just thought id post some thoughs i have about the increase in companys moving to paperless systems and some of the things they do right and wrong
going paperless
the ultimate bennefit to theese online systems is that it is on the whole increasing productivity now instead of having to fill out paper forms and send them in to be digitized and entered into the database they can effectivley be entered directly into the database by the person filling out the form which is good and saves alot of time as well as improves search times for applications
ease of accesibility
this is where the plan starts to fray a bit in my opinion sometimes theres things that are going to online application that shouldnt be one example is council housing applications where i agree there online house finder and application is good cause it makes the process faster and cleaner it also makes it less accesible to anyone who will inevitably fall though the cracks
such as
the elderley
the homeless
those without computers
the same also applies to the new goverment universal jobmatch system which
involves jobseekers needing near unlimited access to a computer in order to be able to use it effectivley all parties give there own answers and solutions but they all seem to use them as scape goats to the real problem for example
use a library computer yes its a solution but do you really want to be throwing all you personel information into a public computer when you probably dont know how to clear the cache and the cache that rememebrs what you commonly enter into a text box
use our special job search lounge
ok how are you justifying funding a room with 30 ipads to be a cost saver over a paper form and same issues again with the library system only now the supply of machines is limited not to mention a hacker would LOVE to get his dirty mitts on a goverment unsecured wifi connection
if there going to start using a paperless system there going to fail you need there to be a redundant system in place for anyone who can and will fall through the cracks even if its you speaking to the elederley blind gentleman while you fill out the online form for him at your desk
security ABOVE and below
universal jobmatch is my main offender here they first set you up with a verry convoluted login info that consists of a arbitrary number of about 12 charecters seperated by spaces this will be your usuer id so start remebering 2736 37263 5958 cause youll be using that alot next they give you what they thing is a good password so now emmorise 6chs9fn49d there is the option to change this password but there system is either stupid or failing bad because out of the blue the system will always forget your password and wont let you login if you change it im gussing they keep rolling old backups so from the get go there login alone will cuase problems for people
then theres your data they will make wait im sorry you have to make your c.v searchable to employers so you effectivley place your mobile number possibly home address and your email viewable to employers not a big deal but they openley say its not there responsibiltiy to ensure the authenticity of employers using the system further justified by the constant scam job poistings that seep through the cracks so now your left to fight the hoardes of scammers and con artists that want your money and data otherwise youll loose everything and be sanctioned for not participating in finding work
if your going to host a online system be responsible for your system and the safety and security of your members and users
faster does not mean more
boots are the top perpitrators for this they seem to think that because its faster to apply online they can have you do a bigger application so rather than a c.v and a few questions theyll ignore your c.v have you fill it all out again they make you submit 4 seperate applications ranging from working shifts to quizzes on customer interactions to one that just plainly reads as a psychic evaluation
its not good its just annoying when i want to work for you and have to set asside a chunk of my day to fill out your insanley long applications just to get a interview when the interview is going to include almost everything ive told you
email is email take it or get out
short one most people require a isp email so @virginmedia @aol @bt @blueyonde
library users cant get one of theese and even people who have theese still use google and other services because its a morer permernant email adddress that they wont loose if they switch service providers
have monkey will code
yeah some of theese systems are just bad i mean real bad
equality what equality
ok straight up i dont undersand this i know that theres equality and race acts in the uk but why do you need to know my ethnicity gender and sexual orientation based on the equality and diversity act sureley if your following this act you would collect applications blind or is it that you use theese as statistics to show off and what if your statistics are low in 1 ethnic group are you going to start playing the ploices game and having huge employment drives aimed soleley at certian ethnic groups diversity does not mean equal numbers of everyone all in nice neat groups its diverse as the name suggests 100 australians 20 british people 5 irish 17 muslims no care about the numbers just hire them and accept them because they were good at what they do
checkboxes are like a legally binding prommiss and im totally a upstanding citezen
this one is going slightly off topic but still somewhat rellevant
just because a user clicked the yes i am over 18 website does not mean they are actually 18 why have this box and then allow everyone who is not 18 to view porn buy tobbaco products and do other adult services it dosent make sense to me just remove it
thats my rant im off to go do battle with a online housing application
