    For jsa they have to consider alternatives for jobs after 3 months and agreed in their jsag.

    If the alternatives are not in the jsag, then it really cant be enforced until it is recorded.

    As for the expected wage, its agreed for 3 months, and can be extended a further 3 months at whatever wage they wish provided it is reasonable for the type of work, then it can be literally nmw.

    "Its not for me" its pretty straight forward. I could not do that sort of work, it would drive me nuts, I need to be stimulated.

    Bozo, I am qualified in a very specialist field, there are hardly any jobs about, let alone in my field of expertise.

    I dont want to do min wage work, thats not for me, and I am probably more literate than those who profess to train people to write a CV.

    All I want to do is be left in peace to seek work and claim the dole.

    I don't wish to become part of some bums on seats Nu Labour initiative, that serves no purpose other than levering people into jobs that do not exist under the premise that they do, in order to massage the unemployment figures.

    If you want to wait to get a job in a "very specialist" field, than thats fine, but you need to sign off to do it.

    You are claiming JSA which means if you do not follow the qualifiying rules (which means "new deal" and taking any reasonable job you can do) you will be sanctioned.

    You will not be left in peace to simply carry on and claim dole.

    I always like to read back at a persons post history when they have a such a bad vibe about not working and just wanting to claim dole.

    I note you know your way around bookies :

    And you're finding being unemployed for over eighteen months stimulating, are you?

    Thank you somebozo for backing up my b***s**t detector.

    This poster sums up everything wrong with JSA, he plays the system because he dosnt think he should work like the rest of us.

    There are people in this country today who would take any job what so ever just to keep afloat, when the jobs climate improves they can then seek alternative work in there chosen field.

    I have a wide range of hobby's that I find both entertaining and stimulating.

    I used to collect records, had about 4000, they all had to be catalogued and sold on ebay for a start. That was a full time job in itself.

    Off topic and not defending ding dong, I just give plain and simple advice / dont judge.

    There are many types of client that enter a jc, stereo types i suppose, even though you are not meant to. Everyone has an opinion and entitled to have one, but, I do notice a kind of " we are here to judge" element to posts, when really this forum is about helping / advising, even if people deserve it or not...

    Many clients who enter jc, have issues / barriers / attitudes, and the jc doesnt help much at all, even though it does try, it has a lot of limitations and can put people well off, although there are some who do find it useful.

    Unless you have actually worked in a jc, and met the different types of client, its very difficult to judge such people without fully understanding their circumstances.

    What I am trying to say is dont be to judgemental and stay focussed on advising :)
