I hope I never sign on again!!!!!

What an awful experience. Although the staff at the job center are very nice. I have had nothing but hastle from back off staff in regards to assessing my claim. They continue not to accept any documentation I have submitted - even though it was certified by the bank.

I am a trained teacher - but just to get away from signing on I have accepted an office job. I haven't even received a penny in in job seekers allowance or housing benefit and council tax. If they dare cast this up to me years from now - even though I didn't get a penny - I will cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

If you are a trained teacher, can you not sign up with an agency?

An office job ? How crappy. Poor you.

Why are they rejecting your paperwork ?

Alwaysonthego - problem is they are still pumping teachers out by the dozen in Scotland. Even though there is a glut the government still insists on training more and more. That means heavy competition for permanent jobs and lack of supply jobs being chased by say a few 100.

Zappster - I would rather get an office tan than face the non paying dole line again. They say they need a certificate or something from my bank. Which I have ordered but they continue to threat to close my claim down. At least when I call them again I can tell them to screw it.

I'm sure they will be gutted.

My uncle when retired from teaching, he now does private tutoring.

Wonder if this is useful to the OP.;)
Just a thought, but I am aware once a teacher, always a teacher, in a nice way of course.:D;)

Although you trained in Scotland, you don't have to work there. Have you applied for teaching jobs in England?
