I just spent 10 mins writing out this blog and then when i tried to ctrl C the page it removed all my text... grrr.. don't worry i'll start typing it all back up.
Well it's been two weeks in my new job and it’s given me a chance to clean Up my life and get more organized... each day I’m getting a clearer idea of where I want to go and I each day I’m now working towards that... I’ve taken the easy path for the last 2 years and that means I’ve taken things for granted.
Right now I’m feeling bored with my life as things are not going the way I’ve wanted them to... but that's change and I can deal with change very well I’ve been through allot over the last 2 years.
This is the period of my career when I start to move from amateur to professional. I can see where I want to be.
So what does all this preaching mean? Not much to anyone else but this is part of how I hype myself up for more change. I’m not 100% happy with where I am at the moment so I’m challenging myself to move on.
One of the great things about being a contractor is that I’m meeting so many new people and getting the chance to network..
Now to move on to recruiters...
I don't like recruiters much and sometimes it shows. Lets break down what a recruiter does. Firstly a business approaches them about finding someone for a job and then they choose from hundreds of resumes and find someone to fill that spot. Then recruiters will send these selected people on to the interviews and one of the selected people will generally get the job. After that the recruiter takes a percentage of the person's pay each week ranging from 11% to sometimes up to 50%
This is the part that I find absurd. I’ve worked with recruiters for ages now and this is the only interaction I generally get from them. Why should they be allowed to take a percentage of my pay? I believe a fairer system would be a once off holding payment from the business and then let the contractor do his thing... recruiters are costing business money and also contractors money...
Now I should take time to mention that someone is probably going to take offence to what I’ve posted. To this I offer the following reply. Of course someone will probably misinterpreted what I’ve posted but this is why I post. This website is the avenue in which I choose to communicate and what's posted here is my opinion that's all. My opinions can change and they will as I learn more about the subjects I choose to voice my opinion of.
In my closing statement tonight I’m going to say something about life itself.
Go where you want in this life as you only have one chance at it so enjoy it the way you want to enjoy it..
