Well, i have got my first job seekers allowance interview tomorrow and...

Tef

Just wondered if the OP was still about and if and when he got his first JSA payment..

I registered online on the 13th May had my telephone interview on the 15th (where you answer all the questions you answered online) and initial interview on the 19th. I was scheduled for 11am but wasn't seen till 11.30am and no, no apology. Again I went through all the details that I had given both online and by telephone and confirmed they were correct. I was then told to wait for an "advisor" at 12.20pm I had a 40 minute interview and finally left about 1.10pm...

I was supposed to sign on properly on the 31st May but obv its a holiday.. so will not sign on until 14th June.. Bearing that in mind, anyone any idea when I'll recieve any payment?

As for jobsearch seminars I have one on Tuesday, but I'm wondering how legitimate they really are; mines is scheduled for 5.15pm and takes around an hour.. Bad enough that you have attend these pointless episodes but surely meetings after 5pm couldn't be mandatory, can they?

I know you have to jump through the goverment hoops these days but it dosnt make it any less irritating..

Clean, tidy and relatively smart is good, it means they can see that you can dress appropriately if needs must.
