All this pressure from the jobcentre and WP is setting my anxiety off now, to the point where I feel almost feel too anxious to work. The constant dread of signing on and wondering if I'll get paid that week or not. The constant dread of an 18 year old girl telling me I should be doing applying for more when I find it hard already.

Does anybody have any advice or pointers?

the key is to look at your jsa agreement and ensure you are fulfilling that and showing evidence of that whether on the site or one of their grey forms. if you are doing that you dont really have to show any evidence of what you do above those requirements.

Has anyone ever heard anything from a job that they use the apply button on? I can see it has been received and even looked at.

I have applied for one or two like this but the APPLY button directed me to their site so never needed to have an account there

something new has arisen related to ujm that i dont think has been mentioned. well at the moment i believe they can force you to register but cant force you to allow access. however twice now i have been pressured to make my cv public rather than private. can they force us to make our cv's public? i am worried about identity theft.

Its optional as it asks you to tick a box

If it wasn't it would say something like 'by joining you give the DWP the right to access your account' and it don't

Yes they can make you make your cv public.
What i do is make one without my adrress and just puy my mobile on.
Then when i apply for jobs i use my other cv with all my details on.

Any who has registered on ujm as an employer.

Thats why you should never put your details on it.
