So you think if you apply for ZERO advertised jobs for the next month that's ok?
Seriously?? Please tell me you are joking?0 -

I don't keep my separate they go on the same piece of paper. However I don't see how someone can write them down in a way that isn't reconcilable as what has been done. I either write, applied for admin assistant at xxxxxx via indeed ref xxxxx, or sent spec letter to xxxxx.0 -

trouble is there is no minimum, you have to apply for all jobs you can do, if your agreement says apply for 5 jobs a week but there are 20 jobs on direct gov, then you still have to apply for 20 or risk being sanctioned, the agreement is very misleading.0 -

What do you mean they never ask?
Its like pulling teeth here
The sheet says
DATE, JOB TITLE, COMPANY NAME, CONTACT DETAILS, WHERE DID YOU SEE THE JOB ADVERTISED, METHOD OF APPLICATION AND DATE WHEN YOU WILL FOLLOW UP
So let me think...............do you think this sheet if for spec letters or job applications?
They have no need to ask as they are JOB APPLICATIONS and they all say that and the spec sheet I have says this as headings
Date, Company (name and address), what they do ie industry, who I emailed and then did I hear back
Since this sheet says nothing about a job advert I am guessing any fool knows its spec lettersWe’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
