How Did Occupy D.C. Protesters Respond to a Table Full of Job Applications?

Occupy DC Ignores Head Hunters Offering Job Applications

The news media watchdog Accuracy in Media (AIM) released a video Wednesday that may denounce the notions from some that the Occupy protesters are primarily concerned with jobs.

In it, “head hunters” set up a table full of job applications near the protest and start offering them to protesters. But the reception they get, according to the video, is less than warm. To many, that might seem odd considering the protesters have camped out in our nations capital for over a month following the Occupy Wall Street protest that began on September 17, partly because of no jobs. Accuracy in Media put it this way in a written statement:

“After more than a month of protest demands for better employment opportunities and benefits, Accuracy in Media saw fit to test their desires with…employment applications. Our ‘headhunters’ were treated to every excuse as to why these jobs aren’t good enough for them. We guess middle management opportunities with healthcare and 401k benefits aren’t desirable anymore.”

AIM Director of Public Relations & Online Development Logan Churchwell told The Blaze by phone Wednesday that while the “head hunters” in the video were AIM employees, the hundreds of job applications they had on hand were indeed genuine. Churchwell explained that while the “head hunters” in the video were not real (and did not at any point reveal to the protesters that they were employees of AIM), the organization did comb over the Washington Post classified page for real jobs, and printed PDF applications for every opportunity they could find for college grads or entry level positions with opportunity for advancement.

That is with one caveat: Churchwell admitted that the Solyndra application (the failed energy company) was the only application that was not real, but the group put it in with the other opportunities to see how aware the protesters were of current events.

Chuchwell said that AIM looked to see how protesters would pursue  job opportunities, “If you handed it to them on a platter.” He concluded that it’s hard to take seriously that the protesters they spoke with were demonstrating against a lack of employment opportunities, given that only two protesters requested job applications from AIM “head hunters” that were at the Occupy DC camp for hours this past Friday.

According to him, the only applications that the protesters took were from Disney and Solyndra.

    AIM should have offered applications for CEO positions which is really what they want despite their ramblings against the “Rich”.

    Another way to improve the response would be to offer jobs whose requirements list a degree in Native American Lesbian Poetry with a minor in green alternative sexual practices of south Asia. That is the kind of crap most of these simpletons are trained in by our useless universities and the even more useless Marxist professors that teach there.

      They are not lying. They say they can’t do those jobs. Those jobs require a certain degree of aptitude and hard work. They are aware of their shortcomings and sitting around and complaining is their ability limit. That limits them to things like liberal activism.

      As the wise Maynard G. Krebs said, “WORK?!?!?”
      Like I said, “They live in a fantasy world.” They all want to be CEO’s and union leaders and their barely out of their diapers. (Actually, they should probably still be wearing diapers. KEEP OUR PARKS CLEAN!)
      Where I live, about 44% of adults have at least one degree. We can’t all be psychologists and teachers. One of my coworkers has 2 degrees and works the graveyard shift unloading trucks. I’m one class from finishing Liberal Arts degree with a math minor myself. We’re not happy about working such a hard job for barely more than minimum wage, but we do what we can.
      What I see from OWS is greed, envy, pride, and sloth, no personal responsibility, no honor, no respect, no humility, and no human decency. It’s no wonder OWS is cheered on by evil groups e.g. Muslim extremists, and Nazis, Black Panthers… and Democrats!

      True story:

      I own a business. A cousin of mine is caught up in the OWS nonsense saying he can’t find a job, and the gov’t is obligated to help every citizen because there are no jobs. I offered him a job (full or part time, good pay, medical benefits). He told me that he was “highly offended.” That’s a real quote. All those protesters want is a check and to sit on their fat, lazy, collective asses.

But yet there is none to be seen on this news. It is the same old people that are posting you can count on them to post a reply or defend the movement. Has this video silenced them have they nothing to say when the truth is being told. I am waiting for one of them to come on here and try to defend this one. We all know who they are by there user names on here. Cat got your tongue on this one? Or maybe there are just going to finally just come out and say the truth. That they want to destroy our nation they desire a king over there life and they won’t be satisfied until there a Marxist government.

      Just come out of the closet and say it already all you on here that want to collapse this Nation. You can tell us we already know the truth. Just say it maybe it will make you feel better. We tell you we believe in our constitution and believe in the individual. Where you believe you desire everything for free. You see we don’t dance around what we really want. Where you on here and you know who you are without completely saying are saying overthrow the government take down capitalism. Give us a King to rule over us. Cause we can’t possibly have children and a job at the same time.We need you oh king to give us everything FREE

As a result,,,they want FREE MONEY so they can scurry about in their “short, pointless lives.”

      Absolutely! They believe that they should have everything that the wealthy have but not have to work for it. They feel that they are above the responsible hardworking tax paying citizens. They signed their student loan, mortgages, credit card agreements etc. I don’t think anyone held a gun to their heads. They need to be careful what they ask for. Socialism will not meet their requirements, what will they do then? I think their protest will come to a complete halt as will their rights to speak out at all. Guess what? They still won’t get a dime from the rich, they won’t have their loans paid off, they will have “sucky” jobs, and all their little selfish dreams will NEVER be fullfilled. What will the OWS do then? I guess they can change their name to OUCH.

    These are childish minds… they don’t understand that practically NO ONE ever walks out of college and a job, never mind a middle management or upper management job is waiting for them….

    Even in Unions, you take a piss-on position where they make you watch, don’t touch, you get crapped on verbally, mentally and emotionally and if you can manage to last and cope with the berating then one day they hand you a tool and say – go do that and if you don’t screw up, you become an office flunky for the next couple of months, sometimes years and you slowly work your way up…

    There are CEO’s that started in mailrooms and worked their way up, you have to understand that you start at the bottom and work your way up, its like everything in life (first you learn to roll over, then crawl, then hang onto things and make you way, then take a few steps, fall down, get back up and get better until you can walk, then run…)

      It is obvious that you and most of the other posters here have no idea what you are talking about. You seem to get your information about the OWS protests from biased sources. Let me tell you what is really happening. I have been a part of the occupy SF movement for a while now. I am a business owner and I employ ~20 people. I have run into many business owners and even a banker. The vast majority of the protesters DO have jobs, and nobody, I repeat nobody is getting paid from any outside source to do this. If we were getting paid we might not be in such desperate need of supplies and help. There are homeless people at the encampments, there are some socialists, and some communists but they are a tiny minority. None of you should be naive enough to believe everything you hear in the media. Did they treat the Tea Party rallies fairly? They did not. Peaceful people with legitimate concerns aren’t interesting, racists, communists, violence, is, so they focus on that aspect and ignore the vast majority of the movement.
      We don’t want to take anything from anybody else, and we don’t want handouts. We don’t hate capitalism, we hate what has been done to capitalism. It has been turned into tool of the upper 1% of Americans to control and steal from the 99%. We just want a level playing field, fairness and democracy. That doesn’t exist anymore. It has been sold out to big corporations. We want B of A and GE to pay taxes. I do, you do, why not them?

I copy this quote from you just to demonstrate that your just another enabler. You boast of being a 99%er when the really percenters are at work providing for themselves and their family. They aren’t out whining about the big bad world, they aren’t crying about how bad it is to have to start at the bottom and move up. They aren’t out protesting constantly and without end hoping for some unspecified action to right some unspecified wrong. And, the real percenters are intelligent enough to see through all of the rhetoric and crop concerning the occupiers and the liberal fools who are supporting them and pushing the agenda.

      LOL..DOGDR….great material…use it at the Improv…”I’m a businessman”. LOL…you’re hysterical. I know lot’s of businessmen who would close their enterprise, abandon their staff, clientele and suppliers, campout indefinitely and blog in the hopes of seeing their college tuition paid for by someone else, their home or business that they couldnt’ afford to buy in the first place paid for by someone else, a high paying job (right away) while bringing nothing but a useless degree in Poli-sci to the table. Oh yeah…you convinced me champ. You’re so a businessman..LOL.

      Your comments (avengerk) really just prove my original premise. None of you know anything about the OWS protests. There is a contingency of campers who will be there constantly and that is actually pretty small. During the day, and especially on weekends hundreds to thousands more join them to show support or march. I fall in that group, as do a lot more who do have jobs and can’t get away so they spend their off there.
      The San Francisco camp is clean and well organized.

      Not just in San Francisco, but around the country a MAJORITY of Americans approve of the movement. Not everybody agrees with the methods, but a vast majority feel the complaints of the protestors is valid. This isn’t the way I would have done it, but something has to be done so I joined in.

      I hope when your business goes belly up because the protestors shut the city down you will not feel any anger. The rest of us are watching, we are prepared, we will survive. I have worked my entire life, served my country, paid my bills, taxes and my student loans. Most of you are so uninformed it is laughable. Today your buddies in the White House allowed Freddie and Fannie executives to collect 12.8 million in bonuses. President Obama received more money from Wall Street than any other candidate ever. You are being duped and they are laughing at you. You are idiots and support the very people that have caused this mess and divided this country. We have been watching and preparing, we know how to take care of ourselves without camping out on public land and making asses of ourselves. we will survive, will you?

      And no, the majority of Americans do not approve of this movement. You need to get out of California for a few days and experience the real world. The majority of Americans are “silent” , observant and very , very informed. Oh, and we vote too

      “But before you launch into a diatribe about banks or the IRS, I ask this question: On what income is BofA supposed to pay income taxes on? The bank lost $5.4 billion in 2010, before taxes. We can argue all day about what‘s fair and what’s not when it comes to huge corporations like BofA and how they configure numbers to reduce their tax bills. But BofA put up a huge red number last year, so there wasn’t a profit to be taxed in the first place under the current tax code.”

      @dogdr: In light of the events at Oakland where they took control of a shipping pier and shut it down causing people that work hard every day to lose a day’s wage. And in light of the fires, looting and vandalism that took place later in the day along with the printed material on how to bring down capitalism I have one question: Would you like to rethink your position?

      Here’s your original quote: “We just want a level playing field, fairness and democracy.”

      Fairness and Democracy are not synonymous. Sounds like you’re a socialist at best and a Marxist at worst.

    oh, sweet Oden’s raven! this makes perfect sense!! need any more proof that the OWS protestors are just free-loading, socialism-loving, unemployed losers?!?!?!?!?!? GEEZ! Good goin’ AIM! Get these idiots out of there! And for all of you trolls that say they “have a right to protest?” No isht. But they avoid one of the very thing they protest! They don’t give a he77 that there “big government and greedy corporations prevent creation of jobs” <>. They don’t WANT jobs! They want handouts. I bet if Soros set up a tent next to the fake headhunters handing out 100 dolla dolla bills y’all, THAT line would be as long as DC is corrupt.

    Maybe the Occupy protesters could smell the fraud and stayed away? Perhaps the AIM employees presented themselves in such a way that they were spotted for what they were? James O’Keefe showed up and was sniffed out as soon as he appeared. There have been other counterprotesters. Also, how do you know that the protesters hadn’t already applied for those jobs. I know several young college grads, one with a Masters, no less, who are unemployed and despite multiple applications, they have received no interviews, either.

      You need to actually read the article…

      “while the “head hunters” in the video were AIM employees, the hundreds of job applications they had on hand were indeed genuine.”

      The only fraud that can be smellid is from the “protesters.”

      I am sure with all the free time they are utilizing trying to coordinate their special events on location that they are exhaustively seeking out employment…How do you know anything other than the apparent…They are not interested in anything more than their own personal notoriety and claim to fame by participating in one of the most pointless acts ever. Seems pretty damn simple…and yes, I am pouring through the ads for employment due to relocation for my spouse. It ain’t easy, but the work is out there.

      I know many whom have masters degrees that have very little to no skills whatsoever. They were good at being professional students and getting into tons of debt through student loans; it sounds like the college grads you know might fit in this category. Having a degree doesn‘t necessarily mean you’re employable or “smart”.

      I hire people every week. I absolutely would not hire anyone associated with this movement, never. I only employ stable , responsible individuals. I went to our local OWS and took pictures and posted them on my bullentin board so I would have a “visiual ” of them just in case they woke up and decided to work. Not working at my place, not now, not ever
