Unemployment / Job placement certificate
The following situation:
I was terminated for operational reasons from 30.07.2009 to 30.09.2009.
I am now self-employed and actively looking for work. I am registered as a jobseeker. I search for jobs on the internet, including on the job agency's website, and I was quite shocked to discover that, without exaggeration, at least 80% of job offers are posted by private employment agencies.
After sending several applications via phone, mail, and email within a 50km radius, I always received the same response: "Unfortunately, we cannot consider your application as you do not meet the requirements of the placement certificate." I called the job agency, and they told me that I have to be on unemployment benefits for at least 8 weeks before I can get these jobs or the certificate.
Something is definitely wrong in Germany, even if it is regulated by law. I could start a job immediately without becoming unemployed and burdening the state or the office. It can't be right that I have to become unemployed before I can find work again. The state should be interested in keeping people employed rather than integrating them into unemployment. I cost the office €1231.86 per month for two months of unemployment benefits. The certificate is worth €2000, so if all companies calculate like our country does, it's no wonder that so many companies are insolvent. It doesn't surprise me that our country and the job market are so poor in this area.
Is there any way to obtain this certificate without being on benefits? Apart from paying the amount directly to the agency, but I can't bring money to work. This should really be forbidden - being prevented from working by such laws that, in my opinion, are almost illegal.
If 8 out of 10 jobs require this certificate, it is no wonder that one becomes unemployed with the involvement of the country. Is there anything that can be done?
