we are talking about why providers are having no success.Why are you talking always about free placements? I am talking about companies who are advertising PAYING jobs! The providers work like agencies. They have people called BDC offiers who contact companies who may be advertising REAL jobs with salaries and see what they have on offer.0 -

it is not unheard of for them to sanction people for not turning up when illness or a job interview was the reason. they are not supposed to and maybe most wouldnt but i wouldnt take the risk myself. i would go in ill if i was ill and i would rearrange a job interview.donnajunkie wrote: »Yeah LOL they will sanction you if you are at a real interview. Sorry but thats stupid!!!! And no if you are ill you can call them as I did for my first interview - it was rescheduled for a few days later (which then never happened as I was transfered)0 -

What if the employer said we are only 3 people on Tuesday morning and that was the day you went to the WP, you'd say sorry I cant make it! Ooops0 -

I have job search on Wed, I have just started taking some medication which has nasty stomach side effects when you first start taking it and I have been warned not to go too far away from a loo for the first week. I may be one of he lucky ones that adjust to it quickly and I might be fine by wed but if I'm not it will be physically impossible for me to get to the WP. If they tried to sanction me I will pull the disability card on them and see how they like that!0 -

1. you cant be sure no efforts are ever made to get employers interested.Because:
1. they are doing nothing to help people
2. they have too many people to help
3. they are employing morons
4. there is descrimination against the unemployed
etc etc etc
2. thats probably always been the case.
3. that has certainly always been the case. to be fair its an impossible task.
4. yes.
you would find that if it was like new deal they would have no problem getting interest from employers but because its about getting employers to offer actual jobs they dont get much joy. so its like i said it shows us what the real motives are of most employers.0 -

Reply to number 1 is yes I can as they have made NO effort in regards to contacting employers. They thought I was looking for a job behind a bar or in a restaurant.
I have even asked them and they say they don't know what to do with me and just carry on what I am doing hence meaning they are doing nothing.0
