I have recently become unemployed and I know a number of people who are too. While looking for jobs, I thought maybe there are Jews in my community or in the community at large that could help us out. Do you think it’s awkward to go over to businessmen and ask them to help you find a job simply because both of you are Jewish?? I feel we have the upper hand in finding jobs because of our common factor in being jewish and Jews should help each other out. Let me know if this makes any sense.
When u r out of work there is nothing wrong with asking a business owner if they have any openings or can offer a reference the worst they can do is say no.
From the Working with guys http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/working-with-guys
as well as other threads, you can see why someone would specificly NOT look to hire frum individuals.
I know a frum business woman who tried not to hire frum women. From her experience, they were just not reliable (whether taking off for a siddur play or a week before pesach to clean is justified or not, those were the facts).
gavra,
but isn’t it at all possible that giving parnassa to a yid will bring enough extra bracha to make up for these inconveniences?
Also, I don’t understand why you would want to be in the position of persuading anyone who reads your post not to hire frum people. I would think that potentially being a cause of another yid not getting a job would not be a great idea right before the yemei hadin when we all ask for a year of parnassa.
I find it a little sad that a frum woman would rather hire non-Jews than Jews who really need jobs (to work for a FRUM boss is so beneficial). At my old job, my boss was a goy and he specifically let the frum women go home early due to the kids, household issues, school functions, or for yomim tovim.
But I don’t know the situation, so I can’t judge.
Hey, I need a job too and I’m asking anyone I know
I was thinking of starting a businessmans club. Where unemployed guys get together to discuss business ideas and retired businessman give them chizuk and guidance.
Would anyone be interested in this?
if anyone wants my job, im leaving end of october…but will be looking for an accounting job in lakewood 🙂
Cshapiro,
Would they want entry level?
charlie: I agree that giving the Yid Parnassah is well worth the inconvenience.
However, I will suggest (which was the point) that people should not look to specifically work in only frum places. If you do (and even if you don’t), don’t take advantage. It may backfire, both on you and others that will not follow.
cshapiro, what do you do? and when are you getting married? and are all cr members invited??????? i think it would be funny if i’d come to you and introduce myself as yummy cupcake!
it can be an entry level….but i think she would prefer a female….
i work for a cpa firm, we were gonna become partners but i just cant commute everyday…im getting married a few weeks after succos and of course everyone in the cr is invited….the more the merrier 🙂
cshapiro, is this firm located in Brooklyn?
yay!!!!!!! can’t wait!!!!! why don’t you post a link to your invitation…..
My boss does not like hiring frum people either because what if he has to fire them (It really happend, I suggested someone for a job and he deserved to get fired)
If he has to fire someone, he would rather fire a puerto rican than a jew (We are talking about someone who deserved to be fired, which this individual deserverd to be)
DISCRIMINATION jk 🙂
cshapiro, are they really looking to hire a replacement?
Z,
That’s really messed up logic. He doesn’t want to feel bad about firing Jews so he’d rather not hire them?
we are located in park slope brooklyn, we called machcone lparnasa, touro and agudah to find someone….so if ur interested call one of those places (the first or last would make most sense if ur not a student at touro) and we would love to set up an interview…the position is best suited for a CPA major/accounting student…
gavra,
I agree with you 100%
Ps we will be at touros job fair next week…
