A recent visit to my Jobcentre confirmed something which I have believed for a long time - all employers are as thick as two planks.
I saw a vacancy which required a Chinese-speaking employee who was IT literate and had at least two years' experience.
They had the cheek to demand these skills for £6 per hour. Do these employers live on another planet? What makes an employer think anyone with the ability and the time to learn one of the most difficult languages in the world be stupid enough to work for £6 per hour? Especially in an area which has as high a cost of living as the South-East.
