Verona, the announcement in the company: “There is no shortage of work, look for someone who wants to work”
Among the curricula there were also those of waiters, shop assistants, hairdressers. A portrait of the crisis – I start with the anti Covid measures – of some branches of that tertiary sector which in Verona remains a leading sector for opportunities. The point is that I CVs arrived at Cosmek were 150 in one month. “The cartel was born from the fact of not being able to find more or less competent people who liked their work: in the end, summing up, the message was useful”.
The staff is missing
The cartel is what it is Cosmek exhibited outside its gates, in Monteforte d’Alpone, east Verona, where the company headquarters is. Title: “There is no lack of work, no workers – Looking for a person who wants to work”. Under: “High pay“. Asterisk: «In case of inexperience we will take care of training: you need seriousness and a desire to learn». In the message there is also a quote from Article 1 of the Constitution: “Italy is a democratic republic founded on work“. Daniela Andrioli, owner of the company together with her brother Marco, says: «We have been trying to integrate the staff, let’s talk about last year, and thanks to that sign we are now making the selections. The posts were for a carpenter and a fitter. For one of the two positions in the short term ». Foundation and family management since 1972, in total about ten employees, Cosmek deals with greasing solutionstank lubrication and production, as well as supply control and management systems. That in Verona companies there is a need for employees is also testified by the latest Excelsior report by Unioncamere.
«University is not always the right path
According to Andrioli, the fact is that «today most of the children study. That slice of young people who can leave the technical institute and immediately began to learn the profession has dropped, also because they are carried. In my opinion, university is not always the right path. Another theme – is the sometimes higher motivation in foreigners who have to help their family, a respected Italian guy who could come from a comfortable situation“. That high pay message? «We wanted to dare a signal. We think that if you work well and are passionate about it, it is right that you are paid to the maximum. Companies go ahead thanks to the people who like work: if on Mondays you get depressed at the idea of going to work things are destined to go badly for you and for those around you ». The message of the cartel, Andrioli, had also published on social media, before receiving those 150 curricula in a month. Including the resumes of people who “come from completely different sectors, who have nothing to do with it, such as the tertiary sector: shop assistants, waiters, even hairdressers”. The sign of a historical period that now, if not enough, proposes the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “Our company has no repercussions – says Andrioli – but in general we hope that all this will end soon”.
