Actele au ajuns in format PDF si voi incerca sa le atasez. Actul era stampilat, m-am uitat pe stampila si era foarte ciudata.

Dupa ce am citit contractul i-am spus baiatului ca este teapa si l-am rugat sa verifice ceva. Dupa 2 ore mi-a trimis un alt email in care imi confirma ca era spam.

Un alt mesaj l-am primit de la cineva care imi spunea ca a aplicat ptr un job pe Gumtree si i s-au cerut £50. Dupa ce a platit a verificat adresa sa se duca la munca. Din pacate  a fost o teapa de £ 50

Vreau sa va atrag atentia asupra unor lucruri foarte importante.

1. Nici un angajator din UK adevarat, absolut nici unul  nu face angajari fara interviuri “face to face”. Ma refer la joburile de baby sitter, au pair, chelner, bucatar  etc.

Cu atat mai mult daca vorbim de oameni foarte bogati, hoteluri de lux unde cerintele sunt extrem de ridicate.

Se primesc sute de aplicatii. Nici macar in Romania nu te angajeaza nimeni, nu te pune sa semnezi o hartie fara sa te vada.

Poate sa existe un pre-intreviu online, pe skype, dar este oficial si nu esti anuntat ca ti-ai obtinut jobul, ci eventual poti fi preselectat. Posibil sa iei un job daca aplici ptr un job a NASA si ii lasi pe aia cu gura cascata. Atunci trimit si avionul dupa tine.

In rest interviurile sunt “face to face”. Am fost si eu la cateva si chiar nu umbla nici un caine cu covrigi in coada.

2. Salariile acestea sunt strigatoare la cer. Un baby sitter, un au pair care traieste in casa cu familia, poate castiga £100-£150 /saptamana, asta in cazul in care lucreaza pentru o familie generoasa. Are cazare, mancare asigurata.

Am o prietena care lucreaza pentru o familie foarte bogata din Londra si cand spun foarte bogata inseamna foarte bogata. Se plimba cu familia cam peste tot in Europa, traieste in niste conditii de lux, munceste de se rupe, si primeste cam £1.700.

Dar la interviu au fost cel putin 30 de candidate. A fost aleasa pentru ca este foarte tanara si foarte isteata, cunoaste 2-3 limbi, are o prezenta extraordinara.

Ca si chelner chiar si in localurile, pub-urile, hotelurile de lux, tot cu minimul pe economie esti platit. Se mai castiga din bacsis. In functie de cat esti de bun, in timp ti se mareste salariul. E adevarat ca sunt si barmani care sunt foarte bine platiti si bucatari, dar asta dupa ce te pun la treaba si vad ce poti face.

Londra este plina de oameni talentati, de ce ar alege pe cineva din Romania pe care nu l-au vazut si testat niciodata?

Dar sa crezi ca vei primi £5000 de lire pe luna, concedii platite, bilete de avion???? In nici un caz.

Am cunoscut un medic cardiolog, in primul an a plecat de jos de la postul de asistent, pana i-au fost recunoscut toate calificarile, diplomele, diferentele, si-a imbunatatit engleza, a facut practica ca asistent si a trecut prin toate etapele. E adevarat ca dupa 1 an de zile si-a castigat locul bine meritat si este un medic foarte bine cotat.

Intreb din nou? Un post de chelner sa fie atat de bine cotat?

3. Primul lucru pe care l-am descoperit aici a fost sa descopar sistemul de functionare in UK, legat de contracte.

In tara asta pana acum, eu nu am vazut o stampila, nici macar una. Contractele de munca nu se stampileaza. Nici macar facturile nu se stampileaza.

Asta mi-a atras atentia in mod ciudat.

Dar da bine pentru cei care nu cunosc legislatia UK.

Cand vezi pe email un ditamai contractul stampilat cu sigiliul “reginei” esti convins ca regina si-a pus mana pe capul tau (ironic)

Daca s-ar fi uitat cu atentie pe stampila respectiva s-ar fi vazut o data 1869 International fraternity and …( I couldn’t read the last word)

4. Momentan sunt restrictii pe piata muncii in Marea Britanie, deci nu poti fi angajat fara a  obtine Residence Work Permit. Cine aplica pentru tine? Compania respectiva. Da, poate aplica. Din pacate nici o firma nu va depune acest efort sa-ti obtina tie dreptul de munca aici, pentru un post de chelner, cand in Londra sunt mii de chelneri, ospatari in cautare de loc de munca.

Am cunoscut o doamna profesor universitar, care a fost selectionata sa predea la o Universitate celebra de aici. Cand Decanul a realizat ca ea nu poate lucra fara permisiunea Home Office, au anuntat-o in cel mai politicos mod, ca desi este calificata si este ideala pentru Universitatea lor, se vad nevoiti sa acorde jobul altcuiva.

Nici macar ei nu s-au zabtut pentru a-i obtine  dreptul de munca aici.

5. In contractul respectiv se cereau bani pentru cazare. Se incepe cu cea mai scumpa cazare. Evident ca lumea se arunca la cazarea de £500 de lire. Wow! Fantastic! Un job de 3500 de lire, vacante, mese, lucru de 8 ore. Face omul rost de 500 de lire, nu-i asa?

In realitate, nimeni nu da 3 mese pe zi, daca apuci sa ciugulesti ceva din bucatarie esti fericit. Se lucreaza mai multe de 8 ore, sunt pauze este adevarat, 6 zile pe saptamana.

6. Nu mai transmiteti prin internet persoanele pe care nu le cunoasteti datele voastre personale: copii dupa buletin, pasport, adrese si ce vi se mai solicita. Acesti oameni nu doar vor sa va scuture de niste bani, unii sunt hoti de identitate. Intr-o zi o sa va treziti ca aveti datorii prin Londra si sunteti cautati international.

7 De fiecare data adresele sunt adevarate, ca doar le puteti verifica. Dar cand vedeti adrese de email ciudate, fara numere de telefon fixe, este un alt semnal de alarma. Verificati daca numarul este de UK. Aici toata lumea are telefon fix. Orice firma trebuie sa aiba telefon fix si adresa unde poate fi contactata. Numerele de telefon trebuie sa aiba 11 cifre. In cazul de mai sus lipseste una.

Scammeri, copiaza aceste adrese. Baiatului de azi l-am sfatuit sa contacteze direct hotelul, administratia hotelului.

Nu a mai fost nevoie, pentru ca a gasit intamplator pe internet acelasi mesaj primit de el si reclamat deja de alte persoane ca fiind scam.

Stiu ca este foarte greu in Romania. Oamenii astia cu asta se ocupa. Cauta oameni disperati care sunt in stare de orice pentru un job.

Aici a descoperit ca era pe punctul de a fi pacalit.

Fake job scam

A BBC investigation has exposed a fake job scam targeting unemployed people desperate for work in the recession. Inside Out East has tracked down the two men behind it. They’re now under investigation.

Sfat! nu dati datele personale, nu trimiteti bani si nu uitati ca nimeni nu ofera salarii atat de mari, conditii bune de munca fara interviu “face to face”.

pentru cei care cunosc si alte site-uri unde au descoperit job scam sa lase un comentari sau o adresa pentru a fi publicate si cei care citesc sa se documenteze, eventual sa povesteasca de tepele luate.

Baiatul era tentat sa trimita banii pentru cazare, fiind incantat de job. Toata lumea trebuie sa-si caute cazare. O teapa de minim £500

Succes!

      Buna ziua dl Cozianu. Orice hotel are si un site cu date de contact: nr de tel, fax, email. Pers care se ocupa cu angajare. Orice astfel de site sau majoritatea au rubrics legata de angajari. Este bine sa verruficati existenta. Site uli si a adresei de email. Eventual sa i Sunati. Asa oricine isi poate face o pagina de Fb. Cauta aceste date si spune ne si noua dar nu trimite nici un ban momentan. Succes!

    Am primit si eu exact aceeasi oferta de la Threadneedles Hotel, pentru un job de Room attendant mi se ofereau 2200 de pounds.Mi s-a parut ciudat faptul ca nu m-au chemat la niciun interviu, asa ca am intrat oe site-ul oficial al hotelului, unde am gasit adresa de mail a managerului, care se numeste, intr-adevar, Andreas Stys.
    I-am trimis un e-mail si i-am cerut sa-mi confirme ca oferta este facuta din partea hotelului.
    Raspunsul a fost foarte clar: este o inselatorie!

      Multumesc:) Chiar trebuie citit, sunt foarte multi care chiar mi-au spus. “Am nevoie de un job, sunt disperat”. Din pacate acesti oameni chiar asta cauta, oameni disperati, care din piatra seaca scot ultimii bani… daca 3 oameni trimit ptr un “job sigur si cazare” 500 de lire. oamenii astia fac banii grei. Asta este jobul lor, sa pacaleasca oamenii disperati sau sa le fure identitatea, pentru a trage tepe bancilor sau firmelor sau altora cu folosind identitatea lor. Sistemul este valabil peste tot in lume. Doar vorbim de online.
