rtbiscuit Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 i might actually apply for that first post i mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Going by the website and job descriptions, I cant apply for any of the management positions as I dont have a degree or post graduate qualification. Back to the daily grind then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Im not surprised - I used to work for a company that only dished out management positions to people with degrees, and trainee managers were only open to post graduates. They ended up with a management team that didnt know its arse from its elbow, with no prior experience in managing people, and a workforce that despised working for people who had no interpersonal skills what so ever. It was the best way of introducing a "them and us" culture I'd ever seen. Going by the current candidate descriptions, Lord Alan Sugar would be rejected for a managers role at JLR based on his educational qualifications Do JLR do the same as most other corporates though and advertise these roles externally knowing full well that the job is already filled internally, but they do it to appear as if they are being "fair" to all. I know that went on all the time at other companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the recession "savings" were made so there simply isnt the headcount right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Ill bet those savings weren't largely made from the top of the tree though A bit of shuffling the deckchairs to make the workers think the managers are in the same boat etc. Do you get a bonus if JLR take on someone who you reccomend? CSC used to do that, and it wasnt too shabby either, a couple of grand if I recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 sadly no otherwise this post would have been up earlier tbh they did a pretty fair chop all round the company. we were very contractor heavy though at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I think contractors have been cut from many companies - and to be fair while there are a fair number of good contractors, there were also a lot that did the job only half as well as an internal member of staff could, but at three or four times the price! You should moot the idea of a reward scheme for reccomending an employee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
