    ok thank you. im not looking for a short term job though as i cant get last minute childcare....
    im not good at not telling the truth :(

    You have not got a job yet,

    You have a promise of a job, which can be broke.

    Don't sign off.

    I don't think they'll be as harsh as people here are making out.

    Don't phone the number to inform them you've got a job till the day you start or later. Carry on applying for jobs just as you were before but tell them you've found work if they contact you.

    don't sign off until you start - you can call, as long as you DO tell them...

    I signed off when I was offered a job all excited - and then the Friday before I was due to start the offer was revoked (it had been a secondment cover but the guy had gone to be a yellow peril, and decided it wasn't for him). Having to sign back on was a real ball ache to say the least...

    i start in 3 weeks. i miss Novembers payroll but they are happy to do a one off transfer for me. the offer wont be revoked as its back where i used to work but with a different service provider. i was in the right place at the right time. know the work, the people etc and they came to me rather than the other way around.

    i am starting on a monday so am i better off going into job centre on the friday before or call them on the day i start? my sign on day is next monday and then again the day i start the job....

    thanks for everyones replies x
