I just signed on for benefits for moment as I have just left my job. This is my first time on JSA and I'm having trouble with the Universal Jobmatch site. How exactly am I supposed listed down jobs I've applied for since I tend to use Indeed and TotalJobs more since they offer more jobs than the Universal Jobmatch site does.

From my job centre days in 2013 time, I remember indeed was pretty favoured by the job centre then or maybe the advisor was just more savvy and I was lucky. In fact I think that is who I remember learning of indeed through in first place.
Personally I don't mind Jobcentre site as least it gives an option to 'poke' the employer when you can click the request feedback button!!! not really an option with others just yet. I quite liked the daily log part which was pretty useful and where you can add notes of other site activities which I believe was how the Jobcentre used to like it anyway.0 -
There should be an option to add actions or jobsearch activities which aren't linked to advertised jobs.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0

When you sign up to the universal jobs site thingy (Its been a long time) you can manually enter activity from other sites in your profile section of the site, your adviser will show you where it is.
As long as you record the Job, Date Applied and the Job Ref number (All copy and paste) then you will be fine. No need for pen and paper to be honest.
Good luck finding a new job, my experience applying was not pleasant but rent forced my hand, fortunately my first meeting with my adviser was to tell them i had found another job.0 -
There is no obligation to let DWP staff anywhere near UJM. You don't have to give them access if you don't want to. You have to register with it, but no more than that. I didn't use it because it's just a terrible site, and I much preferred Indeed etc.
As long as you can evidence job searches in other ways, there shouldn't be a problem. Although some job centre staff will tell you otherwise - I had to be quite assertive in refusing them access.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
