#jobseeker

So the latest Federal Budget spends $17 billion on tax cuts as a naked attempt to buy votes in the upcoming election.

Meanwhile, the Jobseeker payment (the unemployment benefit) could be raised to around the Henderson poverty line (roughly $80 per day instead of the roughly $50-60 per day) at a cost of $9.5 billion per year.

Keeping people in abject poverty, unable to afford the basics, is a choice made by both major parties.

The Australia Institute · Jobseeker payments are too lowNo-one in Australia should have to live on $56 a day. The current Jobseeker payment is inadequate by every metric, and the majority of families that rely on it live below the poverty line.

Them: Hi, this is <recruiter>, at <company>. Are you currently looking for a new opportunity?

Me: I am!

Them: My client is looking for <list of skills/experience which I have>. Can I send you the job description?

Me: Certainly!

Them: Okay, I've sent it.

Me: <reviewing> ... developing agentic AI for <X part of> the banking sector ...

Me: No, thank you.

Them: Pardon?

Me: The job is developing "AI" to be used against the financially vulnerable.
That's unethical, and I won't do it.

Them: But you're looking for work?

Me: Yes, but not unethical work.

Them: ... but you're looking for work?

What is so hard to understand about having ethical standards?

#hiring#know#jobs

Imagine if everyone had access to safe #housing & a modest #income without having to be dragged through performative makework designed to make governments look like they're not 'soft on bludgers' (the demonised other). Anything could happen!

Women could leave violent partners & kids could grow up in safe homes. Adults could take their time finding the ways they want to contribute to society. People could have time & resources to build communities & support each other.

The horror.

From the tenacious Rick Morton: #JobSeeker payment system errors prompt review thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/l

The Saturday Paper · Exclusive: JobSeeker payment system errors prompt reviewBy Rick Morton

I'm at my employment services provider, and listening to a phone call she's having with another client.

This other client has had her #JobSeeker payments suspended because she hasn't submitted her record of job applications.

It's very obvious that she isn't tech savvy at all, and the DES worker is asking if her (it sounds like pre-teen?) daughter can help her with submitting the job record.

Meanwhile, she's not getting any money.

What are some tips for a US citizen looking to find a software engineering job in the EU / Norway?

I'm tired of our politics sucking so much ass, and I'm genuinely scared for the 2024 election.

I'm conversational in Spanish and Japanese and I'm learning Norwegian Bokmål (I can speak enough to get directions).

So far, I've been applying to Norwegian / EU jobs on LinkedIn, but most require that you are in the EU already or EMEA.
