Employers !!!

Prop Joe

I have arranged a meeting with a local business man,I am going to pitch my skills and what i can bring to his company,He is not hiring at the moment and what have heard is he is happy with his staff.

He plans on expanding shortly,My pitch is for him to hire me under the Jobbridge as a 9-Month trial for "free" to see what i can offer

So my question is,If a dude approached you in this manner "Would you give him a shot?" or would he just be a cheeky git trying to grab a job?

Hi Joe,
I am an employer (insurance broker) and am always amazed that people just pop in their CVs and hope for the best. I am always on the look out for someone who is actually interested to learn insurance, and if someone came to me offering to trial for free, i would snap them up.
I actually had 3 different people work for me on the FAS work placement scheme, they worked for 9 months, got their dole and while they were here i trained them adn they sat insurance exams. Now 2 work here full time on salary and they are great. I would never have given them work without them showing me their mettle and training up.

You tell him what you will bring to him and that you want a long term career in his business and that its a no risk proposition. Go for it!!

Damn right give him a shot.

What's cheeky about trying to grab a job? That's downright pro-active.

They're the people you want out there trying to grab a sale, especially when there looks to be no hope of a sale.

Well. this.

Nice one and congratulations on your creativity!

Just a quick update,Getting on really well and all my expenses are being paid e.g travel to & from work,Lunch etc..Never been happier in employment & i'd be 99% sure i'll be kept on after the scheme finishes.....Whatever anyone says Job-bridge is a good system
