Well last time I signed on (18 months or so ago now) at some point in my claim I was put onto weekly signings for a short period then back to fortnightly. I'm assuming it still works the same way although I could be wrong, still a relevant newbie to all this benefits business!

I was put onto weekly signing after my 13 week review, and that was just before Christmas last year. I was on weekly signing for six weeks so yes, it is still the case.

Well, I guess nobody is phoning about my interview today then.

I have to say Drea, if they can't even organise a few interviews how shambolic must everything else they do be!? Could well be a lucky escape..........

No, and if they don't within the next hour then it's too late. Not holding my breath now.

they have stopped weekly signings now. I was supposed to be on them in March, I did 2 weekly signings then the advisor told me they had stopped as they don't make a difference.

Oh thank the sweet baby Jebus! I do have my 13 week review thingy at my next signing though, apparently they sent a letter but I haven't got it.

My advisor told me though that some girl had gone for an interview and the bloke turned round and said to her he wasn't interested in unemployed people! He was advertising through the Jobcentre so she's made a complaint.

See, that's the sort of attitudes we're up against!

Some employers must think we are stupid enough to buy this rubbish.

This morning saw a bank job advertised on-line which I applied for (Given a First Class Degree in Economics you might have thought I would have had a chance?) and within 30 minutes had a reply telling me that after 'careful consideration.....'

I mean come on.
