  • then its work for your dole after that apparently. which depending on what form it takes may not turn out to be as bad as you may think.

    During unfortunately
    For the worst placement there's one with the DWP filing so you can be at the jobcentre for long periods of time

    perhaps the employers agree that a cv will do when recieving apps through the jobcentre.
    I really do not see the difference where the job is advertised and it we are talking 3rd party adverts they have no idea the jobs are on the UJM. If the UJM are telling people no company needs a cover letter when 'these' people go to the third party site they are just going to send a CV.

    do you not have mandatory appointments that you must attend at the job centre? are you just signing on like before and nothing else?

    I have had one appointment for the after the work programme.
    One to see Learn Direct and then one for my feedback on it.

    Nothing else at all other than signing.

    All of this since July the 19th!!

    Once a fortnight appointment with adviser then sign on with the muppets upstairs who love the term sanctions, they have no people skills, had a two week course (some got 3) on cvs,interview prep etc and budgeting cos" some people forget how to budget when out of work". Another pointless course that was, then there's a month -month forced labour period, in theory the muppetS claim they could get you in every day if they want

    well people should have more sense than to not include a letter in other circumstances.

    so far had 3 appointments with job centre advisers. in them they have changed my jsa agreement and threatened courses. they also mandated me to see a careers adviser. it is looking likely as i already mentioned that they will make me do maths and literacy.

    It is as I have said before all different for everyone and all different at every JC.

    No consistency at all, but did we expect that................
