Unemployed

[Tamzitude]

Does anyone know somewhere hiring technicians or operators or even technical marketing assistants? Been searching for over 8 months and to no avail. Tried caribbean jobs, trini jobs, jobstt, nes, trini vacancies, ttma, etc but is only salt. Most of their positions are for managers, auditers, etc. Unemployed and broke. Talk tuh meh somebody ((((

Thanks

Son I know of people unemployed 3 years now, with the number of submitted applicationsin the hundreds. Things are difficult all over, have you tried applying to jobs you are "over qualified" for?

This is not the time to refer to specific job titles. Unless you know you can't do other jobs.

Have you tried dropping off your documents personally?

Have you ever tried to start a business?
Do you have a marketable side skill that you can use to generate some income?

[Tamzitude]

Bredda I tried everything possible. Personal drop offs, online sites, company sites, speaking directly with HR. Applied for all types of positions, even went to a job interview where they offered me a "no salary job" yea. It that sick out dey. As for opening a business, i need el capitolo. Trinidad become hopeless dawg.

Had a humbling moment a time when the Rentokil man visited my office building to spray for critters. He looked around my office, saw the AV capture stuff and struck up a convo. He used to be a videocamera operator for a few local channels, then things got hard and he got let go. He tries to maintain PJ's on the side but when every cnut and they cousin is a photographer/videographer, pickings does be slim.

Since then, my backup plan is to hit the groceries first thing if/when i find myself out of this job.

Lower your standards OP. Nothing lasts forever. When we come out from this stink employment situation you can tend to your career goals again.

The few I witnessed were willing to put in rel work starting an hour early while still commuting from one side of the country to the next.

Here is like the land of opportunity they're desperate for even though they're displaced from their homeland and culture.

I noticed people like to group all locals who're struggling together. Just because the migrants are coming from such strife doesn't mean locals have to compete with them from jobs. What happened to their country shouldn't have happened in the first place. Otherwise you would basically be expecting an abnormal culture shift to adapt.

This is a complex matter combined with local businesses increasing demand for cheap labor due to economic pressure. Certain well-connected higher-ups find ways to benefit from these problems while average citizen who's accustomed to a nice trini life could end up with raw end of the deal. The same average citizens who expect the powers that be to fix the problem and not add to it.

Bulksh1t!
Immigration used to open just after 5:00am for business.
They dont want to open earlier. I 100% sure people apply for flexi time and building still opening 8:00am? What kinda dotishness is this?
Lunch time is also 11-12 or 12-1 so a place should not be "closed for lunch". Senior person to the cashier can accept payments in absence of the cashier (in instances such as lunch time).

I worked in the public service for almost 10 years. I will know
