This is based on the average person, with average education looking for an average job.

Do not base this on a university graduate looking for a job as a clerk.

How easy is it on average to get a job in TT? Caribbean / Tobago & Trinidad

I really believe that is because of three things;

1. The people accept low wages and do not banned together
2. Most are labour related jobs and the people are uneducated
3. The products that are manufactured are much cheaper than in the US. A good example of that is simply fast food. It is about half the price here as compared with the US (except for buffet).

How easy it average get job TT

About a decade ago, if someone was very articulate, intelligent, had minimum qualifications and exuded willingness to work, it was very easy to get a temporary job. But nowadays, the criteria for finding a job is not education, personality or experience but nepotism. I understand that some commercial banks and insurance companies are guilty of this practice. I was told by a friend that the "logic" behind this recruitment system was, management considered this method to be easier and safer, since the history of the new employee would be known thoroughly by the friend or family member of the company.

Personally, I think this is the worse practice that any company could adopt. The following reasons illustrate why this is not a good recruitment system:

1) If a family member or a friend (of someone very senior in the company) is recruited, this creates a lot of dissension amongst the staff members; for instance, if the "new employee" has a higher salary (than other staff members) with no qualifications for the position, other qualified and experienced staff would be disgruntled about this.

2) Also, professionalism would begin to deteriorate, since the "new employee" may not be trained for the position. And also, if clients are aware that the new employee got the job via nepotism, this creates a lot of negative publicity and questions, the objectives of the company (for example, is good customer service important to this company?)

3) New employees may prove to be lazy and not motivated to work hard because his/her current status in the company, will always be permanent and never threatened by poor job performance.

4) New employees may be disrespectful towards others by being insolent and also, refusing to heed simple instructions.

5) It may prove to be a challenge to discipline or control a new employee. Everyone in the company will be aware of the individual's status (that is, who he/she is related to or friends with) and this may become a problem, since no one wishes to do anything, that will upset the new employee.

6) Current, qualified and experienced employees may question the criteria for job promotion. If there is too much nepotism, this may force the qualified and experienced employees to leave the company.
