    And they day they look them up you are screwed.

    Note - always do more, always write down more and be ten steps ahead.
    how do you look up a spec? i put the job id number for the ujm jobs. i more than meet the minimum just on ujm alone. as far as the rest go they have no idea whether they are spec or advertised.

    you only have to do 35 hours if they specify that on your agreement. mine says several hours per day. i take that as upto 3 or 4 hours.
    And they may say several is 7

    Orange and white one we look at and nothing then the grey one where it still didn't show so I asked her can you search by company and she found it and said 'oh yes its closed on the 17th' and I pointed out I applied on the 13th.

    Still if I had not wrote all the details down she would not have been able to find it.

    Really she just needs the job id to search it, but its a good job to write all the info down as you do.

    You don't look up a spec you are just being silly now!

    The sheet should say spec or job or you are the one pulling the wool over their eyes.

    Each to their own, each person has their own methods for where they live & their situation to deal with their Jobcentre.

    She typed it in 5 times and said it wasn't there so I started to think I had it down wrong till I saw her other screen and said 'can you search the company'?

    What on earth are you rambling on about?
    i stated i have never seen anything on an agreement that states anything about advertised vacancies and apparently according to you that is why i am unemployed. just because i havent seen something that isnt there.

    Maybe they just need training on UJM & IT systems.

    Some of the stories on here about advisors using the IT systems are hilarious.

    You have the jobseeker showing advisor how to do things.
