Friends,

As many of you will know, Lehan and more recently, Emmjay and FM have done it tough  in the ongoing search for work.  We’ve encountered some real acts of bastardry – with job applications being rejected by some dopey automated scanning software that just doesn’t work – how about getting a rejection email before you’ve finished submitting the application ?

We’ve also encountered recruitment companies who advertise jobs that are strangely already filled – when they’ve only been open for minutes – just to collect a bunch of CVs for later on.  These people are the scum of the earth for falsely raising unemployed or under-employed people’s hopes.

I created a petition: Bill Shorten – Australian Minister for Employment & Workplace Relations: Ban online advertising of non-existent jobs & automatic resume scanning software, because I care deeply about this very important issue.

I’m trying to collect as many signatures as possible, and I could really use your help.

Or you can Email Bill directly at      Bill.Shorten.MP@aph.gov.au

It’ll just take a minute!

Once you’re done, please ask your friends to sign the petition as well. Grassroots movements succeed because people like you are willing to spread the word!
