Jobcenter can be so stupid, that they don't teach their staff, how to operate their e-mail system.
    So I think I have to say, that the Jobcenter Secretariat, are lieing, when they say that this is due to a training-issue, because every 'idiot' should understand that staff need training when they are new in the job.

    So to say that they forgot to train the staff, and teach them the e-mail system, like the Jobcenter Secretariat really says. I think this excuse, isn't good enought. The Jobcenter have been ignorante, and haven't trained their staff properly, like everyone must understand is elementary, in a job like this, to teach staff the e-mail system.

    So eighter the Jobcenter have been very ignorant, or very incompitent, (if they don't understand this elementary training-issue, is needed), or they are lieing.
    I think you shouldn't let the Jobcenter Secretariat get away with this bad excuse, but that someone has to take responsibility for this bad use of tax-payers money, and quit their job.

    That's my opinion, at least after I've read all the other lies in the letter as well, as explained in the complaints above.
    So I hope you do something about this, so that someone has to pay for this stupid mistake with their job, to show that this type of bad excuses, (which is an insult to tax-payers and other citizens), isn't acceptable, in a transparent and democratic society.

    I've also heard in Norway, that I'm being followed by some 'communist-mob'.
    I don't want to speaculate why they would single me out with lies and harassment like explained in complaints 1-4, but this _could be_ an explanation for this, even if I don't want to specualate to much, for the reasons for why the Jobcenter do this.

    These are executives, who are responsible for their actions, and should be made responsible, and not be let to get away with 'bullshit' like in the letter I got from the Jobcenter Secretariat today.

    So I hope you make them pay for the bad way in which they've threated me, at the Jobcenter!
    Yours sincerely,
    Erik Ribsskog

    Problems at the Jobcenter, Williamson Sq., Liverpool/Fwd: Complaint about ICE,

    to Complaints Manager

    Hi,

    are you sure about this?

    Because, it wasn't resolved properly, I think.

    – The manager, told me, in the meeting, that she hadn't recieved my initial

    complaint, which was sent to her, from the Jobcenter national complaint center,

    (or what exactly they are called).

    – The manager said in the meeting, that in the next review-meetings, I would

    get a new jobcenter-advisor, still, when I went there last week, it was Mrs.

    Henderson, the same case-worker still, who had the review-meeting.

    – The manager, Mrs. Hart,

    told me, in the meeting, three weeks ago, on Thursday, that she would send me

    something in writing, a summary, from the meeting, which I haven't recieved.

    So I want to complain about the manager there, Mrs. Hart.

    Then I think, that I should direct the comlaint, to her manager, and not to her

    in person, due to that she is involved, from before.

    Could you please tell me if you agree with this, that the complaint should go

    to Mrs. Hart's manager, and not to Mrs. Hart herself?

    Yours sincerely,

    Subject: Problems at the Jobcenter, Williamson Sq., Liverpool/Fwd: Complaint

    about ICE, to Complaints Manager

    To: ice@dwp.gsi.gov.uk

    Hi,

    I was at the jobcenter, for a review-meeting, today,

    and was also told, that the Manager,

    Mrs. Hart, wanted to have a meeting with me.

    This meeting was about a jobcenter representative-complaint, that I've sent to

    you,

    at the Independant Case Worker-offce, on 23/7.

    This complaint was resolved, in the meeting today,

    Mrs. Hart was going to speak with

    the representative, and I was going to get a new

    advisor, due to the problems mentioned

    in the complaint.

    But, Mrs. Hart also told me, in the meeting today,

    that she 'didn't see the original complaint'.

    This I think is strange, since Alison Monkhouse, on

    the central jobcenter complaint center,

    for the UK, (when on complain from the

    Jobcenter-website), she sent me an e-mail about

    this complaint, on 27/5, (which I've also forwarded to

    you), and then she also sent Mrs. Hart

    a copy of the e-mail she sent me, (containing also the

    original complain). One can see this,

    since it says Cc: Hart Colette

    JCP WILLIAMSON SQUARE <COLETTE.HART@jobcentreplus.gsi.gov.uk>,

    on the e-mail that

    Alison Monkhouse, sent on 27/5.

    So how could Mrs.

    Hart tell me today, that she hadn't seen the original complaint, when

    it was e-mailed to

    her, on 27/5, from Alison Monkhouse?

    I think Mrs. Hart

    seemed sincere, to me, when she told me this, that she hadn't seen the

    comlaint, until now,

    a few days ago, when she got an e-mail from you, at the Independant

    Case-Workers, in

    Chester.

    So, what has

    happened at the Willamson Sq. Jobcenter?

    Did Mrs. Hart lie, or has someone been messing with the e-mail system?

    Or did Mrs. Hart forget that she had read the complaint?

    I was wondering if

    this was something that the Independant Case Worker should look at,

    because I think this

    seemed a bit akward.

    Are there 'mobsters' at the Williamson Sq. Jobcenter, messing with the e-mails,

    I wonder?

    What do you think, at the Independant Case-Examiner, should this be looked at?

    Thanks in advance

    for your reply!

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    I got your letter today, with the date 3. august.

    You write, that if I haven't got a response, to my jobcenter-complaint, within

    5 weeks,

    then I should contact you again.

    But, I sent the compaint in May, so this is already more than five weeks ago,

    and I haven't

    received a response yet, from the jobcenter, which I

    informed you about, in my e-mail from

    24/7, then it was already gone TWO MONTHS, when I sent

    you the e-mail.

    How can you fail to understand that two months are more than five weeks?

    This is ridiculus, how can people trust you, if you act in a 'moronic' way like

    this?

    Please clean up this now!

  • Nå skal jeg på ‘Basic Food Hygiene Course’. Mest for å ha noe å gjøre. Men husverten kommer for å hente leia, den dagen, så jeg ba om en ny kursdato

    img094

    PS.

    Jeg har ikke noe kontaktinformasjon, til husverten, og jeg orker ikke å prate med hu dama på kontoret der, (for jeg har hatt en del krøll med henne, blant annet så hadde jeg ikke varmvann her, på to år, annet enn i dusjen), så derfor passer det best å ordne denne ‘kollisjonen’ i avtaleplanene mine, på denne tilsynelatende litt tungvinte måten.

    For jeg må være hjemme klokka 15 nemlig, med husleia, så da gidder jeg ikke å henge opp noe lapp, eller noe, (og skrive at jeg ikke er her før klokka 16), for det har vært så mye krøll med husleia, så jeg må nesten prøve å prioritere det, å ikke lage noe mer problemer rundt dette.

    Det er nok det smarteste, vil jeg nok tro.

    Så sånn er nok det.

    Vi får se.

    Mvh.

    Erik Ribsskog

  • Nå skal jeg på ‘Food Hygiene-course’, mathygiene-kurs, med Jet, som Working Links sendte meg til

    img092

    PS.

    Jeg var hos JET i Walton, for jeg var hos tannlegen der.

    De hadde ikke HR-kurs hos JET da, sånn som Working Links sa, så jeg tok mathygiene-kurs istedet da, for det var det eneste kurset jeg fant der, som passa med jobbene jeg søkte, det kan jo passe for butikkledere, vil jeg tro.

    Så vi får se hva som skjer.

    Mvh.

    Erik Ribsskog

    PS 2.

    Photo 6068

    Jeg fikk gull-fylling i tanna da, av tannlegen i Walton idag.

    Nederst til høyre i kjeften der.

    Den passer ikke helt perfekt da, så jeg håper jeg blir vant til den.

    Den passer liksom ikke helt, sammen med raden med tenner ovenfor, når man biter sammen.

    Men men.

    Det blir kanskje bedre etterhvert.

    Jeg mangler en tann, nederst til venstre der, som jeg måtte trekke, i 2005, fordi fyllingen hadde falt ut, og den tanna var rotfylt fra før, fordi jeg drakk så mye cola, under oppveksten, da jeg bodde hos faren min, så nesten alle jekslene mine, i underkjeven, trengte amalgam-fyllinger, på slutten av 80-tallet, var det vel.

    Så sånn var det.

    Så jeg må prøve å få en kunstig tann, satt inn i kjeften etterhvert, vi får se.

    Fortenna mine ser ut som om de er kasta inn i kjeften på meg, og det er fordi at jeg drakk cola en gang, som jeg gikk sammen med min tidligere kamerat, Kjetil Holshagen, fra huset jeg bodde, og ned til Havnehagen, av en eller annen grunn.

    Så leika Kjetil Holshagen da, og mista noe greier på bakken, og sa ‘se her’, og reiste seg opp, og skalla hue i bånnen av cola-flaska, som jeg drakk av, så det brakk av biter av begge fortennene mine da, og de ble nok litt skeive ja.

    Men onkelen min, i Son, Runar Mogan Olsen, som er tannlege, han fiksa ikke det helt ordentlig, synes jeg.

    Men men.

    Sånn er det.

    Vi får se hva som skjer, jeg pleier for det meste å holde kjeften igjen, så det er vel kanskje ikke så farlig.

    Vi får se.

    Jeg klarer å spise ihvertfall nå, så jeg skal ikke klage.

    Det er ikke dårlig bare det.

    Da er jeg ganske fornøyd.

    Så vi får se hva som skjer.

  • Jeg oppdaterte CV-en min igjen, og forklarte mer om studiene mine, i Norge og England

    Personal Profile:

    I’m a hardworking and committed person who has very good management and communication skills.

    I’ve studied computing and business, for four and a half years, at university-level. I have a degree called ‘Høgskolekandidat’ in Information Technology, from Oslo University College, which is a two-year degree. I’m also waiting for a two-year degree, in computing and business, from NHI, (now NITH), which also is a University College, in Oslo, where I studied in the early 90’s. But this is a private university-college, so I had to work a lot, besides the studies to finance the studies, so I have lacked 7 of 40 study-points, to get that degree, but now I also have modules from Oslo University College, so I’m in the process of trying to get this degree, as well, from NITH. The last half-year, of these four and a half years, I studied Computing, on the Study Abroad and Bachelor Computing-programmes, at University of Sunderland, but I had to stop studying here, after only one term, due to problems with the Norwegian Government Study-finance bank, who delayed my study-loan, for four months, due to some problems with Oslo University College, aproving of my modules in Sunderland, (strangly enough, since these institutions co-operated, on Study Abroad programmes, etc), so I went back to Norway, and helped my uncle, with working with forest-work, on his farn, in 2005, due to that the problems with the Study-loan, and my home-university, took away my focus from my studies in Sunderland, so these didn’t go so well, even if I got the best grade, on the inital English-test for study abroad students there, etc.

  • Jeg har oppdatert CV-en min, med en egen seksjon, for min militær-karriære

    Army Career:

    (In Norway, untill recently, almost everybody, (of the men), had to serve for one year, in the Army, in the way the Government wanted).

    July 1992 – June 1993, Geværmann 1, (Rifle-soldier 1), Geværkompaniet, (Rifle-company), Terningmoen, Elverum, Norway.
    Norwegian Army, Infantry, Oppland Regiment, Conscription Service.
    (This was one of the best Norwegian army-units. ‘All’ the best officers wanted to stay near the capital, Oslo, (and not in the north), so we often got the officers with the best grades from the Army-academy. This unit has been in war, with both the Germans and the Swedes, and used to have a Viking skiier, a ‘Birkebeiner’, on the crest. I got a medal for finishing my conscription-service, and a lot of competition-
    badges: sharp-shooting badge in silver and bronce, skiing-badge, infantry-badge and army sports-badge. I really wanted a career in computing, so while I was at Terningmoen, I applied for an army computing-job, which I got, (a three month job, as an assistant, on a computer-course, with the work-task of instructing high-ranking officers, on a computer-course. I lost this job, after one day, without any explanation, so I ended up working for twelve years in the food-shop business, after the Army, since I lacked work-experience from computing, and there was a recession, in Norway, in the early 1990’s).

    June 1993 – February 1996, Norwegian Mobilization-Army, Oslo/Jørstadmoen.
    After the Army, I was transfered to the Mobilization-army, and was on one rehersal here, that lasted for about two weeks, so I had to take time of work. This was on ‘Øvelse Elg’, that’s Rehersal Moose or Elk, in Kongsvinger. (During my conscripton-service, we were on a lot of rehersals, so I was also on Øvelse Elg, in 1992, as an infantry-soldier, in ‘Geværkompaniet’, (Rifle-company), Terningmoen, Oppland Regiment).

    February 1996 – Recently, or when I left Norway in 2005, Home-defence, HV02, Oslo.
    ‘Støtte-område 2018’, that’s Support-Area 2018, the ones who helps the other Areas who are attacked by the enemy. After the cold war had ended, the Mobilization-army in Norway, was partly or mostly disintegrated. Whole Mobilisation-Units where dropped, including
    my unit. The best of the soldiers from these units, where hand-picked to this elite Home-Defence unit, HV-2018, that I was transfered to. So if the Home-defence, hadn’t thought I was going to be a good Home Defence-soldier, then my army career would have ended, after my Mob-Army unit had been disolved, but since I was one of the few hundred who was hand-picked, to this special elite Home Defence-unit, then I got to have a machine-gun, (Hekler and Kock AK3), at home, and also other Home-defence equipment. We were trained for one week, every or every other year. Since I was called in, at the first meeting of this unit, I could have chosen to try to be an officer, in this unit, but I had a quite time-consuming job, in shop-management, so I chose to not comit myself more than I had to, with the Army/Home Defence, so all these three jobs I had in the Army and Home Defence, where not volentary, but something I had to do, since the Government told me to do this. Which was ok, to a certain degree to me, but I didn’t have the time to do a lot of extra, for the Army, on top of this again. So I tried to make it fit in with work and studies etc., so I wasn’t like a fanatic army-guy, or anything like that, even if there was enough of guys like this, in this Home-defence unit, people who lived and breathed army-stuff, but I was never one of them, I was just a normal guy, who was serving my conscripiton-service in the Army and in the Home Defence. I really had a torn of ligament in the knee, (the lower ligament, I think it was, in the left knee), when I was transfered to this unit, so I think it was a bit strange that I ended up here, since I think these were supposed to contact my doctor and my employer etc., to find the people most suited, for being in the Home-defence, and in my doctors files, it should have explained about this injury, (a footballing-injury, from 1994 or 1995), so I think it was a bit strange, that I ended up in this unit, since I had this injury at the time I was transfered to this unit.
