I've been made redundant

I think that goes back a few years, ask Wol:o:eek:

The training courses the jobcentre will offer you are things like "reading, riting and rithmatic" as well as confidence-building courses - nothing that is actually usefull if you already have confidence and can read, write and can do sums:rolleyes:

If you are really lucky, they will send you on a 6 week retreat where you can learn pottery and creative writing.

Don't hold your breath too much for the courses, I was signing on for almost 6months and got offered one to write a CV, which I duly went on, and when the man looked at my CV, he asked why I was there as he couldn't do a better job :rotfl:Just some box ticking exercise then!

Good luck for the searching hun, have been off line for ages, so thought I best catch up with your thread

hi numpty - how is it going? have you made your cv searchable yet on monster and totaljobs? You never know that might make the difference...

I didn't get the job I went for last week but I've got 2 interviews this week so still hopeful...

Numpty_Monkey

An appology to savingholmes, I havn't put my CV on monster yet, I've been having a few bad days and started getting down:o, but a little break was needed, so I'll be right on it;)

Bad luck about the job, but gut luck for the other interviews:T

I've got a letter from housing benefit, they are processing my claim:j

the question is, is it the original one from February, the new one from March, or the backdated one

Numpty_Monkey

Signing on day again:rolleyes:
don't it come round fast

Keep your chin up Numpty...I recall signing-on days as being particularly depressing - a day when it gets "shoved in yer face" more than normal that you're unemployed. I just had to remind myself not to take it personally and regard it as being any reflection on me personally that I was in that position.

The one2 weeks ago pigged me off bigtime the snot nose arrogant little !!!!!!,

This week she was very nice and pleasant, and understanding, asked what I'd done to look for a job and honest enough to say there isn't anything around, just to keep looking and hope something comes up:A

and she had a low cut top on so that was a bonus:D

I remember signing on day with a particuar loathing too, it was always as though they couldnt give a damn, just grunting at you "sign there"

My OH lost his job a couple of weeks ago, so now its his turn, its his first "humiliation", aka appointment on Tuesday........
