I have not even been told I need to get an account.

I'm starting to think that there is no real plan and each individual job centre has been left to its own devices on how it deals with problematic job seekers.

that means you have to key in ALL other jobs you apply for on other sites and this info only lasts 90 days so after that you have nothing to look back on and hey what if they have a system error or database crash and all jobs applied for get lost? Who is to blame then when you have no written records?

she said it will be much better as all your jobseeking will be in one place like a diary.

the only issue i have with them having access is unscrupulous interference. it would save filling in 2 diary sheets per fortnight.

I email myself all the jobs I apply for anyway but Id love to see how much this note box holds on the UJM and can you put 50 jobs in the box at one time or not. I bet its a line at a time and will take sodding forever
