Hi, thank you very much for your e-mail! It's been quite busy at the Jobcentre lately, with a lot of meetings etc., so I haven't got the Jet-stuff in the front of my head, at the moment, unfortunately. But when I saw your e-mail, then I remembered, that I haven't heard from Gill, at Jet County Rd. Even if she was supposed to contact me, regarding that she wanted to re-write my CV, a bit. I was wondering if you could please send my e-mail to her, so then she could perhaps contact me back about this. Since I can't seem to find e-mail address here, at the moment, unfortunately. Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Please be directed to my previous email to you dated 17th August (included below for your easy reference) and I suggest to you that its content still applies. You have now been sent an evaluation form for you to complete and return in the pre-paid envelope. This is your opportunity to comment on the standard of service you feel you have received. Additionally, my email makes clear what you should do if you believe you have been treated unfairly in any of your contacts with JET or more specifically the BME Employability Team. Unfortunately, apart from the above, I am no longer in a position to enter into written correspondence with you concerning the issues you raise. I do hope I have made my position in this matter clear.

You've sent me a letter about an assisting store manager vacancy, in Old Swan. Isn't a bit odd that you send me about retail-jobs, that's unqualified jobs, when I have a qualification in IT. And I tried to ask Danielle Roberts, yesterday, who sent the letter, why she sent me the letter, since I haven't met her, and I don't know who she is. Am I registered in a database with you? Also today I received an evaluation-form, from Jet, without any explanation or signature. What was this about? Danielle Roberts avoided my question about who told her to send me the letter. So I'm wondering what's going on. She also made a point of my date of birth. It was a bit like she was ageist, and maybe it was a joke since I'm 40 years old, to put me in food shop, in _Old_ Swan? Also Heron Foods, (which is the employer), are from East Riding of Yorkshire Council, (it says on the internet). And this Council buy services from Bertelsmann, whom I used to work for in the Cunard Building, and they 'messed' with me there, I think I have to say, since they gave me training for a job receiving calls from Council-citizens there, about bin-problems etc., but only I and a Finish girl received that training, which I thought was a bit odd. My grand-aunt in Denmark, is in a direct line after Woden, I wonder if this is something to do with Norse mytology etc., since East Riding of Yorkshire council, per haps is like a 'norse' place? I think this is a bit odd. This is an update, to the e-mail I sent Jet, the complaint about Mr. Birch, from earlier this week. Also, Gill, from Jet County Rd., haven't gotten back to me, regarding an review of my CV. So I think I'm going to wait untill this comlaint is finished being processed before I have any more meetings with JET. Since I think you are doing almost only strange stuff. (Sorry if I'm wrong). I hope this is alright! Best regards, Erik Ribsskog ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been automatically scanned for viruses and malicious content by MessageLabs for your protection ______________________________________________________________________ Hi, well, my impression from Gill, Jet Walton, was that she wanted me to get one of those statements from Naric. And if she wanted me to pay for it, she would have just given me the contact-information to Naric, I think. But I have to speak with her about this then. I've been to Jet job-bank, about a statement from Naric, twice, but I haven't been helped by Jet, to get one. Also, I was at Jet job-bank, on a food hygiene course, last year, and we were told, by the teacher, that Kentrucky Fried Chicken only used the lowest quality of chicken, and that kebabs bought on town, was really a bit like 'dog'. So I think your Jet Job-bank is a mafia-nest. Mr. Pinada, went to see someone, a couple of times, during our meeting. (To do some mafia-stuff). We fist sat down, in a big meeting-room, at the ground-floor. Mr. Pinada wanted me to leave all my degrees etc., in that room, if there wasn't anything of value. Even so. We didn't go back to that room. We went to the Employability Team-office. And then to another meeting-room, at the first floor. Why did we have to have the meeting, in three rooms? Why did Mr. Pinada interrupt the meeting twice, to speake to a collegue? You don't fool me, you mafia-mobsters. You are infected by mob big time, I'd say. Please send this to your superior.

I have requested and received all background information regarding your enquiry, looked at the accuracy of the information and advice you received and reviewed all relevant client case notes. It is my opinion that the service you received was appropriate and of a standard that we expect our Guidance Officers to meet during each and every client intervention. I do appreciate that on occasion the signposting process may lead to a destination were a cost implication is unavoidable and that no suggested sources of funding may be forthcoming. However, these circumstances in no way diminish the accuracy, relevance or quality of the service provided. You are perfectly entitled to be dissatisfied with the service you received and to disagree with my opinion. I therefore encourage you to provide your honest comments, whether positive or negative, on the service as part of our post contact evaluation process. I will ensure you are sent an evaluation form in the next couple of days. An issue of greater concern to me is the references you make in your emails to both your ‘colour’ and that of the BME Employability Team members. You appear to be suggesting that the service provided to you was less than that offered to clients of other ethnic origins and that this was because of the team’s ethnic mix. If this is the case, I must point out that the work of the BME Employability Team is held in the highest regard and that they enjoy an enviable reputation in supporting the needs of all clients in the same professional manner, no matter the race, creed, country of origin or religious beliefs of the individual or group. Any evidence you have of discriminatory practices should be forwarded to me immediately. I will then arrange to meet with you at the earliest opportunity and I can guarantee you that all allegations will be fully investigated. I do hope I have made my position in this matter very clear but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries arising from this email.

Because in the first meeting, then they said there that they could sometimes send to Naric, but not before companies asked for it. And I've had problems with the Jobcentre giving me grief, so then I thought I could ask to get about my qualifications clearified. (And they didn't look at my Upper Secondary school qualifications in the first meeting). So I think it's strange I have to pay the £40. I feel a bit tricked by Mr. Carlos Pineda. He didn't tell me that this involved a £40 bill. I think he should have told me that, in the meeting at Jet job-bank, on Wednesday. It's like he clouded it, about this, I think. Therefore I think I was tricked, I think the normal procedure, in this, is that this goes through JET. Right?

We agreed, that I'd contact Naric, regarding my degrees from Norway. I have degrees at both level 3 and level 5/6. I send about this in different e-mails, first about the level 3 degrees, then I think it's easier to keep the overviev. I went three years on Upper Secondary Business School, in Norway, from 1986 to 1989. For all of these three years, I got a 'vitnemål', that's a (school leaving) certificate. These I think must be at National Diploma-level. The first year, I graduated in 'Grunnleggende handels og kontorfag', which means 'Basic commerce and office-knowledge'. The second year, I graduated, in 'Markedføring', that's Marketing. The third year, I graduated in 'Informasjonsbehandling', that's Information Management. The third year, I had an optional subject, 'Matematikk', that's Maths, (even if we had an a bit un-structurised teacher, in that subject, I'd say, so I only got a 2, as a grade, but that's still a pass). So, since I passed in maths, as an optional subject, then I got a qualification, called 'generell studiekompetanse', earlier called 'examen artium', in Norway. (I think this is what you call A-levels, in the UK). I didn't get this in writing, from my Upper Secondary School. But I got matriculated, at the University of Oslo, in 1991. (Since I had a rest-year, from the Information Management University College, which I studied on then, NHI. And then I got a job in a shop, to save up money for further full time studies. And then I wanted to try to use my mind a bit more as well, since I only sat in the check out in the shop, and I was a bit curios about what 'Examen Philosoficum' was, at the University of Oslo, so I studied there. So the Univeristy of Oslo, can confirm that I have this qualificiation, (I'm sending a copy of their letter), called 'generell studiekompetanse'/'examen artium'/A-levels. Which that I can study at (Norwegian) universities. So these three years at Upper Secondary School in Norway, they gave me three certificates/National Diplomas and one academic qualification, (examen artium/generell studiekompetanse). So I was wondering it I could then please get these transfered to English degrees/qualifications. Because I'm not sure that e.g. the Jobcentre, understand my Norwegian degrees/qualification. (It would then be three National Diplomas I'd guess: - One in Basic Commerce and Office-knowledge/work. - One in Marketing. - One in Information Management. - And also an academic qualification, that means I can study at unversities, (A-levels?). I hope you have the chance to look at this! Thank you very much in advance, for any help! I'm also going to send you another e-mail, about my level 5/6 qualifications/degrees/grades. But I send two different e-mails, about this, since I think it helps with keeping the overview, regarding this. Hopes this is alright! I enclose scanned copies of the three certificates, and the letter from the University of Oslo, regarding the academic qualification, 'generell studiekompetanse'/A-levels(?).

We discussed my complaint. And I explained that the Jobcentre gave me grief, because they say that my degree from Norway, is at level 4, while Jet and Direct Gov say it's at level 5. So we agreed I'd contact Naric, about this, (and to see if my grades from two University Colleges in Norway are enough to get a Bachelor Degree, etc). I appolised for that I think I perhaps over-reacted a bit in my compaint. It's just that I'm a bit stressed from being un-employed, and the Jobcentre are giving me a bit grief regarding this and other issues.

They didn't want to transfer my degree, to a UK degree, so I now strugle, when I apply for work, and the Jobcentre says I'm at level 4, when I'm really at level 5 or 6. I think I really have a level 6, (bachelor), degree. But Jet Employability Team, didn't want to look at my files thorowly, but were almost hostile, I think, (maybe because I'm white, since all of the people in that office were coloured). And they didn't want to transfer my degrees from Upper Secondary School eighter. They only wanted to look at one file, and that was it. But I also have a file from another University College, where I almost got a degree. So I think this really-really is like a Bachelor-degree. But I don't think the person at Jet employability team, seemed qualified to judge this. It seemed like he had enough with finding Norway on the screen. Is it any way I could get this looked at properly?

But you see, I'm from Norway, so I'm not used with 'fancy' sections on the CV, called things like 'Personal Profile', and 'Skills'. So it could be that I get my CV a bit wrong now. And the Jobcentre, Working Links etc., they tell me things like to have those sections, and that the CV shouldn't be more than two pages, and to only write work-experience from the last 10-15 years. So I've changed the CV a lot of times now. But I think it's maybe best for me, to just have a very basic style of CV, like I've learned in Norway. Since CV really means Curriculum Vitea, which means a description of how one have lived ones life. As far as I understand. So really, I'm not sure if the 'fancy' sections should be on the CV, originally. And to cut out pieses of one's work-experience, on one's CV, isn't really true to the original nature of a CV, which means a descripiton of what one have done, in one's life. So I think the Jobcentre, and Working-links are a bit silly, perhaps. But you have given me valueable feed-back. Thank you very much for the feed-back!
