    I have been on work placements from New Deal from Jobcentre, I worked in warehouse and British Heart foundation charity shop near me.

    Anything JC directed doesn't count.

    What happened in the warehouse and BHF?

    Right. You said placement, so it was directed by the JC or WP?

    What about the warehouse?

    And does this goes to them same other people who don't get interviews and any feedbacks? not just me who don't get feedbacks you know

    To start with, if you write your application based on the above, that's already one likely reason you why you haven't yet been successful.
    There is always going to be unemployment
    Indeed, but it doesn't mean that it has to be the same people always counted in the figures. There will always be unemployment because there will always be people who lose their jobs at any given time. Some people will get jobs quicker than others, however, to convince yourself it is just bad luck you are still not employed after many months or years and won't consider that it is much more likely due to personal misgivings is refusing to take responsibility for one's own situation.

    Regardless or the reasons, why not focus on what can be controlled and changed rather than what can't.

    Do you seriously think that there are no unemployed people who are unemployable ?

    Most unemployed people are eminently employable. For some reason, though, there is a hard-core who are unable or unwilling to find work, and who will not see that it is up to them to find it again.

    Do you have difficulty understanding the difference between none and most?

    Why would anyone lose their cool? The JC prefer an emailed copy of a CV really.
