    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 !

    I never said an office will interview you on Boxing day! That's a stupid thing to say
    then why apply on xmas day? why not have it off and apply on boxing day. of course i am humouring the idea that you have a good chance of hearing from someone between boxing day and new year.
    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.

    You're just clueless civil servant drones following clueless Tory policies.

    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.

    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.
    I make u sick - Easy fella, calm down matey!!

    BTW I don't work in a JC as mentioned previously...

    Why apply on Xmas day?

    Cause two days later they will be in the office and see I have applied

    do it by 9am on the day after boxing day and they will still see it at the same time as they would if you applied 2 days earlier. that is assuming they are going to work on recruiting for a job then. if you like spending xmas day doing jobsearching then thats fine its a free country. you wont convince me its essential though and you wont convince me it is right for the jobcentre to expect people to give up their usual xmas day activities to spend the day jobsearching. even back to work schemes usually shut down for the week.

    Why would a company advertise a job that goes live over Xmas and not really re recruiting. Name me one big firm in London that closes their office at this time? I have never heard of it!

    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.
