    it seems to be about making your jsa agreement stricter, seeing an adviser and being sent on daft courses.

    We know that's not for all however.

  • Imagine if everybody attended daily :P, we would be in a mile long que :)

    Pretty much plus they are obsessed with every detail of your jobsearch so it's got to be in more detail and they have wet dreams about sanctioning folk

    The course for me was booked in the first appointment but it was a month and a half afterwards, total waste for 2 weeks 9-5

    2 or more maybe
    My local jobcentre is terrible for signing people on time and they have notices warning Jobseeker's to be on time but nothing about the pathetic upstairs adviser

  • Friend had his post WP meeting today. Hes been put on a 1 hour group session tomorrow to 'refresh how to apply for jobs'.

    He's been told his job center won't be doing the signing everyday as it's too much work for them, and he'll most probably just have to sign on weekly instead of 2 weekly.

    Another friend has been made to do 30 hours charity shop work for 8 weeks and signing as normal.
