Overhaul The Job Market When Applying Online

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

"Sorry you have been unsuccessful"
I made this petition to ask for help, specifically the government to look at the current state of the job market online. A complete overhaul needs to be made, having rules in place to have jobs more accessible.
Most entry level jobs require experience creating a catch 22. There is also a lack of apprenticeships, make it more worthwhile guaranteeing a job at the end. Make it so you have feedback when you receive an unsuccessful email. Have the job submit an application if their job is required or not for the person to have a car. Make hiring teams priority to hire people in the catchment area. Make supermarket jobs not require a reference to get into the job market.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
