Time for an SNL Skit?

Comment #69: Time for an SNL Skit?

Your article confirmed my worst fears. These companies lower US workers wages, discriminate against US workers, graft resumes and degrees, lie, cheat, and obtain "right to represent" only to ghost candidates. I wondered why I was being scouted for jobs paying what I earned at my first job 22 years ago (all short term temp and no benefits or room for growth). They all pressure you to sign "right to represent", demand people give compromising personal data, and ask inappropriate questions (i.e- age and year of graduation, SSN etc) only to ghost. The client never likes the American resume even if that person is agreeing during a bad market to be paid less than 1/4 the prevailing wage and is vastly over qualified. They also need to consult a map; the jobs they send are often 5-6 hours from where I live each way! Many barely speak English and speak very quickly and *loudly*. It would be funny if not sad. I am waiting for SNL to do a skit on this. I could give them material. And it's a lie that there are no qualified Americans. So many qualified people are unemployed right now. The perception, as you have highlighted, is mostly due to this scam. I also had a recruiter make my resume look bad on purpose (long story how I found out) so I'd be passed over. Never again. If any recruiter in general asks me for personal info online (even during covid) I decline. Same with a "word version" of the resume (so they can fabricate or use it for an H1B person's resume). I am gullible. Not anymore. Also, when I have worked with H1B visa employees I found there I be a lot of backbiting and a very bad attitude in general. There is an arrogance, poor view of Americans, and attitude of entitlement. Then the same people (who often think very little of Americans and especially non-Indian minority Americans) will turn around and claim discrimination. Much as the fake scam firms with a stream of bogus resume H1B workers claim to be "minority owned business" for taxes and to seem diverse. I advise everyone not to fall for this scam.
