ANNAzione On the day: just another job fair that there is still spot
few days ago I went to Milan to the much advertised Job Meeting.
I can not say we have gone full of hope or curious to know how everything should take place. It is not the first job fair that I go to look, nor do I think that comes out a little man in a suit and took me to an office already set up for me.
No sir, I did not think at all that would be really useful opportunity. But in these cases leave the initiative to prevail, I say "You never know" and birth, armed with resumes and comfortable shoes.
The Palace of stars allowed to have the booths of various companies such as around a square, which does not make you immediately made aware of who they really are. You seem a bit 'a maze, then at some point you realize you've already done the rounds and this detour Job umpteenth meeting was rather disappointing. On paper, they are all "occasions not to be missed," I frankly find them a fantastic showcase for businesses, and stop. The true sense of the job fair is definitely lost in such difficult times.
who was like me in Milan knows that the sentence was canonical to stand "at the moment there are no assumptions, we have no open positions, but you know that ... maybe in the future." Sooo? So what did you do? Not to mention that, in most cases, even accepted the paper and refer to a cv online entry.
course, for those who are beginners, for those just out of university and does not know what the world of work (but I have heard, I say!) Is a starting point for understanding "around the smoke "and slamming his face against tons of shit in the sink as soon, but for others?
The almost-thirties like me then they really are many. Negative signal, too much competition might say. But it is almost a consolation to see people groping in search of an internship and would be happy to put aside his degree, to focus on his diploma just to get a shred of job that lets you put your brain into motion again.
These are hard times, but the gall of some folks to stand still is more.
"You are not easily piazzabile" They told me, flipping through my CV, as if disgusted by too many lines. Would not know where to place a date that has sought to bring in its expertise and not starting from scratch.
appreciate then the only person who told me the truth: "You know for someone like you, is a journalist or working in a printing office, does not help much if you look on a site there are open positions. Count all the contacts and the like, then the hp you look at him suddenly if he needs someone .... "
Sad, but true. How true that before you graduate in communication studies turn up their noses. Fortunately, in my case, now you look at the work experience and my degree does not matter, it matters little praise given in a 110 and a faculty of papers and entertainers.
So I wonder: advertising and communication are perhaps the major factors to run the economy? Maybe we do not need that at other times?
I think so. And I believe that the companies know it. But skills are not needed, better to continue to cultivate this republic of interns and temporary workers for life after six months will be fun again.
I'd like someone to take my side, as if I were a worker Mirafiori. Graduates do not speak for us almost anyone. For us journalists, then, even less. Who cares if we take € 5 a piece at best?
I'd also like something else. For once instead of the companies we had us sitting the stands. I wonder what it would smell of the brain ...
