 u not go forward for the job?
These info sessions are generally just that, an information session held either by or on behalf of an employer in the area that is undertaking a big recruitment drive.
Normally people will be selected to go on them so you wouldn't send someone who was only interested in retail / office work to a construction session and vice-versa.
The session will normally consist of some information about the jobs on offer, the recruitment process and what to expect. From there you're hopefully able to make a decision on if it's right for you and be better prepared for the next steps.
We did a fair few of them for big retail chains / warehouses etc and generally they're worthwhile. For a few we managed to get hold of recruitment forms / interview questions etc and were able to give people who wanted more info a run-through of the interview to try to take away some of the nerves.
Without being short about it, you're absolutely right.
Companies tend only to recruit entry level jobs in large numbers and unfortunately entry level jobs attract salaries around NMW. I don't necessarily believe that this is right or proper and that some roles, like those in the care industry, don't reflect the level of responsibility and work in the salaries that they offer.
If the JCP or a WP provider knew about these jobs and did nothing to raise awareness then they'd be criticised too. So, yes - all to often the roles advertised are entry level and the salaries offered reflect this and are no different to what is happening right across the country. Equally, it can be seen as 'tick-box' as the WP / JCP do what they set out to do by raising awareness of what's out there at the time.
I worked in London for a high profile company for 18 years and worked up from a junior to an executive on £30k+ until redundancy last February. I live in North Essex and willing to take a salary within a 50 mile distance from home for around £16-20k. My CV is professional, my covering letters always tailored to the job and person spec and to date, a year later ZERO interviews let alone a job offer. I am with INGEUS (only last 2 weeks) and they more or less accuse you of not trying hard enough - I do try, never been out of work and hate being on JSA and housing benefit and want to work and would do so tomorrow! The simple fact is there are not enough REAL jobs and the ones that are real are getting 100+ applications.
Thanks for this. I almost died giving birth (as did my daughter) due to developing a severe preeclampsia called HELLP, her being stuck, and a hemorrhage. I faded in and out of consciousness while slurring to my husband not to worry— that I wouldn’t die.

It was hardly easy. 

Afterward, when talking about the experience (my husband was there the whole time, helping my push, bracing my legs, etc. so he witnessed it very clearly) my husband and I decided that labor and delivery is much like warfare was/is for men (as men are typically soldiers). Some men’s bodies were/are more inclined toward battle— some men survived skirmish after skirmish with few scars. Other died their first battle. Others were severely wounded but pulled through. Like warfare, labor and delivery has become more survivable. Less painful for some. But hell, I would never tell someone who stepped on an IED that their battle experience wasn’t as significant as someone’s in the past because they didn’t suffer through being shot up with arrows or torn to shreds with a musket ball. The fact is, we live through more pain now that people did in the past. 

I would have suffered a hell of a lot less pain 100 years ago because I would have died about 3 hours before my labor ended.

 Just differently.  But differently. And we are all more likely to survive it.Jul 09 2007

This is my first blog entry on behalf of Securent as a member of their advisory board. As some of you may know, application security has been a very important issue to me, and a big part of the advisory work I have been involved with has dealt with initiatives in this space. As an advisory board member for SPI Dynamics and a moderator for many events within their Secure Software Forum, I have been an advocate for taking a lifecycle approach to software development and getting the software developers to work more closely with the information security team – and to do it earlier. Progress is being made to secure applications, but what I have learned from my experience so far is that while we do need to do a better job of collaboration between application development and security, we also need to better evaluate the risks of our applications. By doing threat modeling to understand your application attack surfaces and performing a risk assessment it becomes evident that we need to apply some fundamental changes to application architecture. Here are some of the outcomes of those risk assessments I have seen:
- Insider Threats demand more granular and layered security.
- It is not always Dr Evil. A great deal of the security breaches, inside or out, are not caused by genius hackers. Many times, well meaning individuals are poorly trained or are dealing with broken processes. In other instances, an individual is tempted to do the wrong thing, because the application allows authorized users to take unauthorized actions.
- Applications tend to break the security policies you want, or require complex and redundant security controls customized for every application.
- Businesses are reluctant to recode or otherwise make changes to existing applications unless absolutely necessary.
I have been in this business too long to believe in any silver bullets to solve the security problem. However, every once in a while, a new development comes along that clearly is an important piece of the overall solution. In this case, the important piece is eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML), which is why I am blogging for Securent. XACML allows you to leverage all of the foundational components you already have: LDAP/Active Directory, Portals, Security Policies, etc., and build a single security model you can apply to all of your applications in a loosely coupled manner. XACML lets LDAP and Active Directory help you enforce authentication and authorization and lets the application focus on the business requirements without hard coding the security directly into it. It is in fact so powerful that it isn’t necessarily limited to web applications, but can be used to enforce policies within databases and other legacy applications. My colleague Joel Scambray, who was a co-founder at Foundstone before managing security at MSN and probably understands the situation as well as anyone, called XACML the “Universal ACL Language.” Securent has developed what they call an Entitlement Management Solution, built on standard XACML, which allows you to enforce and audit the policies you want in your applications with all the supporting controls and logging.. I look forward to spending more time blogging with you about the business benefits of XACML, about the evolving nature of web security and how we can create a more robust, granular and simpler security model.
