Er and I would be OVER QUALIFIED for them dear.

If I got turned down for an accounts job as I had too much expereince I have a good chance getting one of these crap jobs that you haven't got either.

i wasnt saying it was a good idea. being over qualified wont stop the tutor saying it. i was saying this is the kind of thing you could be subjected to if you arent careful. of course even if you are careful you could still end up doing something like that like i did myself.

I told the JC that the WP ONLY want me to send them on email 5 jobs a week that I have applied for. I however are applying for at least 50 but they are not wanting that as I have been told it's far too much and we do not need all of them.

this is because they only need to know you are fulfilling your obligations. they dont need to see anything you do above that. i dont want them snooping in my business any more than necessary and that is why i only show them what i have to show and nothing more. well i show a little bit extra but i dont show everything.

I dont think the jobcentre workers are too fond of the wp anyway..Its just a government plot to show that its trying to do something..in my personal opinion wp should be cancelled

I know the advisors at my JC are no fans of the wp, they also see it as the waste of time and money as it is. The ask when I was last there and if I am finding it useful and when I roll my eyes before answering they say, "that good then" They have heard it all before and they know that it's useless but they have to ask.

During my appointment on friday my consultant (same one that tried to threaten me) asked how my job search was going I said I have been staring at the same jobs for 2 weeks and have applied for all the ones suitable for me. I asked the point of me coming in 3 times a week just to look at the same vacancies, turns out I got a reuslt as my next appointment was made for 3 weeks time. Dont know if my letter to the Chief Executive has anything to do with it as I havent received a response from that yet.
