Wonder what they are really selling to pay the bills?
Not even trying to hide it now
There's one in Peel St, near North Tce. Used to be a brilliant little cafe called Toast. There's 2 thriving convenience shops withing spitting distance of this joint.
Walk past it on the way to the train station, the drinks fridge has about 3 drinks in it, and there's empty boxes of chewies/mints on the shelves. Had the closure notice up recently but is sadly operating again. There's a revolving door of what I assume to be "student visas" hanging out in the shop and out the front.
Agency rings me up with a glowing candidate, tells me that he's a mechanical engineer.
Me "Why the f*** would a mechanical engineer want to be here doing ............., he'll get f******* bored in one day" A "He just wants to branch himself out into a diffferent field" M "I have 30+ applicants a week that are mechanical engineers yet they wouldn't even know what a f******* spanner is, let me guess, he's Indian?" A "Yes, he is a matter of fact, and he's a young lad"
No shit, they must give out ME degrees over there in corn flake boxes, it seems to be the go to trade for any CV.
I have offered him an interview but I can guarantee he will come with his own set of rules to follow and hours of availability and then won't rock up on day one if I do hire him.

Fortunately I'm close to filling all roles.
As my old man says "Yesterday I couldn't spell engineer, today I is one!"
I'm also fond of "Engineers were so much better when they stuck to driving trains"
