    My jobcentre advisor even refused to give me a job log when I asked for a new one and told me everything has to be done through my WP provider.
    so you write it on paper?

    No, I email my WP adviser once a week with all my job search activities.

    That would be a tad difficult seeing as they refuse to give me any job logs. As far as they're concerned, all my job search activities are now the responsibility of my WP provider. They've even changed the way I sign on now so that I just walk up to the desk, sign the form, they update their computer, and then I turn around and walk out again. Takes about a minute.

    Dont be ridiculous, its your responsibilty to write them down so get some paper. I went to the £1 shop and bought 5 little books to write mine in.

    I don't need paper, all my job logs are on my computer which I keep updated and forward onto my WP adviser once a week. In the event that the Jobcentre ever wanted to look at them I could just burn them all onto a DVD and let them sort through it all themselves. It wouldn't be the first time they've accepted evidence from me in this way.

    My work programme provider has so many people attending Ive been informed they may be doing group appointments where you do a job search as a group.
