This is another shameless plug of a client who I think is worthy of a mention. We don’t have any affiliation with this site, but think it’s a really good initiative that really needs to be mentioned to those who may benefit from it.

Job Fit is another FAS jobs scam stealing jobs from the community & returning nothing,FAS have been responsible for robbing the community(the unemployed they proport to help) of full time paid tax returnable jobs for years,while draining one billion out of our community,they have no respect for any community they enter and provide their own brand of employment which sucks what could have been full time jobs out of the community.Further consigning those on the poverty line to a lifetime of further poverty.They have had a system in place whereby,if you got hired as an apprentice or a ce worker,you would not be put in a position of employment,yet they reffered to themselves an employment agency.FAS (or faux jobs) had a habit of replacing full time posts with free labour posts,why do multi national businesses and local businesses need subsidising from agnecies like FAS and JOBFIT,obviously you could argue that this is cost effective for the company involved,but how is this cost effective for the government,if thier is no tax returns?Jobfit look set to replace FAS,but some of these FAS officiaries will be on the jobfit board,roll on the junkets,paul o toole who was minister for tourism and failed to bring in tourists even in the fake celtic boom got to sit in on FAS>?Cronyism of the highest order!Shut this quango down,no rebranding or shuffling money elsewhere THEY ARE ROBBING JOBS FROM THE UNEMPLOYED AND THESE UNEDUCATED MASSES ARE BEING LIED TO AND MADE A FOOL OF!
