What are the common ASE referrals ?

Customer has done nothing in 2 weeks
Customer hasn't applied for any jobs
Customer has only done 1/2 days jobsearch
Customer has only made spec applications

Those are my most common ones

Its the customers responsibility to provide info of what they have been doing.
People need to be putting down the valid info.. if they had of in the beginning, the ase referral would never need to have been raised

It's interesting how some people forget their responsibilities and overlook the fact that this makes their claims of unfair practice when they've not written everything down a moot point.

Over a 2 week period none of those sound like actively seeking, far from it.

Interesting neither of you consider spec applications as actively seeking.

If that is all that's been done it's not exactly being active in my opinion.

You start writing down everything you do for next 2 weeks, we'll check it then. Then you need to back it up & have proof of what you have done.

You see how long it takes.

All of this has been lost on DWP & JC staff, as it takes up lot of time & effort.

Spec letters/CV's have to be sent as well as applying for jobs and non stop job searching etc

Spec letters are on my JSA and I have kept an up to date list with who I have contacted and the responses from them.

Even more interesting that you consider that's what was said.

It's just part of my JSAg once was to send 10 speculative applications per week, and that is/can be incredibly time consuming.

Gather names and contacts over the week and send them all in one day say on a Sunday. They don't really take that long if you are targeting the same job type and industry in batches.
