I want to hear everyone's story.

I want to hear everyone's story. I know you have at least one. Copy the job ad that says they are looking for just a female worker. Show me the news article that says recruiters throw out resumes for various reasons. Tell me about the phony job you applied for, only to be let down. Tell me how little they offered for a job requiring a masters degree. We need regulation, we need to not be preyed upon while we are down. Refuse to give out your personal information until they tell you who they are. Take a stand, because standing is about all we have left.

I read this on a community forum

It was a thread about a particular company called Randstad that was luring people in with false hopes.  Add this to the list of ways the unemployed are being mistreated!
"Their health benefits are phony, also. I temped with Randstad years ago, and they said after I worked for 3 months, I was eligible for their "company health insurance". Well, after I'd worked on an assignment for 3 months, I applied for the health benefits. I found out the insurance was worthless. No doctors in my area would accept that insurance, and none of them had even heard of it. The alleged "health benefits" is simply a lure to get you to stay on assignments, thinking you will get real health coverage."

I've actually fallen for the ole benefits scheme multiple times.

  1. I had the same problem with staffinders. Their Insurance was a broker for individual plans which I cannot get because of pre existing conditions.
