    able to enthuse customers

    this means you must not forget to threaten to sanction people if they are ever reluctant to take part in certain things.

    well we dont know for sure but they are likely to be. the amount of effort made will vary from one provider to another as well. it could be argued that the providers who do little are more clued up. why? because its a sign that they realise its an impossible task.
    It will aslo go on what amount of help you need. I see people there in track suits who I wouldn't employ so they need to smarten up and come dressed for interviews. Some people I have overheard do not even have a CV so they need help. If they see you do not need help you get none as they do not know what to do with you.

    Why do you keep going on about sanctions? How mant REAL people do you know who have been sanctioned?

    why do people need to go dressed for an interview just to have chat with their adviser?

    Enthusiasm for the job & to make people entusiastic does not mean threaten people withsanctions

    why care what they think? they arent interviewing you for a job. at mine you cant wear a hat or things like shorts but apart from that they dont mind people wearing their normal everyday clothes.

    What? Are you for real? They have to tell you if they think you are work ready and to be honest would you think that someone in a tracksuit is taking anything seriously? What is the advsier was wearing a track suit? Yeah really professional, I think not!

    If you think its ok to wear a tracksuit why at yours then are you not allowed to wear a hat or shorts? That is a contridiction surely!

    Normal every day clothes is a tracksuit? I dont own one nor does anyone in my family!

    it shouldnt but that is how it works. if you are telling people to do things they dont want to do how are you going to persuade them to be enthusiastic about it? so what it really means is make them willing and the way they do it is by reminding them if they dont do it they could(will) be sanctioned.
