Universal Jobmatch

Anyone know if I can do this on my account?
What if I don't fill in my activity and I write down all my Jobseeking onto Microsoft Office word and printing it out everytime when its near my Jobcentre appointment.
It seems pointless writing everything down on my activity history when I haven't given my advisor permission as its just a waste of my time.
But I will just apply for jobs by the apply button, will that be ok?0 -

Erm didn't you say you do the word doc as you are not going to waste time hand writing them all down yet now you are saying you do the word doc and copy this onto UJM?No its not, I write them down on Microsoft Office Word and then I Copy and paste them onto my Universal Jobmatch activity account.
I bet that takes time as you can't copy the whole thing at one time into the notes box and for what purpose as you say the JC cant see your UJM account.We’ve had to remove your signature.

Yes that's what I do, Just worried that if I don't fill in my activity history then 1 day my advisor will ask to look at my account by the internet (not they system) and what if he finds out that I haven't filled it in? Just worried that I will get sanctioned.

You have told us all here that you know you do not have to give permission for them to look at your UJM account.
Why would you have to fill anything in when you have it on a word doc file in your hand!???We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
But on the Work Programme you do have to trek into their offices each week and spend time using their computers to do exactly what you can do on your own computer every day at home.I wish I was on the work programme now or in work then I won't have to put up with all this rubbish. :mad:
I was on the WP for months, complete and utter b***y waste of time.0 -
I have been to my appointment at Jobcentre (Not for signing as that is next week) anyway he told me that if I would consider giving him access to my Universal Jobmatch as he also said it will be easy for me then printing Jobs applications out and writing down my Job searching ete.
However if I give him access could he known the following: What if I look for a Job position and it's not right for me and I press the back button on my browser without clicking on a reason, could he known that I have looked at that Job and not applied for it?
Anyone know this answer?
The answer is NO, ie no he couldn't see that.0 -
I've just been requested to give them access, otherwise I need to print off every job I look at and post it off.0
