Posted By The toecap Where in GM plese and what is the salary?

Posted By snt Are you in a position to make decision on employnment? If so, I would expect you to use your company email or address. If not you might actually be breaking employment law, and you are most likely to be sued if I send my CV to you and was not shrt listed for interview.

Posted By snt For this particular role I am good to be shortlisted based on the requirement for the job and beside I am SNT hoping to teach to my employer "compliance".

Posted By Charley Farley-Trelawney It was refreshing to note that the poster of this no doubt genuine advertismnt took the time to include a phone number; I wish you well with your search for a suitable candidate. CFT

Posted By snt I did not ask about contact details, all I asked is whether the advertiser is in a position to employ a candidate i,e having the authority to do so by his/her employer. If so, then it would be appropriate for the advertiser to use company email and address.But if not, the advertiser could be breaking employment law. The next poser is that the advertiser is likely to be sued if my CV is not shortlisted for interview if he is not in a position to do so. This is just an awareness to advertisers that candidates have rights as well. For a start a CV sent directly to employment agencies or the company is quite different to the one send to XXXX@hotmail.com. The next poser asked suggested that the basis for interview selection is based on me being good for the job in the first instance, which I replied that I am good for the job as I am SNT. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR JOB!!!!!!. All I am doing is raising awareness through this medium, and raise the profile of Health and Safety professionals. Just because people are looking for positions in H&S, we should not put up with mediocrity, just as you cannot prebooked a taxi or order a pizza with mobile number (they required land line) so also mobile phone is not good for job postings.

Posted By Philby' Paul, the forum is also for those that require advice on careers, whether that be preparing CV's, interview advice, whether or not to make a jump, asking peers for their experiences, and warning or being warned of unscrupulous persons....I'm not saying that this threads poster is, but there are a few scams circling where the numbers are premium rates, some at £15 per min, and emails that are spammers/virus spreaders etc...employers, or their representatives acting on behalf of them, like snt, I would have thought, would operate by a company email or website....

Posted By Philby' MDE, thanks, I wasn't casting aspertions, just attempting to bring some context....hope you find what/who your looking for Philby'

Posted By snt MDE, Thank you for the posting. Your apology is accepted. However, I am sure you will not be using us to test the water to finalise the job profile, if you have to pay for the advert as you are most likely to justify the cost with your finance manager. This are poser for you: 1. When is the job going to be advertised in the press? 2. What will happen to those CV that have been posted your hotmail account? 3. Are they going to be delivered to your HR department for consideration? 4. What is the implication for those CVs collected on behalf of your company in terms of Data Protection and compliance? Moreover, are you in a position to advertise directly employ somebody for the role? The above questions are asked to assure the forum users that though they have been used to test the water, there is light at the end of the tunnel for them Your apology is ACCEPTED.

Posted By MetalMan I have been a regular visitor to the IOSH forums for a number of years now and have found a lot of good information and advice. I have for the past few years studied non stop to become competent enough to join IOSH as a graduate member which I intend to do this summer. I have notice over the past few months that the general level of criticism , back biting, condescending and snide remarks posted here has increased to the point where I really am finding it quite tedious to visit the site. Whether it be belittling remarks, sarcasm, or general one-upmanship,it is becoming far to common on what I consider to be a world leading organisations site. I visit several other sites where the overall feeling is one of freindship and assistance to all levels of our profession. Am I wrong or has anyone else noticed this?

Posted By Anthony Kelly I have to say that I agree with metalman's comments. As a frequent visitor to the forums and an occasional contributor I find some of the comments made quite astonishing. Rather than being helpful some contributors seem to go out of their way to be negative, find fault where none exists and contribute to postings that are completely irrelevant to their circumstances. I don't understand why people who are not looking for work continually respond to a thread relating to work seekers. We should do what we can to eliminate people who are posting ads irresponsibly or are fishing for c.v.'s. I would hope that the vast majority of professionals who use this forum have more productive ways to spend their time than to pick fault with postings that they really have no interest in and which are completely irrelevant to their experiences. Though of course it is much easier to find fault and point out the percieved mistakes of others than to be positive, supportive and to encourage others.
