Laugh out loud.

Its misspelling not miss spelling. Whats your excuse??????. What a laugh. Honestly are you being serious or is this a wind up?

As you would say "American spellings (sic) on this computer"

Is that the only thing your spell checker could find?

There are far more mistakes in your post than notanewuser pointed out which were just the spelling mistakes.

If you're going to pull up an OP on their level of English and make the sort of mistakes you made, it's hardly surprising other posters correct you.

Very predictable,in fact I thought you were going to say you were American like George Bush.
Is that really the best you can do?
You cant spell either. So that makes 3 of us. I obviously need to improve,but so do you. Now jog on dear.

But I don't go around telling other people they need to improve their English.

The other posters and I took exception to you telling someone else their English was poor when your own grasp of it is lacking.

Well, I'm sure we can all agree that improving our grasp of English is always a benefit to someone.
However, once you migrate to the Work Programme, you will see a sector where literacy is optional.

Sorry to hear about the sanction-ready FLAs at the Jobcentre. I can only recommend that you review your current Jobseeker's agreement and make sure you're doing better than the prescribed number of weekly applications.
I get barked at every signing day to register with universal jobmatch, and there's no way in hell that I'm going to.
I keep the flea-ridden wolf from the sanction/mandation door by applying for massive numbers of jobs every week (3 or 4x JSag requirement).

Oh, and by the way. There appears to be no legal power that enforces the Work Programme to have you sign any documents. If they ask you to sign anything, take it home and read it first. Chances are the only thing they will produce is a data protection act waiver so that they can abuse your data. Please do not sign it and refer to http://consent.me.uk for a proper account of your rights.

Do you not have better options in France?

The irony is that I have met english in France in the workplace and both their IT and French skills were veryyyyy poor....But they remain in France (certainly they have their private reason just like me...).

Sorry if it offends but your standard of writing is not even GCSE level.Also even people in I.T jobs have to write things down and send emails and messages etc.Your not exempt from the written word.
Your unemployed right,your going to lose every time to someone who is literate.Honestly do yourself a favor and improve your written skills.Then you might be in the running for a job.
A decent employer will not have you when they can choose from a 100 other people who are literate.Fact. Take the offers of free literacy courses, they are geared for people who struggle with basic literacy.There is nothing to be ashamed about.

Keep your english course 'advice' for yourself...I am a scientist not a literate....

I have seen something similar on other websites but frankly there are too much steps to follow.

No, you are long term unemployed and I'll say what I want.

You say the issue has been raised before by your employers.!!!! But you have done nothing to help yourself! That's really unbelievable and very sad.

You will stay on the dole because employers can get decent staff, it really is that simple . Good luck on the work programme, it looks like you will be there a long time.

Plus, I'm very sorry, but as a graduate of microbiology myself, I don't know any credible scientist who would ever disregard the importance of English.
When have you ever read a textbook or pubmed that was written in broken English?
