The employment agencies have finally awakened from their slumber and only place budding shooting stars
Finally, the employment agencies have also awoken from their slumber and are gearing up for a new age. "Entry-level programme for the social media stars of tomorrow!" is the name of one of the Job Centre's programmes.
New workshops bring overdue revolution
With mental coaching, they bring the permanently unemployed out of their lethargy and make them fit for further measures. Which are: Workshops for aspiring youtubers, bloggers and influencers. "But what about the normal professions like baker, electrician, roofer, bricklayer? Aren't medium-sized companies desperately looking for skilled workers?" I ask, irritated. The nice job counsellor shrugs her shoulders and replies: "Yes, but since these professions are dying out, the company owners simply have to rethink. Such outmoded jobs simply can't be arranged any more. No one wants to have to work physically hard for a pittance these days. Do you?" I shake my head vigorously, but then add: "Then who will bake our bread and build our houses?" The job recruiter laughs ironically, "Good man, you can order everything on the internet these days." "Oh yes, the electricity also comes from the socket!" I say and slap my forehead with the flat of my hand.
Schantall as a living example
"What about the traditional apprenticeships then?" I want to know. Her answer comes like a shot from a pistol: "They have long since been rationalised away. The incompetent trainees have always cost the companies too much money anyway. Besides, websites like machdudas, for example, place enough people who would do anything imaginable for a few cents. And there have to be a few losers."
Schantall, one of the most successful social media stars of all time, then gives us the best proof....
For waving her grandma on Instagram, Schantall gets millions of likes from her followers. The 20-year-old former hairdresser has long since made a living. Advertising contracts have made the influencer filthy rich. Millions of fans follow her on Instagram every day and soak up her messages. Schantall getting up early in the morning at 11.00 a.m., having a healthy smoothie breakfast, jogging, having a manicure and pedicure, getting her hair done, shi... etc. She has to be beautiful for the red carpets of the world. "I want to share my wonderful life with my fans. And I know I'm a great role model for all the young people out there!" Quickly, she expertly traces her puckered lips and shouts directly to the camera, "You cuties out there, thank you for your support!" I can't help but now can't get the images of a bright red inflatable out of my head. When Schantall notices how fascinated my cameraman is with her slim waist, she flirtatiously bats her long false eyelashes and tells me, "I had my lower ribs specially removed for that." "Wow!" So much selfless sacrifice really leaves us both speechless now. "Aren't you afraid of getting older," I ask provocatively. But she just laughs: "I'm not worried about that, because I have a good plastic surgeon on hand. Not that I've had a lot done on me, but I want to take precautions there." Suddenly, during the interview, her mobile phone rings. On the other end, the contractor who is to renovate one of her penthouse flats in Munich. "Sorry, but construction will start in spring 2025 at the earliest," he tells her.
