As a white, late twenties, straight, able-bodied person, theres not much more anyone can do, apart from going self employed, and thats an option i'm working on

so you are saying that non-white, older, LGBT and disabled people are getting preference over you in the job market?

Not strictly, but it does mean theres little to make my CV stand out from the other 400 or so.
Actually, I have a lot of friends who are retail store managers and with such tight staffing budgets, they actively look for under 18s as they can pay them less

I don't think most people would put their sexual preferences or ethnicity on a CV?!?
you also don't have to put your age on it either...

OU is study that is supposed to be able to be done around work hours and to fit in with your life, that means your studies should have to fit in around the job centre and work workshops, not the other way around.

i guess regardless of detail, the end result is : you cant claim IS. its jsa , and that depends on how many hours study you are registered for.
