Clearly ludicrous.
This is the impossible clueless Tory nonsense JC/DWP staff sign-up to & have to implement.
You repeating parrot fashion this stuff only shows how stupid you are.
And Universal Credit is in chaos !
Yeh cos I made that up didn't I, its clearly documented if u look........ur the stupid one if you think I agree with it!!!0 -
I never said an office will interview you on Boxing day! That's a stupid thing to say
personally i notice the amount of new jobs appearing online slows down upto a week before xmas and it doesnt pick up until after new year.0 -

It doesn't mean it will work in the real world.
Bashing people over the head, introducing ever more punitive crazy over the top regimes does not mean it will work and help jobseekers get jobs.
Universal Credit is in chaos, the Work Programme has been abysmal failure.0 -
ray shut up for god sake. tell your DWP work mates to hurry up with their info on my did not attend MWA due to FOI info... You make me sick so does your colleagues.
Government needs to see WP is a drain on resources and cut the cash flow pipe to them.
BTW I don't work in a JC as mentioned previously...0 -
You're just clueless civil servant drones following clueless Tory policies.

I DO NOT WORK FOR THE JC/DWP or WP PROVIDER0 -
You did and your wife does/did.

What if a recruiter is only going to read the 1st 30 CV?
What if I didn't apply and then 32 people applied on Xmas Day!?
What Xmas day activities can anyone have?
The WP was open between Xmas and new year here & the JC was too.
I do not have to convince anyone to job search on any day of the week but you will if you are really looking.We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
