    They can try pushing you onto building jobs, labourer etc.
    yes they can make us apply for jobs on building sites. with the 2 issues i have already mentioned going against me there isnt much chance of me getting offered a job though.

    you may not want to work on a building site but you are expected to be flexible. whether you could get a job on a site is another matter. if you have no experience then probably not.
    i wish my body was flexible like it used to be, now at 55 its stiffend up.

    we live in a world of equal opportunities now. i am sure there will be some working on building sites. i have come across women working in traditionally male jobs in the past.
    edit.
    i am not female.

    well they can make you apply for these jobs but obviously you have little chance of getting one so i wouldnt worry.

    Yeah I have, you basically cant be arsed to stick to your JSA obligations so want a way out and see bankruptcy as it. You live with family and expect them to support you while you sit on your !!!! and do nothing, because you wont have any income at all, you dont want to keep claiming JSA because the JC expect you to keep to your JSA agrrement, how unreasonable of them!

    No doubt you wont want the hassle of working either, as they would be as unreasonable as the jobcentre and expect you to have to go to work every day.

    What get's me is providers send people for the cscs cards, yet I ask for a flt licence and i have experience of driving a flt yet i need to have a job on offer and references proving I have flt experience, before they will even give me the course i want to do.

    I have had enough of this carp on the WP the help I need is not there just because I really don't need their input on anything else.

    What are you on about? No yeah thats right I can't be bothered to work like I have since 1987 till 2010 when I was made redundant!! !!!! if I wanted to sit on my !!!! and do nothing I would have just not bothered to work when I left school or even not bothered to work when I was at school (start working on Saturdays when I was 13!!!)

    I DO STICK to all my JSA obligations actually and who the hell are you to say I do not? I do a lot more than I am even meant to do and so should EVERYONE on jsa! I apply for jobs all day EVERY !!!!ing day till 2am in the morning. You do not know me so do not tell me I do nothing at all. I probably do a hell of lot more than you do dear.

    I do not expect anyone to support me as I support my family too by getting into debt on my credit card when my mum has no money. I used to pay board till my money run out in April last year and I have a list of all I owe her and she will get that back. I had a bill of £600 on my card when I lost my job and I know owe the card over £2k as I have had to use it to buy food.

    Why don't you just !!!! off!

    Good day and good bye !
