Hi again,
and the reason I'm a bit upset/stressed now, and sending many e-mails.
Is because Mr. Ellis interrupted the meeting before last, to show me a fairground attraction.
Which I didn't understand anything about.
So this 'freaked me out' a bit, I think.
Mr. Ellis said in the last meeting, that he didn't want the meetings to be 'mechanical'.
But I think I'm a part in the meeting, as well, and think they are supposed to be held in a conventional way.
So I didn't like or understand anything about this fairground attraction-stuff.
And I still don't.
Why did Mr. Ellis interrupt the meeting to show me the fairground attraction?
Is this some British mobster-stuff, that I don't understand, since I'm a normal guy from Norway?
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
so, the reason I'm sending many e-mails, is because I'm from Norway.
So then I'm a bit slow in the meetings.
So then I have to try to go through the meetings again, when I get home, to try to get to explain what I didn't manage to explain in the meetings.
Just something I thought about now.
Just to try to explain, that I don't mean to be inpolite, by sending many e-mails, but I have a 'handicap', in the meetings, due to that Norwegian is my first language.
Sorry about this!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
I send about this to you.
I have complained about Mr. Ellis before, but you haven't replied.
Now he is patronising me.
I think I have the right to know which degree my Personal Advisor have.
Then I know if he has a good education or not.
Now, I don't know if he is an under-paid guy, or one who is well-paid, and should offer good customer-support.
I think I'm the customer, or client, here.
I think they are to un-conventonal at Sencia, no business-cards, interrupting meetings to talk about fairgroud atractions, Personal Advisors with bags under their eyes and with a smell and he act like he's crunching himself, (I think it's called).
Why this secrecy?
Why wont they explain about education etc?
Is he labour-class, midle-class, or what?
I can't know if I don't get the business-card.
This secrecy is distroying for the communication.
I have a blog in Norwegian, where I give advice to Norwegians who want to work in the UK, so that's why I write on the internet.
He say he don't need to 'justify his methods'.
I'm simply complaining about un-conventinal behavour.
I'm also in these meetings, so I also I'm a part here.
If one person acts strange in a meeting, then I have the right to ask about what the reason for this is, I think.
I think there could be something 'bogus' here, why can't I get the business-card for this person?
He says my behaviour is unacptable, I appologise, for calling him 'peronal assistant', instead of 'personal advisor', but that's just a typing-error, and I'm from Norway, (like I've explained to Mr. Ellis), so I sometimes type a bit wrong.
Why is Mr. Ellis afraid of my questions in the e-mails?
I think he is afraid of leveling.
I think it's important that a client and his Personal Advisor are on level.
So I think this Employment Zone-stuff with Sencia, with they're secresy and that they don't want to level, is very strange.
This I wanted to please complain about.
And I'm wondering if I could please go to Employment-Zones with another company?
Or at least get another Personal Advisor?
Also, I think my complaint against Mr. Ellis should have been dealt with by his line-manager, and not himself, on Tuesday, so that's a complaint against Sencia Hanover St.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Erik, in all seriousness. your behaviour with regards to
these emails is not acceptable. I do not need to know the majority of the
information in the emails that you are sending to me. I am requesting now
that you send no further correspondence to this email address as your behaviour
is bordering on harrassment. I am not your personal assistant as you claim in
your email below but rather your personal adviser, and therefore do not need to
justify my own methods or tell you my qualifications. If you send any more
emails to me i will return your paperwork to JCP where you will face a decision
making appeal.
Furthermore, i am requesting that you remove my email
address from your internet site as i am receiving a number of emails from people
going on there. Thank you for your future co-operation

Also,
the guy in the reception, who looks like he's from Waynes World, wouldn't
give me the pay-cheque, before Tuesdays meeting.
He also told me to just
walk straight in, without anouncing me. Even if I was there some minutes before 4 pm, (even if I just wrote 4 pm,
on the list to register).
What's this about then?
I think you are acting so un-conventinal there.
Isn't this the UK?
I get surprised by how modern you are acting.

Hi again,
and seriously Mr. Ellis.
I told you in my e-mails, that the facts on the CV you made for me, was
wrong.
That there shouldn't be a gap in my employment-history with Rimi.
And that you had put on two degrees I don't really have.
So these are facts, on the CV, which are wrong.
So these need to be corrected, or else it's more or less like fraud, I
think.
And I want to be on level with you, since you have made the CV, and is
my Personal Assistant.
But I think you must be over-worked.
Like I said in the complaint to the job-centre, you had bags under your
eyes.
And on the meeting on Tuesday, I thought you even had a smell.
So I think you have to much to do.
Who is your manager, if I can ask?
At least I think it's un-profesional of you, not to correct the errors I've
pointed out, on the CV.
I send a copy of our correspondence from yesterday, to the Jobcentre
now.
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
ok, I just added about the website and the file, 'for the record', so to
speak, so that's no problem.
'Høgskolekandidat', is also a title, by the way, like I found an example of
here:
| Tittel/Title: |
Høgskolekandidat
|
It's very fine that you'll add about my IT-skills!
I think that it sounds better with 'awarded manager', in my Personal
Profile, rather than 'manager with a proven track record'.
Just something I thought about.
Thanks again for your reply,
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Erik,
whilst i appreciate the information that you have given to me in relation to
your work history and qualifications, much of this is irrelevent to a CV. This
information was all in your origional CV and this came to 5 pages long. Much
of this CV resembled a full dialogue of your life experiences. The idea of a
CV is to be concise and direct to the point so that the employer does not get
bored reading it.
I did not
mention the website that you showed you in my review as it had nothing to do
with job search. As you quite correctly pointed out in your complaint to the
job centre, that is why you are attending this mandatory employment zone
programme. I didnt write that you have handed me a copy of your job search as
i have actually put the sheet in your file with your
review.
I do
however agree that your specific IT expertise in the areas of HTML, Java
scripy etc should be added to your CV and i will do this
today.
Regards

And here's more about my degree, 'Høgskolekandidat', which I found
on the internet, (Euroeducation.net):
The Høgskolekandidat
(College candidate) degree is obtained after two
years of study. This degree may be built upon to
obtain a Bachelor's degree. The degree is offered at state university colleges
and a few private institutions.

And also,
I think it should say, that I'm an 'award-winning manager'.
Because when I won the store manager-competition, 'Rimi Gullårer',
in the second half of 2001, then I received a metal-pen and a signed letter
written to my name, from Forbes-billionaire, Stein Erik Hagen, (the founder
of the Rimi Food-shop chain).
Just something I had on my mind.

Hi again,
sorry that I'm sending many e-mails.
But shouldn't it say on the CV, that, (since I have the Norwegian
degree in IT), am a member of the Norwegian Engineering-organisation NITO,
and also, (since I have experience from management), am a member of NITO's
manager-forum, (which only a few hundred engineers/tech-educated people are
in Norway).
Just something I thought about.

Hi,
also, it shouldn't be a gap, in the time I worked for Rimi, I worked in
the check-out and with stocking goods, from December 1992 to the summer of
1994, from then I worked as a manager, untill the automn of 2004.
Also I wonder if it shouldn't say on the CV, that I won a prestigious
competition, ('Rimi Gullårer'), in shop-management, in Rimi, for the second
half of 2001.
Only a few of Rimi's many houndred store-managers win this
competition every half-year.
Also, I have work-experience from System Development, from 1993, which
I think should be on the CV, from the stated reason, that IT jobs are the
first I look for.

Hi Mr. Ellis,
I just wanted to send some feedback on the CV.
Firstly, my degree from university-level, is a
'Høgskolekandidat'-degree, in IT, from Oslo University College, from
2009.
Jet tells me this is comparable with a Foundation Degree/Higher
National Diploma.
That's it.
I haven't got any more degrees from University-level, even if I
wait for one, in Information Management, but then NITH in Oslo has to
approve of some of my IT-modules from Oslo University College first.
And I haven't got a Higher National Diploma in IT, it's only a degree
which is comparable with that.
Further, I have sent my CV to 'the Fuller CV', and they wanted me to
write about that I have a degree in marketing in my personal profile, so
perhaps that should be mentioned, on the CV, that I have a degree from Upper
Secondary School in Marketing, (and Information Management).
Also, I think it perhaps should say on the CV, that I have skills in
HTML, Javascript, CSS, Programming, System Development, etc.
You said in the first meeting that you wanted to asses my IT-skills,
but I can't see that you have done that.
I think that since I have a degree in IT, then IT is my main-field, and
then my IT-skills should be put on top of the CV.
Since when I look for jobs, on the Jobcentre website, then I first look
for the IT jobs in Web-design etc.
And then I think the CV should be customised for that.
Also, you didn't write on the summary that I gave you a copy of file
showing the jobs I've applied for, since the last meeting.
And you didn't write in the summary, that I showed you the website,
that I have been working on, since the last meeting:
You said I shouldn't have a photo of myself with a beer-can, on a site
like that.
I explained it was from the Matthew St. Festival, where one are
allowed to drink outside.
Since one of my interests, like it says on the CV, are music.
You also wondered if I was going to put my CV on that web-site,
which I could confirm.
And I showed you a picture of my grand-mothers furniture, to do
with that she inherited Holger baron Adeler, which is Norways only 'proper'
noble-line, I think I have to say.
Just thought I'd write this, while I remember it.
Hope this is alright!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog
