Hi Margie,

I'm refering to our meeting at the Job-center at Williamsons Sq., last week, and I'm enclosing

a copy of my revised CV, as agreed.

I've added a column called 'Personal Profile', on the CV, like you adviced me to do.

Is it right that you also want me to remove some of my work-practise, from my CV, since it's

many years since I worked in my first jobs. Isn't it valuable for new employers to also be able

to see which jobs I had, some years ago, to see that I've always been working/studying etc?

We also discussed cover-letters, and I thought I'd use something like the Person Profile on

the CV, as a cover-letter. What do you think is the difference between what should be in the

cover-letter, and what should be in the personal profile on the CV, by the way?

Thanks again for the fine advice in the meeting, and sorry that it took some days for me to

get this done!

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Subject: Complaint about Mrs. Henderson at

the Williamsons Sq. jobcenter in Liverpool

Hi,

I was at 26 week review meeting, at the Williamsons Sq. jobcenter, in

Liverpool,

on Thursday last week.

This incident has been runing a bit in the back of my head, since

then.

Now I think that I should send a complaint about what happened in the

meeting,

since I was a bit intimidated, by Mrs. Henderson.

I thought that the meeting had ended a couple of times, because there

were

several things that was being gone through, in the meeting, in

several

bulks.

There were several things on the agenda in the meeting, but I didn't

have the

agenda, so I a couple of times, thought that the meeting was over.

But then Mrs. Henderson said that, if I did that again she was going to

show

me what she did to men, who didn't do like she said.

I've been having this in the back of my head.

And Mrs. Henderson also found jobs that where low paid, for me, and

that weren't

full-time, and that were in Southport, and places like that, even if I have

a good

education and am an experienced manager.

So I also think this seemed aquard.

But the main complaint is that Mrs. Henderson intimidated me, and

threatened me,

and told me that I had to sit down, or else she was going to tell me what

she

did with men that didn't do like she said.

I think Mrs. Henderson went to far with this comment.

Both of us in the meeting were adult, and even if I'm unemployed at the

moment,

I don't think I should accept being threated condesending, or

patronised.

So I think there are some under-laying feelings or something, that makes

Mrs.

Henderson not threat me objective, in the meetings.

Or at least that's how it seems to me.

So I think that I should send a complaint about this, since now I'm not

looking forward

to meeting Mrs. Henderson again, since she acted out of line, I have to

say, in the

meeting, for some reason.

So I hope you can check out what this was about, because I don't people

should

accept to be threated poorly, just because they are unemployed at a

specific

moment.

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Jobbsøking i England: Møte på the Jobcenter igår. (In Norwegian)

Jeg var forresten også på et ‘review’-møte, på the Jobcenter igår.

Et 26-uker arbeidsledig review-møte.

Vanligvis, så bare viser jeg et skjema, hvor jeg har skrevet opp hvilke jobber jeg har søkt.

Men, etter at man har vært arbeidsledig 3 måneder og 6 måneder, så må man på et spesielt ‘review’-møte da.

Og det hadde jeg igår med Mrs. Henderson, på Williamsons Sq. Jobcenter, her i Liverpool.

Og da fant Mrs. Henderson ut, at grunnen til at jeg nok ikke kom på jobbintervju, det var at CV-en min var på hele 4 sider.

Og det var alt for mye.

Hvis CV-ene var på mer enn 2 sider, så ville arbeidsgiver begynne å kjede seg.

Og jeg måtte også skrive mine ‘skills’, altså ferdigheter, først i CV-en.

Før utdannelse og arbeidserfaring og slikt, lærte jeg.

Så nå, så skal jeg på møte, på the Jobcenter, neste uke.

Et ekstramøte, noe som heter ‘Connect’-møte, for å få råd angående CV-en.

Jeg tror at kanskje arbeidsgivere blir redde, hvis man har jobbet mange steder og drevet med mye.

For da kan de kanskje ikke ‘pushe’ vedkommende arbeidstager rundt, og bruke vedkommende som ‘slave’, i like stor grad.

Kan det være derfor jeg ikke kommer til jobbintervju, at firmaene ikke ønsker for kompetente medarbeidere, for da kan de ikke tulles med?

Hva vet jeg.

Men nå skal jeg ihvertfall på møte, og lære og skrive om alt jeg har drevet med, på mindre enn 2 sider, sånn at ikke arbeidsgiverne skal bli redde for meg, eller kjede seg, når de leser CV-en.

Så sånn er det.

Jeg må forresten også på nytt review-møte med Mrs. Henderson, om 4 uker.

Og Mrs. Henderson, som het Shelly, tror jeg(?)

Hun var en ganske myndig dame på min alder, tror jeg.

Kanskje i slutten av 30-årene(?)

Og jeg var litt trøtt, for jeg trodde først at jeg skulle på vanlig ‘sign on’-møte, igår.

For jeg har også vært på møte på et annet jobcenter, forrige uke, som jeg var litt forsinka på, så jeg måtte dra idag istedet, på Edge Lane jobcenter.

Og jeg måtte også på ekstra møte forrige uke på Williamssons Sq. jobcenter.

Så igår gikk jeg litt i surr, må jeg innrømme.

Så jeg dukka opp kl. 11.15 for et vanlig ‘sign on’-møte.

Men så fikk jeg høre av vakta, at jeg skulle jo være der 14.20 og prate med Mrs. Henderson, om et ’26 week review’-møte.

Og da var jeg litt trøtt på det møte, så jeg trodde møte var ferdig, for det var en del som ble gått igjennom.

Og jeg er vant til å de sign on-møtene går ganske raskt.

Så jeg reiste meg opp et par-tre ganger, for jeg trodde møte med Mrs. Henderson var ferdig.

Og da ble Mrs. Henderson så sinna på meg, at hun begynte å forklare hva hun gjorde med menn som ikke gjorde hva hun sa.

Hun begynte å bli litt truende.

Hun sa ikke helt hva hun gjorde med menn, som ikke gjorde hva hun sa.

Men noe var det.

Det var kanskje fordi jeg gjorde et poeng av det var nesten sommer nå.

Og damer er vel sånn ofte, at da blir de misunnelige, hvis en mann har fri og ikke de.

Så et råd, ikke oppsøk en dame du kjenner hvis hun er på jobb, og du har fri.

Så nå må jeg tilbake i nytt møte med Mrs. Henderson, hvis jeg ikke får meg jobb, om fire uker.

Og det gruer jeg meg litt til, for Mrs. Henderson var litt truende kanskje, må man kanskje si.

Så jeg vet ikke helt hva det her gikk ut på, men jeg er ikke helt sikker på om jeg kanskje ikke synes litt synd på Mr. Henderson.

Det er mulig, selv om det kanskje ikke er min business.

Men Mrs. Henderson gikk litt langt, når hun begynte å true, og begyne å prate om hva hun gjorde med menn som ikke hørte på henne.

Det vil jeg kanskje si.

Men sånn er det kanskje i vår feministiske tidsalder, eller hva man skal kalle det.

Det er mulig.

Så sånn er nok det.

Med vennlig hilsen

Erik Ribsskog

To møter på to forskjellige jobcenter, igår. (In Norwegian)

Igår, så skulle jeg på to møter, på to forskjellige jobcentere.

Her er møteinnkallelsen til et av de møtene:

https://johncons-blogg.net/2009/05/jeg-har-blitt-kallt-inn-til-et-ekstra.html

Det første møtet, som det brevet i linken ovenfor var for, det var på et jobcenter, som var litt oppe i ‘huttaheita’, iforhold til der jeg bor.

Det var oppe i Weaverthree Road der, heter det vel.

(Edge Hill, heter det visst, stod det på brevet, så jeg når jeg sjekka).

På baksiden av en stor Tesco som lå der.

Og jeg var ikke helt sikker på hvordan jeg skulle komme meg dit.

Jeg tok en buss til London Rd. der, og gikk resten av veien.

Men det tok en god del lengre tid, enn jeg hadde trodd, for jeg måtte gå litt rundt for å finne det jobcenteret og, siden det lå litt skjult, vil jeg nesten si, bak Tesco der osv.

Så jeg kom ca. 15 minutter for sent.

Og da fikk jeg ikke lov å gå på møte, da skulle jeg få et nytt brev i posten, fikk jeg høre.

(Uten noe forklaring på hva møte gikk ut på).

Så måtte jeg gå igjen.

Så var jeg på et annet møte, på mitt lokale jobcenter, på Williamsons Sq., klokken 14 da.

Og da måtte jeg fylle ut det samme skjemaet som jeg fylte ut forrige uke igjen.

Det er sånn skjema man må fylle ut, hvis man har vært arbeidsledig i et halvt år, som jeg har vært nå.

(Hurra!).

For de hadde visst ikke mottatt det første skjemaet da.

Noe sånt.

(Eller at de ikke var fornøyd med hvordan jeg fylte det ut, for jeg var ikke helt forberedt på å fylle ut et sånn skjema, som var på 30 sider, eller noe vel, så jeg tok kanskje feil på en god del punker, siden skjemaet var på engelsk, og det var litt uoversiktelig, synes jeg, man måtte hoppe i hytt og pine, til side ditt og punkt datt.

Så sånn var det.

Men men.

Men det er jo min feil egentlig, som ikke har fått meg noe jobb.

Men det er jo nedgangstider og sånn da.

Vi får se.

Så det var to rare møter, må jeg si.

I resepsjonen, så stod mitt navn på en gul lapp, kl 14 Ribsskog, også stod det en annen klokken 9, eller noe.

Jeg tenkte igår, etter møte, var det noen som skulle tulles med, av vaktene etc?

Hvem vet.

Det var vel fler enn to som skulle på møte, på en hel dag, i et travelt jobcenter(?)

Navnene stod på en gul post-it lapp.

Så fikk jeg en rar post-it lapp, med noe koder på eller noe, fra vaktene i 1. etasje til vakten i 2. etasje.
