help im being oppressed! I cant find a new job........racists!

Vesayen · April 16, 2003, 15:19

The place I've worked for the last 2 years just went out of buisness......which is bad because it was an EASY job and I could browse the internet while I worked.........

I've been looking for a month, cant find a new job........

I go, if I talk to a person and it seems like they will hire me, the second I mention I cant work friday night/saturday day(night is fine) they loose interest........

Any application where I put that down is rejected(I scribble in the margin that it is for religious reasons).......

Cant work on friday night/saturday day so no one will hire me!

Racists!

Not a good job market right now. Keep at it. Good luck.

Gee... somebody who WOULD work Saturday night and Sundays... I would think somebody would snap you up in a minute

Good luck... looking for work is a pain...

The only solution to this I can think of is to try to find a local buisness owned by an observant Jew.......but that isnt something to easily find out, do I go to the front desk of a buisness and say "Hello, does a Jew own this place?".

How is that racist? They want someone who can work that day. They don't have to accomodate you because your beliefs.

Stuie · April 16, 2003, 15:56

I too fail to see the racist element. If your availability does not fit in with my business needs, I'm not hiring you no matter what.

Ben Kenobi · April 16, 2003, 16:04

It's no different for a Christian who wants to take Sunday off. There are two solutions:

One, you turn down jobs that ask you to work on Sundays, or two, you figure out some way to accomodate both.

My solution for two was to go to church before I started work in the morning, first thing at 8. It meant I would be tired by the end of my shift, but I would use my day of rest as Monday.

The justification I could use is that Jesus said the "Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." So long as I took a day off for rest and reflection, I felt I adhered to the Christian teachings.

Although I would have much preferred not to work on Sundays, I needed a job badly.

Ming · April 16, 2003, 16:11

Vesayen... just check all the local temples. Explain your problem, and I'm sure they would be willing to help you contact business run by their members. If anybody would understand, they would...

Again... good luck.

Thena gain - you could always sue the bastards, and get very very rich

Japher · April 16, 2003, 16:20

It's not racism... if he sues I will lose all respect for him... Not hiring someone to work because they don't want to work when it is required is not racist.

Trust me I should know...

ROFLMAO

It's been a while since I saw the quest for the holy grail

Actually, I think that in Israel one would be able to sue, if say, he couldn't work sundays / fridays (saturday is the official resting day) and would lose a job on that ground.

Unless the job is unique in its field and it is deemed necessary to work on sun / fri.

Of course I wont sue, first off I have no proof, second off it would be morally corrupt(just because they are racists, dosent mean I am entitled to their money.....it just means they are racists).

The day there is peace between Israel and the palestinians, I will make Aliyah-and yes, I really literaly mean that. My fear of future tentions is the only thing keeping me in America.

Im a minority? I didnt know-where is my affirmative action?????

I can work at any time of day or night even rediculously late or early, just not saturday day or friday night....I dont think thats asking for much considering I am VERY flexible besides those hours.

Vesayen:

You might never come to Israel if you are always afraid of the tensions. If you want to go, then you should, and let everything else work itself out.

you fill out your religion on college applications and can recieve more financial aid based on it, from school supported religious groups on campus. it's still getting money from the school, albeit indirectly.

blacks to africa! jews to isreal!

i like the way this thread is going!

ok, i'll say i'm kidding, because that can totally be taken harshly, and i'm not in the mood to go polyless for a week

Dauphin · April 16, 2003, 19:20

Looking for work at the moment is a nightmare. I'm having no luck either. I think its because all employers are prejudiced against white anglo-saxon protestants with a good education and middle-class background. Bastards the lot of 'em.

DAMN RIGHT! us middle class whites get screwed man. affirmative action is reverse discrimination.

Az · April 16, 2003, 19:32

actually, it is, but I'd be spoiling the thread now.

Vesayen: that's what you get for not keeping up with the times.

. Seriously, you should come to Israel, if it is such a problem. Saturday is our holiday.

( though on the other hand, you might not get a job here too. 10.3% unemployment!

)

And learn how to drive, none of you Israeli's can drive heh. The last time I was there I was walking through Jerusalem at night and RIGHT infront of me someone ran a red light........he hit a car, which hit others.....in the end it was a 12 car pile up, which missed me by 10 feet or so......
