    donnajunkie can you tell us all the headings for the sheets or booklets you fill in?
    i think you know as you have mentioned the form in a post today. its the es4jp 01/04. i have used other types in the recent past and they even sometimes hand me a different type but i choose to stick with this type now.

    no you are expected to look 35 hours a week and I believe on JSA you get paid for xmas day so just another day for me
    That's up to you, but it's a bit extreme & silly.

    Nobody in the Jobcentre cares, there's no point in going over the top.

    I'm sure nobody in JC has ever looked much at your job search logs or ever checked anything that much.

    How on earth you came to that conclusion from what I said, I'll never know.

    Have you ever seen a jsag that says just do spec applications????
    no, and i've never seen one that specifies you must include some advertised apps either.

    so if it was a job on another site and they wanted to see the advert you do not have enough info on the sheet for them to look it up, do you?
    they dont look any up. they have a quick look at what you have done. thats it.

    No ne cares? Really I think at mine they do. They do look at them and try to take them off me to keep until I ask for copies and its too much bother to get up and copy 8 sides so they give them back to me. I have every single booklet/sheet that I have filled in.

    My advisor checked a UJM on Tuesday this week and I posted about it that it was EXPIRED on the UJM site and she couldn't find it so I found a hitch in the site (another one) that she never knew about. Good job I had the job id (that was not showing up as advert taken down) but also had the date, the company name and email address and she found the job that way under the adverts for the particular company.

    So to say they don't check is a bit silly
