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.

Surely its lifting spririts for people who probably have lost the will to live at this point so to make them more enthusiastic about the whole process.
So like I keep saying how many of these people do YOU know who have been sanctioned? You seem obsessed by it!

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!

i dont wear tracksuits either but some people do wear them regularly. there is no requirement to impress an adviser by the way you dress. with mine they judge whether someone is job ready based on how clued up the person is, whether they have a decent cv etc.

So if you turned up and they said 'hey we have an interview for you at so and so company in a hour' - off you pop in your chav's tracksuit! :rotfl:

i know of only a few people who have actually been sanctioned. however it has been said to me quite regularly this is mandatory so make sure you do it or you could be sanctioned. the risk of sanction for not doing something is very real.

I have just read the information sheet that i got from my provider last week and I notice that they can offer me a gym membership, so when i go in again tomorrow i may raise the subject with them as i do feel i need to lose a few stone to actually be fit enough to work. But like everything i think this maybe like peeing in the wind, as already has been advised that if i want to go on a FLT course i need to prove that i have experience of using them.

what provider you with? I got my start interview in less then 20 days... I wonder if they would subsidize my David Lloyd's membership!
