Do you know someone who has a printer? Will your advisor at the job centre print some off for you?

You need to start thinking for yourself, coming up with your own solutions instead of being negative. Use your initiative.

Ok, whatever.

I have to be honest with you. If you were an employer and you had to choose between two candidates, would you choose the one with good problem solving skills/initiative or the one who needs his/her hand holding the whole time?

On 14.11.2013 I posted that I have a post Work Programme appointment on 26.11.2013 as I finish my 2 year next month.

However on my appointment on 26.11.2013 and if my personal advisor tells me I need to do 35 hours Jobsearch, what does this Include? does all these add up to 35 hours a week? as I am doing these already:

1) I look on Universal Jobmatch, Indeed, Monster, Fish4jobs and total Jobs and I apply for Jobs mostly everyday and I also look on these websites 5 days a week.

Only these sites? Because if this is the list this is nearly enough sites that you are using.

2) I keep in contact with Job agencies 3 days a week whom I am registered with.

Send emails and CV's to every agency that you can think of that deals with the type/s of work you are looking for. Register your CV on their sites too.

3) Look in newspapers.

What else do you think I need to do if these don't add up to 35 hours? I am just asking this if my advisor ask me to do 35 hours

I have told you what I do and you have taken no notice and are here asking the same Q's again.
Any help would be great, cheers !

OP you really need to start thinking for yourself as said above by starrystarry

I read posts like the ones that you were referring to with real despair. Full of "I can't", "I haven't got", "I'm not able". It's a terrible, terrible attitude, and of course someone like that is going to find it hard to get or keep work.

His advisors must be pulling their hair out, trying to get him to buck up his ideas.

Think you need to look into voluntary work (think bigger picture)

More experience, skills gained and eventually employment, you will obv have time on your hands...
