Along the lines of dumb, “random checks are used to uncover violations” The police do random checks for guns in Bermuda & look how successful that has been.

How is a person supposed to get as far as an interview if they don’t even get a callback on a resume? If an employer gets called out on disregarding a resume how is the person applying supposed to prove they put it in in the first place? It will be the employers word against theirs which happens already & in any case I’ve known about the employer gets the upper hand because they are immigrations bread & butter not the joeblow applying for the job.

The other trick employers use is to set the job criteria so high that there is no in the world one who can fit the full requirements but amazingly they find a foreigner who has had umpteen amount of years of experience, knows how to work in all the computer applications & has a degree that would normally take an American University student 5 years to complete but their third world University has done it in 2.

I don’t totally disagree with your idea but it needs tweaking. I would much rather all applicants first deliver a copy of their resume to the employment officers with a list of companies they would like to apply to that are looking for staff. They get some sort of receipt for the resume & it gets sent to all the jobs they chose to apply to & a date & time for an interview is set up with the employer & relayed to the employment office who then lets the applicant know. This would ensure no one on either side is lying. As for the under qualified & overqualified excuse there should be no overqualified excuse used at all because thats just blatant BS. The under qualified can be remedied by having every single business that states that they could not find a qualified Bermudian to provide proof that the person they want to bring in under permit has those qualifications & that the officer checks through calls to the place the work permit applicant has received experience at for confirmation & also a check into the education the person claims to have. This is just the tip of the ice burg & there are many more ways some expats cheat locals out of jobs & these need enforcement also like more communication between border control 7 immigration to insure the work permit applicant hasn’t already been in Bermuda as a tourist or worked for another company & now switching jobs.

This is all idealistic but at the end of the day this was not measures said to be put in place by the minister so there’s nothing concrete.

It’s better to be assumed an idiotic person, than open your mouth and remove all doubt!

Whenever someone starts their sentence with WHATEVER, it usually means they have lost the argument and have no new valid points to mention. Then their previous points become discredited as they result in abusing and slandering their opposition, just like you have done!

If I need remedial help with the english language then the majority of the waiters in Bermuda now need a full weekly curse in it.

I bet your candya$$ has never done a day of hard labor. At the age 13 I was in front of a concrete mixer shoveling screenings from 7am til 6:30 with only a half hour break every saturday & all summer. Every expat kid I’ve seen get an under the table job doing labor work quits after a week crying about blistered hands & baked skin. The only exception to this are Azorean & Caribbean expat kids but there aren’t many of these since these two groups of expats have been discriminated against for as long as they have been coming to Bermuda & its always been hard for them to bring their families with them.

You won’t be so thankful when the changes cause a rise in poverty & in turn crime to the point nowhere in Bermuda is safe.

Employment officers may not go through trash, but they may ask Bermudians seeking work to submit a list of interviews they have had, or places where they sent their resume. These officers can then check the disclosure made by the employers (as required under the legislation) against what the job seeker has submitted. If there is a discrepancy someone is lying. If the employer has not disclosed an interview they can be fined under the legislation, if the job seeker is lying then bye-bye financial assistance.

Well DUH

Expat kids can’t pay their way as they cant get legal paid jobs!!

HMMMM! Playing a tug a war in your head? Meds not working again?

LOL!!!!

“Parents should only have as many kids they can handle. In a lot of cases this should be 0.

Condoms were made specifically for this…”

I wonder how this can be explained to the biggest group of expats from a certain country here. Especially when they use the catholic religion as an excuse saying that contraception is a sin.

Since there’s no point discussing things with a scum of the earth dickhead I’ll leave you to your empty ranting.

You’re a racist pig.
