Fear of JSA being stopped.

I'm still yet to hear if I'm being sanctioned yet which is odd by now they'd mail me usually through post wouldn't they?
And I'm sorry Zoom but you just sound like a teenager with a bad attitude and you've got no right to comment on a subject you clearly know nothing about so you may give up insulting me, if you really think I'm going to sit outside somewhere doing nothing to get money you're mistaken, I would never do something like that I'd feel degraded and even if I did i would atleast do something instead of just sitting there with a sign.
Oh an seriously someone expects me to borrow the fair from JCP to go to a cash converter? You have any idea how embarrassing and stupid that is, and be realistic instead of trying to insult me, the JCP would never give someone money for that even if I had something to sell and told them it was to get my bus Fair for the interview they still wouldn't do it, if they don't give you bus fairs without proof of receipt that you already paid for a bus fair what makes you think they'd give me a fair for going to Cash Converters? Actually think before you speak.
People can continue to say i am just another lazy Job Seeker or continue insulting my family, but since I last posted I've been to 4 job interviews within my local area in my desired career choice right now, so yeah continue to say what you like about me but atleast I'm putting the effort in to do something to change my situation, the negative people in here can't even be bothered to change their attitude to be more positive towards others.
I'm keeping this open obviously for when I see my adviser next week so I can let people know how it goes and what happens incase I'm in need of more help.
By the way incase anyone is wondering I know someone who went on this Job got taken on and was laid off after a week because of the high volume of immigrants they had coming in to work for them, the guy is a hard worker to the core and he's been training himself for the forces, it's to be expected heard too much about these Temp Warehouse positions being bad things and it's just another example of why you shouldn't always take everything you can whether you can get to it or not so maybe me not having the £5 was a blessing in the end.
Rainlight. Dont mean to have a go again but its a pity that people dont find claiming benefits is degrading otherwise they might do other things to get off them asap.....
Thats the problem in this country - its fine to take benefits.0 -

4 interviews in how long?
Again, stop making excuses as to why you cant take jobs. Blaming immigrants now!
Im sorry but you're just coming across the same as everyone else. No job is good enough for you because its easier to stay on benefits.
Wake up call for you. Unless you've got qualifications, you dont get to pick and choose what sort of job you get. Thats reserved for people who listened in schoo/went to college. If you dont like - thats life - do something about it.
I felt sorry for you for a bit but saying its lucky you didnt get a job just proves you're no different to anyone else.0 -
Can't help but think that your inability to find the required £5 had something to do with your unwillingness to do that job and that you would have been much more creative had it been your dream job.
In any case, I hope you get a job from the interviews you went to and the entire matter will become irrelevant.
Shes waiting for the 'at home' interview for the brain surgeon £100K that was advertised in the jobcentre.0 -
This is discrimination and your friend should seek advice about making a claim for illegal dismissal. Be careful about making such claims yourself though as you have mentioned the name of the employer in this thread and they could be annoyed,quite rightly, if the dismissal was for another reason or just malicious and untrue gossip.
If friend is anything like OP its probably not true though.0 -
It's those nasty immigrants again, the nerve of them actually turning up for job interviews !0
-
Which is why employers in Britain give the jobs to the immigrants...
Because they're the ones who actually want to work and don't feel that a job is 'below them' and dont want to stay on benefits like the OP.0 -

I know not all warehouse jobs are bad, I taken one that was only for 4 weeks Christmas period last year, not the most exciting thing but it was alright experience wise, I went on to do Carers after that.
4 interviews in the whole day, had another one today, say all you want Paul your comments are nothing but slanderous and abusive and highly judgemental and I will report you if you repeatedly carry on like that, I do thank the people who originally were harsh and abusive have made generally more neutral comments.
I don't have a problem with immigrants, they came to this the country for a reason and we can't let them sit around doing nothing they have equal right to work it can't be helped that some places are awkward sometimes.
I want off benefits asap I don't find it degrading, I just find the JCP too much unhelpful and I'd prefer to work and earn my way in life.
I see my adviser tomorrow.0 -

Despite your negative comments about immigrants, are you actually a native English speaker?0 -
You guys should give the OP a break. I went from being a printer on £15ph to £67.50pw JSA when the company went bust and boy was it a shock to my lifestyle. The shame and embarrassment of walking into that hell hole for a meagre handout was hell. It's so easy to judge those living on 'hand-outs' but if you've not tried feeding, clothing and paying your energy bills on this don't be so quick to judge others!
I have little doubt that the OP is trying his/her best in this awful situation and came here in good faith to ask a reasonable question and is now being ostracised as a typical dole scrounging dosser. Yes, there are some I know but the OP genuinely seems to want to get off the hell ride that is signing on for peanuts and should be cut some slack!0
