    Of course I have thought about a lot of things. :D

    The spiel they give is they can show you jobs on the UJM. So what, its not a job interview or an job offer. They need to get people interviews and they cant make the employer interview you.

    They did yo me this morning, they set me up with an interview, although this is rare.

    Yes that is a company that has some to the JC direct and said something like 'we need 10 people, send me some to interview'.

    If you apply for a job advertised anywhere the JC can not make the employer interview you. Two different things.

    I agree was just saying. I expect that the company gets money from the gvt if they interview people from the jc.

    Are you sure i heard there was an incentive, if you took people off the signing count.

    how would you feel btw if you were forced to an interview for a food factory and by the way i checked its a production line full time.

    If there was then why do people turn people down for being out of work?

    Only if you are under the age of 24 I think not for all ages.

    Forced? Id have to attend the interview.

    Why did the factory go to the centre then for people to interview. I guess it might be cheaper than advertising.

    Why would they then go to the Job Centre? I can tell you its not for £££££

    Maybe lets think...............to get people who are available now? No fees etc easy for someone else to do the work for you.

    No, he should have reported it to the ICO as a serious breach of the Data Protection Act 1996!
    yes if they want to go that far. my priority would be getting a copy of my own jsa agreement instead of having someone elses.

    I am not been fooled, my advisor is cool. I knew him like I said a few years ago.

    Also he didn't have time to make me a new Jobseeker agreement as he was rushing as he had me waiting for about 15 mins as he had another claimant with him, he is doing the new agreement next week. :)
    i hope he continues to be fair with you.
