    The JCP should moderate job ads instead of letting people just log onto their website and post just anything they wish.Last week betterware placed about 120 vacancies on there listing them more or less street by street instead of areas around derby.These are business opportunities not jobs as such and should be banned.Then we have the bogus charity clothing collectors who advertise on there every week not forgetting the scammer CV companies as well who try to get money off people up front by promising them work.

    As far as I understand, the only stipulation about the wording is that it's not racist, sexist, etc. Apart from that, as I indicated earlier, complaints about other mistakes in the wording should be made to the local office to follow-up.

    These "jobs" are not allowed as they do not meet the minimum wage. The kind of companies advertising on the website are infuriating as they clog up an already poor system. Why they haven't bought a proper search system and employed someone to monitor it is beyond me. Even a simple search by closing date is impossible.

    Last week in the midlands you had to search through 470 betterware,bogus charity clothing,envelope stuffing and other marketing ads before you got to any real jobs.
