I'm not sure how to describe his long slicked back oily hair yet!
He has suggested that I train for an HGV licence to open the lorry driving opportunities. It'll certainly open something. This is the woman who has difficulty parking or reversing a Honda Jazz!

I'm trying to train him to contact me straight away if anything suitable comes to light. However, his idea of suitable and mine seem to differ a little....
I don't have to see the other signing in officials now. I'm booked to see him for all the future visits. I'm hoping for the astronaut job...

Yes he has! I think he is a nice enough sort of guy, a bit intense and not really very clued up. My problem is trying to imagine him with a personality and to describe the kind of look he's going for and missed...

If 'they' are going to pay go for it, its a skill, if they expect you to pay I'd say give it a miss & tell them to have their head seen to(its cira £1000!) not sure where they think the jobs are though, my mate did her hgv thinking she could find a job & there was nothing about what so ever

yay to the patchwork income but boo to the hgv driving suggestion, they really do drag the bottom of the ideas barrel don't they. You're blog should be about your experience with the job centre it's so laughable.0
