If anyone remembers the conversation about the hopelessness of the modern left, here's an interesting article/review about it. https://lareviewofbooks.org/review/on-algorithmic-communism [EDIT: While I don't think that automation will inevitably lead to mass unemployment, it didn't happen when we automated the farms and factories so I don't see why automating the office would necessarily be any different, they still make some interesting points.] open24hours fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Jan 27, 2016 |

ADF-linked website for Muslim members calls for overthrow of our government, says we are at war with Islam and its followers So the ADF's guide to religion and belief links to a page on Islam, which in turn links to a Q&A site run by a Salafist scholar, which buried somewhere has a statement saying that: quote:Democracy is a system that is contrary to Islam (because) legislative authority is given to someone other than Allah, may He be exalted. In these systems legislation has been promulgated allowing abortion, same-sex marriage and usurious interest (riba); the rulings of sharee‘ah have been abolished; and fornication/adultery and the drinking of alcohol are permitted. In fact this system is at war with Islam and its followers. Therefore Muslims in the ADF want to overthrow the government of Australia

Short animated film currently doing the festival circuit, based on recorded conversations with Manus Island detainees: https://vimeo.com/152158702 Haven't seen it pick up much traction online and I doubt it's going to sway anyones opinion but it's very well made nonetheless.

Has applying for jobs always been complete bullshit or has anything changed in the past 7 years? I'm guessing I just got lucky in the past and forgot about it. Last 5 jobs I've applied for ask for a resume and force you to fill out what is basically your resume in boxes as part of the application process. Seems terribly inefficient.

Last 5 jobs I've applied for ask for a resume and force you to fill out what is basically your resume in boxes as part of the application process. Seems terribly inefficient. I suspect that some of it might be to combat the higher unemployment, and more forceful regulations on job application numbers. A flat-out, simple advertisement through Seek probably gets nigh-unworkable shitloads of applications, but if they force you through 15-20 minutes of bullshit forms just to apply to a simple administration job, that cuts down the list considerably. I've been through two separate interviews so far for a job in Melbourne that I really want, and not having to deal with that sort of poo poo anymore is still in like, the top ten things I'm looking forward to.And that's a list that includes stuff like 'I could move into the same street the office is on', 'this is exactly the sort of job I want to have', and 'I will finally have the freedom and privacy to do something I've wanted to do for nearly a decade'.

Also, you pretty much need to apply for 20 jobs a day to get anywhere. I was looking for work a few months back after a contract ended and got a fair bit of radio silence whenever I applied for jobs where the application process used one of those time-wasting online forms run by Talent2, Taleo, Revelian, Brassring etc. Then I tried putting job ads through a wordcloud generator and shoehorned the biggest words from the wordcloud into my resume and the online forms and suddenly most places called me back and I got offered 3 jobs in one week. If you can get past the automated filter that prevents 90% of resumes from ever being seen by human eyes, then you're suddenly only competing against 15-20 people instead of probably hundreds.

Its this. One job slot will get 500-1000 applicants. Software will cull it down to about 50. That 50 or so will be invited to interview. Winners picked from the shortlist. The numbers go up and down depending on whether its a position that needs qualifications or licenses. This is my expereince from working at three 500 worker operations, seven 1000ish worker operations and a few mum and dad operations.

It's time for Uncle Blitzkrieg's Storytime Last time I was seriously unemployed (like, not between-contract unemployed but out and out up poo poo's creek, no prospects unemployed) I paid somebody in the Philippines to apply for jobs for me. I checked out her written and spoken English over Skype, I paid her double Filipino min. wage for four hours a day (which works out to be about 8$ per diem), she sent me a spreadsheet of what I was in the draw for, and I got to look like a rich guy whom people should hire, because all my potential employer correspondence went thought my Personal Assistant. Within 2 weeks, I had a job, - but best of all, I had a story about the time I outsourced my unemployment.

Dont forget the job listings posted by recruiters that either A) capture data of people looking for work or B) positions that dont actually exist to harvest references and/or offer you less good, shittier positions. I basically only apply for roles advertised with the employer directly, or where the role is advertised by a recruiter that actually has detailed information about the company they represent in the ad.

Well, yeah, that too. my latest recruiter experience was a phone call received asking me if I was still looking for work. 1 year later. in a different state to the one I live in. and when i said no he asked me if I knew any body that lived there that would. I asked if I would get his commission if the position was filled and he couldnt figure out why I would ask that for some reason. Its basically a job that exists so british backpackers have a way to earn money while on holiday.

Another chapter to add to Cartoon's Australian_Management_Is_Inefficient.txt I can ask him again, but from what he described it sounds like there is an automatic process which filters the applications, the successful ones get sent through to people who use a program that highlights important information. He said the best way is to incorporate the "skills required" words into your CV or cover letter if you can as this is usually what they look for.

It's an inevitable outcome of the policies of the Howard years that they're admitting any idiot now.
