Advice on what to say to JSA

Cashtyke

Due to redundancy, Im due to claim JSA this week and apparantly now we all have to ring up to speak to someone. I dont trust the Jobcentre as in the past i have been shoved into jobs i really hate and have generally found them unhelpful. The best jobs i have found are the ones i have found myself.
I just wondered exactly what they ask on the phone. Should i have any details ready to give to them and is there anything i shouldnt say to avoid the problems i have had before?

I went through the process a couple of weeks ago. I did my claim online, then somebody rang me a few days later to get a few more details. They then sent me the form which I had to take to the local job centre. At the job centre they went through the form with me. I then had to see an advisor who sat with me and looked up jobs on the net. It's up to you to apply for them.
