    yep, so what have you done jobsearching today
    I have been in bed all day watching TV................Oh no hang on that sounds wrong

    Oh yeah I remember now, was up at 7am as had to sign on, got there at 9.14 for my 9.16 appt and waited till 9.45 to be seen as the adviser just sits and chats in French to a woman who speaks no English (every time I sign she does this and I have to wait sometimes even 45 mins and wonder what would happen to me if I was 45 mins late?). Filled in 3 application forms that took between 20 mins and 1 hr for each one, sent 20 spec letters/cv's to companies I have sourced on the net, applied for 4 jobs on Reed, 2 on CityJobs, 2 on Monster and now searching a few sites like Totaljobs, Jobsite, ACCACareers etc.

    I will then do this all over again in a hour or two by looking at these sites.

    You dont have to justify yourself to anyone !!
  • To those paying the wages....the taxpayer they should.
    Now go back to giving advice on how to stay on benefits by giving a rubbish interview on purpose.

    Oh but I think you have to, to narrow minded people who think we all lay in bed. Xmas day to me is no different to today, job searches for me all day - as there will be jobs going live on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
