Dispatches - The Big Job Hunt - 8pm CH4

Looks at what is at just what is available for all the newly-unemployed now coming on to the market.

I expect a full write-up from Pastures New ;)

    I'll be watching this. Thanks for letting us know.

  • Watch with anticipation!
  • Ooh thank god for C4+1!
  • Wasn't quite a fair representation. Digby Jones said in January that 50% of civil servants should be sacked, yet on Dispatches he was saying there aren't enough staff to process claims quickly enough!

  • It was very uncomfortable to watch, and makes me think I should stop job hunting right now and stick with the job I have, and just work on getting some qualifications and skills until everything is a bit more stable.

    Jeez, if I didn't feel depressed before the programme I certainly do now...

    dispatches always seems to have a biased slant.

    My thoughts exactly!

  • Yeah, the massive crowd applying for the binman job was a bit depressing.

    The 19 yr old from Nissan seemed like a decent chap, you'd hope he could get a job soon. Sad to see his enthusiasm go down during his search...

    The german scheme for keeping people in their jobs seemed interesting. Better to pay a bit to keep them employed rather than lost in the dole system / losing the skills of the workforce.

    I dont really see why the job centre staff cant know all relevant info/help for people coming though the door, with technology today etc. Its their main/only function, is it not?!
