He certainly forgets to respond to my posts with valid arguments.

What a terrible story Emzycal, even the thought of this bl00dy job club is bringing me out in an anxious rash.

I am not really a morning person either, which does not help.

I'm a morning,noon and evening kind of person when it's the taxpayers money supporting me - just not when it means sitting in a room with drug dealers all day.

You,however,just seem to think that the rules don't apply to you on the principle that you're a rocket scientist? An engineer on the Hadron Collider? Researching the cure for breast cancer?

With the greatest of respect, sending me to work in a charity shop will do nothing more than stop my ongoing job seeking activities , they will be handicapping me in a very competitive market!

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.

You can't be spending many hours a week searching for work when there are hardly any jobs in your field AND you have already been unemployed for eighteen months. How many companies are there left that you haven't sent a speculative CV to? Have you considered how you might redeploy your transferable skills from your narrow field of expertise?

Don't let them send you to work in a charity shop: find yourself a suitable position. Do you have any understanding at all of the community and voluntary sector? Use your talents to help someone less able than yourself - coach others who are unemployed with their literacy, IT skills or CV.

I am heavily involved in my local Residents Association and the least successful/ capable/ educated member. On our steering group we have senior managers from local government and other key agencies, an accountant with his own successful practice, a lawyer, a project manager in the CVS, a Head of Department of a publishing house, etc.

My role is to represent the organisation at quarterly boardroom-style meetings attended by local businesses, senior police and council representatives, and I recently prepared an extended written and visual representation for an all day licensing panel hearing. Community and voluntary work is what you make it - sometimes a bunch of alternative types clearing derelict land, sometimes retired dears selling bric-a-brac and second hand clothes, sometimes very talented individuals working the system to their advantage.

Its very specialised , you would never be able to understand its complexity , not in a million years, not even if you spend every living moment you have trying.

Would suggest this guy is a troll and we wish him well with his charity work.

Separating socks and that.

Does that mean you're one of those severely obese people who sits on men for money?
That's quite specialised..
