Day one........ the facts

So...... the only word that i've not managed to backspace over.....
Where to start..... i'm a mid twenties, mildly happy, day dreaming, hard working...... mess, that needs a creative outlet and somewhere to let out the madness that jumps around my head.
I only looked at "blogging" because you can apparently earn money while going nuts on the keyboard, but i'm starting to realise this could be fun!
I'm settling into what i hope will be a career with a new recruitment company, i say new but we've actually been around for a year, things are just starting to get interesting now though making money getting noticed and most importantly FINDING PEOPLE JOBS.
Maybe its just me but, recruitment is a business service designed to help find the best people for a job.
I joined a recruitment company becuase of several bad experiences with several agencies; i worked thirteen temp jobs, ranging from sign writing sounds fun, but it really wasn't - imagine a room filled with A3 card, those stinking pens, and not a single window to crack open, i saw the seventies i think in that room! through to your typical data entry job, all "apparently" temp to perm positions, but never actually getting to the perm part. I started taking it personally until i met someone that explained somethings to me, because of the cost of the recruiters sign on fee it made it impossible for most SME's to beable to afford to take me on, and because of the terrible contracts that are in place the companies are too scared to speak to me after i've gone in case they receive some back-lash.
After this education i decided to join a recruitment company to undo this damage, okay that sounds arrogant i know, but whats wrong with ambition? Aside from the cost, i think its become more about survival, bigger companies that have thrived, pre-recession are simply just chasing that invoice that will keep them solvent, rather than look at the bigger picture, we're in a recession! people need work, rather than bait candidates for leads work together to get more people back to work! i'm hoping this makes sense, i guess the beauty of this is i don't need to care, I'm feeling better now though,

Till next time,
