JOBLINE MANPOWER SERVICES

This is actually just a simple rant to a manpower agency named JOBLINE MANPOWER SERVICES located at Aurora Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City. They are giving flyers and joining job fairs along the Metro. At first look, you wouldn’t think that there’s something fishy going on because of the decent uniforms they’re wearing and their so-called “best job slot.”  With that disguise, job seekers like me is an easy prey.  A written exam is their first process for new applicants, followed by an interview after you passed. In the interview, they are asking you to pay an amount of 500 php for the medical fee even without any employer yet. If you do not have the amount yet, they’ll just take an amount which you can give as partial pay. I paid the medical fee and took the medical exam in a clinic which they are tied with. The medical exam is the usual fecalysis, urinalysis, hematology, and X-ray. My nurse friend said that it should not cost over 300 php. I took and paid the medical exam thinking that I will earn it back once employed. Next process is the orientation, in which they are talking about the possible positions we may work. At the end of the orientation, they are asking again for an amount of 50 php for the agency ID, they said we should have it because all transactions will be entertained if you have that, the ID is only in typical size with my name and the agency name printed on it and not laminated.

In the next day when all things are paid and done, it’s now the deployment day! We went to a company the agency told us to go. We realized that the company is illegal and not a good place to work with. The company’s daily salary is below the minimum wage with 12 hours of work, without overtime pay and without even any healthcare benefits. Of course, we refused the offer. I would not want to work in a “win-lose” job. That company is making a big profit but their employees are not! Not only that, the agency made a job mismatched. The available position in that company is “Machine helper” which is not in my line of expertise,  I don’t fit there and my qualifications don’t even so.

Great joke isn’t it! They are making money out of all the applicants they’re accepting every day! While their dismayed applicant like me is in regret still jobless, fooled and deceived!

Lesson learned I’ll never trust any agency that easy again. I better get my nice ass home in the province and farm 😀
