I feel for Archie, one of the reasons I gave up with job interviews (the few that I actually heard back from). I don't do interviews where I keep having to go to a location at my own expense just to be told after 3 or 4 gos that they don't want me. I just got fed up and even starting refusing over the phone interviews. I was lucky enough to be picky tho and I understand not everyone has the luxury I have. But companies need to start realizing and soon that young people don't want to jump through hoops, especially if it's over the course of weeks or even months, not everyone has the bank of Mum and Dad to support them.
I've already noticed a significant drop in quality already. Chicken is a lot worse than it used to be. And finding fruit that doesn't have a dodgey one in the bunch is bascially impossible now. You just have to except that nothing will laat as long as it says. I don't even buy grapes anymore due to the huge problem that sometimes half will be inedible and it is standard for them to have black spots on the outisde.
I'm 41 years old and there is one thing I have never experienced in my life. 3 degrees at midday, but 13 degrees midnight. Yep, you read it right. Saturday 23/11/24 was just 3 degrees over the day, but midnight had a temperature 10 degrees higher. Stevenston, Scotland.
Wow. The only place I've ever experienced something similar was in Melbourne. Don't know the exact temperatures, but the night before was warmer than the day afterwards, when a "polar blast" came through. Around lunchtime the temperature just plummeted. Stevenson, New Zealand. 🙂
@@andrewstevenson118 The weird thing is - we had colder weather prior to Saturday. It was with us for few days. But then the hurricane Bert came in on Friday(early morning) and we had strong winds. It peaked on Saturday night and continued for the whole Sunday. It could be a contributing factor, that is for sure. But not convinced as we had the storm going on for few days
I remember as a kid it would snow every year in winter. I'm 38. Now if we get it, it's part of some storm rather than just the cycle of things. We don't even seem to get proper seasons any more, it goes from one extreme to the other.
@@nothereandthereanywhere Yeah, sounds like Bert was pretty bad. Just watching some Aussie news and Sydney is having heatwaves already. In November. Auckland has its faults, but our weather is temperate and I live on the side of One Tree Hill (as per the U2 song) so flooding is one fear I don't have.
@@TalesOfWar I'm Czech originally and we used to get strong winters as well. Now the winters are mild in my location of birth.

It was banned internationally in the 90s.
The reality of things is that it takes months and requires properly applying and searching and learning from previous application, despite the lack of feedback. This is a great mental exercise to rewrite the same story in different words and ways, the same experience, until somehow the words finally fit and you get the job. This is the nature of today’s job seeking. Yes, there are tricks to this, but if you want the job , you really, really want it then you have to go through this process.

At my (not as posh as MrJoB's) private school we were taught to write a CV and were taught how to interview. I've walked into every job I've ever had with a single interview and have had 3 interviews that didn't pan out (2 of which because the job wasn't correctly advertised). I'm in more of a network phase of my career and would hate the system as these callers are describing. Psychometric tests? Not a chance. HR professionals have clearly gone mad with power. I've seen that from the other side too. Its actually hard to convince HR that you genuinely want a true entry level candidate. They deliberately advertise roles incorrectly because they have their own agendas. I've written "no experience required" in the job description but the advert reads "5 years experience required" yet the wages and job title are what you would expect for no years experience. I've no time for HR anymore. I think they have, by and large, lost the plot. That would be an interesting call in. HRs trying to explain their insanity to JoB.

Hey O'brien, have you recovered yet from getting absolutely roasted by Charlie the farmer, that man should be given a medal, made you look the right self entitled muppet you are.
That is why we have weather forecast to evaluate on the potential precipitation to foresee what the risk is and what the potential consequences could be. As an example, in the Czech republic, they did foresee a huge precipitation in Germany and did foresee a large build up of water coming down the river. The authorities coordinated decrease in the river level to a minimum, so they could manage the huge influx of water efficiently. This was an international cooperation to my understanding. Many overseers of dams did communicate about how much water they should be 'sending' to each other and what their current level was in their reservoir. Technology and development can mitigate the risks - but there must be a willingness to build. In UK, there is none. It is privately owned and the government will say that it isn't their responsibility. And the company will not care as people can't push on them(they aren't voted in and you must pay the bills) to make things work.
The loss of jobs is a genuine tragedy, but I hope this is the beginning of a wider trend where fewer people are buying cars. It might force governments to invest more into more and better public transport. Doing big nation wide roll out of such infrastructure could give those people jobs building new busses and trains etc. Assuming we even have the capacity to do that in this country at scale any more. We out-sourced everything in the 80's and 90's, the UK especially. Our manufacturing capacity is horrific compared to our neighbours on the continent.
Storm BP. We should all try to name these climate events after fossil fuel companies.
Great idea!
They haven’t caused it
We need to learn from places like Japan when we talk about disaster prevention and preparedness
The best prevention is to keep the fossil fuels in the ground as much as possible.
