    That's nothing at all to do with them telling me the great words of wisdom on how to get the employer to NOT say I am over qualified. Its laughable.

    Just my opinion of them advisers I have met or do you find they are helpful and supportive?

    Voluntary work wouldn't help and this came from a manager? I thought maybe downplaying it a little would be a possibility? But volunteering wouldn't help being seen as over experienced plus you have the experience so how can you have too much??
    Voluntary work & workfare are all a cop-out for clueless DWP, Jobcentres & government.

  • Just a small update since i last posted (nearly 2 month) i have had 3 advisor appointments i am now to start a course at my local college for 6 weeks 3 days a week 5 hrs a day called EDEXCEL Level 2 Certificate in Retail Knowledge will no doubt be a waste of time and resources but guess i have to do as i am asked, and i still have an advisor appointment one of the days i am not there.

    My advisor has also asked a few times about access to my UJM and asked why i don't allow access i mentioned that it gives them a better chance for a sanction that didn't seem to please her.

    I need a damn job and it's not for the want of trying :(!

    i know someone who asked their adviser if they could do more voluntary work and the adviser accused them of wanting to stay on benefits.

    That's a stupid attitude as jobcentre normally suggests volunteering
