could even answering a question like that be breaking the data protection act? afterall you havent gave the employer permission to give out any info to a third party.

yes we know that - its the same as the consent form when you get a job for them to get their ££ pay out but how does the employer know who they are? They don't and they are never going to call an employer re an application

so why hassle people for a job ref number?

Because they ask for it. They ask for it, I write it - easy. I have said this before to them that they will never check the jobs and that's when I was told they do not have net access at the JC but someone here said they did so that's a lie.

Anyway can you really see then look up 50 jobs? Would take them over an hour to do so and they have barely the time to sign me.

it wasnt the jobcentre that hassled me. it was wp adviser. while i dont like the idea of them snooping my issue was a number isnt always available and there isnt room on the sheet they give us to write one anyway.

WP sheet? I have no sheet from the WP at all, never have. Only the job booklet from the JC that I fill up easy in two weeks I have to buy paper to write the rest on!

i am the reverse. the wp provider give us job log sheets and i've never had one from the jobcentre. they dont even ask for evidence at the jobcentre since i've been on wp.

I have to email the WP 10 jobs (used to be 5) but I email them all the ones I want them to know about.

Like this

http://www.gaapweb.com/job/917500/kensington-and-chelsea/purchase-ledger-clerk Purchase Ledger Clerk ref BF13038 applied to Byron Finance

Etc

Sometimes I have to email the WP 6 times till they reply!!!

i think its whatever is on your jsa agreement that counts. if the wp says 10 but your jsa agreement says 5 and you do 6 i cant see them being successful if they tried to get you sanctioned. of course no-one wants to take that chance. the job log sheets we get have room for 10. they give us one sheet per fortnight so thats all they get from me per fortnight.
why do you need a reply from them? you've sent the email once and can prove it if they try to say otherwise.

I need a reply from them in case they say they never got it and I include all the replies and rejections on it that I get so I would hope they are reading them.

I send them all my jobs but after todays experience they can shove that email up their !!!!!!!

I had a review at 10.30 am and waited to 11.50am to see someone!! My advisor was there but not available' having said that I was meant to see him in November but not seen him yet as seen someone else everytime I have been there which is a joke.

I was told only people who are CIMA or ACCA etc will get a job in accounts.

Could not claim my travel at all this week so am £2.80 out of pocket

Have to go back next week for a job search and each week from then on as they are trying to tell me I have a duty to the job centre to attend each week while I am claiming JSA

I said I look for jobs all day every day at home and how is wasting 4.5 hours for a 1 hour job search effective

They are just !!!!!!!!ters who !!!! me off big time now.

I said the JC do not even know you are booking people in for these pointless sessions

My advisor came over and said they have seen all the jobs I apply for and they are happy with that but they are only doing what they have to do re the JC.

I am going to ask at the JC as to who I am responsible to and I can not be to both sets of people.

I have been booked in to a telephone technique session where they will teach me how to cold call!! LOL Yeah this will get a job I think not!
