Great Idea Gilbert. Only is there any way for me to get the part of the book instead of the whole book? It may be better if u divide the contents of the book into sections and sell them on a piece meal fashion, online. As not every chapter may be relevant. So why pay 14 for maybe only 2 or 3 chapters one may probably need. If you want a template you can check out how the briotherhood are doing it. Perhaps they may even be of help even. Good luck

thanks for the kind offer, Gilbert.

Maybe there should also be a book called:

“How to survive discrimination”
(A survival guide for the marginalised)

What is a “Surivial Guide”?

I will be there to support and buy the book too. Liebuster might be right, it is not about not getting a job but ended up working for a lousy boss. People do make mistakes out of desperation. That could also mean the boss will keep putting up open vacancies throughout the years and still nobody wants to bite the bait . End of the day, there will be no more candidates available because the pool of knowlegeable candiates have been rejected and the employer blacklisted by these rejects.

In the current crisis, we must not just concentrate on training the workers but most importantly educate the employers to be more open minded when treating candidate during the interview.
