    here the table format that the forms are in is seperated into what i did, date, what happened, what i will do next, when.
    if they tell me i am doing too much i will say i am just doing what is on the agreement and you are welcome to change it if you like.
    and all I am saying is mine is not like that

    MY JC gave me a different form a few months back which makes no sense at all as I have stated!

    You must have a different sheet to mine then as the table is only about jobs you have applied for with the headings

    DATE, JOB TITLE/ REF NUMBER, COMPANY/PERSON CONTACT, CONTACT DETIALS/PHONE #/EMAIL, WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS VACANCY eg WEBSITE NEWSPAPER, METHOD OF APPLICATION, DATE OF FOLLOW UP/OUTCOME

    No boxes at all to list job search activity

    I would have filled one up already I have searched 20 sites today alone and there is only space for 15 entries per sheet

    PS
    If I added everything I have done I would be putting

    8am searched Reed and there was nothing
    8.10am searched Cityjobs and found a job etc to applied then I fill in the line where they want the detail of the job I applied for
    8.15am searched Totaljobs - found nothing
    8.20am searched Caterer found a job
    8.21am applied to job on the Caterer


    etc etc

    IF they want that, it makes no sense at all and the form I have is wrong
    is the form you use from the jobcentre? the one titled looking for work with the number es4jp 01/04 in the corner.

    well you are lucky as it makes much more sense to just log what you have applied for. writing down things like i looked in the local paper on wednesday is stupid in my opinion.

    No it doesn't say that as I have said it says at the top (and I bet this is a made up form by someone at the JC who doesn't know the different between job search and application)

    Complete a job search log for all job search activity

    Job search activity again is not a job application as per the headings I have already out on here

    No it used to be but I have said (again) this is a new sheet given to us all at the job centre!

    dont you think its better to have a form where you just list what you have applied for rather than the one where you record everything.
    edit.
    having looked at the different sections on your form i would be worried if i didnt have a contact name and got sanctioned for not writing one.
