Surprised to hear from me again?
Well, I’ve decided to check in with y’all and see how shit’s going. Tomorrow will have been 13 years since the first post was put up, so I’m doing a Yogi Award ceremony. First one is for a young woman who has been smarter than the average jobseeker, for she has won praise from MPs after she petitioned Parliament for laws requiring recruiters be honest with applicants they turn down for jobs. Ana Briggs from St Heliers in Auckland petitioned Parliament after applying for multiple jobs, but in almost every case recruiters didn’t even bother to acknowledge her applications. MPs on Parliament’s Petitions Committee praised Briggs for her efforts and determination, but declined to recommend new laws, with ACT MP Nicole McKee saying: “You can’t legislate courtesy”. Yes you can but of course you shouldn’t have to.
