    I've read a fair few of your posts as being aggressive, and earlier in the thread the op specifically asked if he had done something wrong as you seem to pick on him.

    Yes, I agree!!!

    As for the guy saying he "chills out" at weekends, maybe he feels stressed out from the pressure and just wants to escape for a few days from the circus off jumping through bloody hoops and the constant threat off the "sanction"!!

    Firstly that post has since been edited by the OP as I quoted what they has originally said in a reply and secondly the OP has called me a lair on a number of occasions when I am only stating what's happened to me.

    It is obvious the OP needs help as they have said they never knew jobs were advertised at the weekend and have never looked for work in 3 years at the weekend.

    I found them jobs to apply for so if that's having a go at them or bullying report me why don't you and good luck to them with their job search as I wont go out of my way to show them hobs advertised at the weekend when they say there are none.

    I don't see you having a go at other people, just me! :(

    Hi, sorry I have been busy and that retail job states need experience which I don't have, I do apply for retail but only the jobs where it states experience not essential :)

    The retail job doesn't require retail experience but "Experience of working within a service environment". That requirement is so vague that practically anybody could say that their experience was relevant to it.

    You need to interpret these things more broadly, making sure the requisite skills are apparent in your CV and/or application.

    Whilst I agree that APR007 could be seen as picking on you slightly in this thread. That statement is way out of order, you can't just go and accuse people of homophobia just because you do not like what they say!

    Thanks mate,

    I am currently looking for volunteer Jobs within my area like working in a charity shop (No idea why people are so embarrassed) to walk in them, I have never been in a charity shop but I got no choice if I want to learn some shop skills :)

    I am also going to ask my advisor on Tuesday at Jobcentre to see if any maths course he can put me on :D

    Yeah I agree, I only can apply for jobs if there is any Jobs, I just can't apply for jobs if I don't have the right skills as if Jobcentre finds out that I am just applying for any Job that I am not skilled then their will think I am just trying to applying for jobs so I won't get a sanction :(

    Hey, love charity shops! Brilliant for sourcing books and clothes! What are your hobbies/interests Gay_guy? Maybe look to that area in your volunteering. Get the experience in what you love, then you never know, you can maybe find a job in that area, or find a way to make your own money.

    If you have never been in a charity shop how did you previously do work experience in one?

    Think he meant his area to mean where he lives, not his area off work experience. Maybe wrong, no idea.

    His statement was quite clear, he said 'I have never been in a charity shop'.

    Think he changes his story to try to get the gullible on side ;)

    Yes, that bit is clear, but just where did he say he had work experience in one?
