To be honest, over here, we don't. To say, there isn't any position open, is being untruthful, because there are plenty, yet they will refuse an application when it's offered.
why?
Because, they prefer a certain type to work in their little environment - and because a lot of the heads (pardon me) are not totally qualified as well, they worry about who they hire. That is the brutal truth. Some people get there because they worked their way up or they know someone in the organisation, who got them in. People don't like to rock their boat, and want to play it safe.
It happens especially in the helping profession.
I wasn't even asking for employment, I'm searching for a placement for which I am prepared to convert as a volunteer after the placement period to show my gratitude. It's certainly not because of a lack of experience in that profession, so what else can it be? Insecurity.
Insecurity does things to organisations and people running it.
They want to keep everything within their control lest they loose control.
How can we say we are interested in helping people when we do not have the interest to get the relevant help i.e. get more qualified people in. Society has been plagued with problems from the day of inception and unless we truly wish to help, generations will also be plagued by the same.
For many reasons, I chose to stay away, because what is worst, is we are in the helping profession yet our comfort level comes first. that is not helping, it's selfish.
