Can I ask what you did before you were unemployed? What qualifications do you have?

Before I was unemployed, I was working in Express Gifts in Accrington

I have just come back from my work placement and what is this about someone reporting me?

Maybe I haven't read it right yet but did someone report me because the person thinks I don't want to work?

I just like to state, of course I want to work as I don't want to be on the dole for the rest of my life. I am 27 and want to earn some more money then the rubbish dole money which is not enough to live on.

I am applying for jobs every day on Universal Jobmatch and other job sites and I always bring in proof of Job applications to my signing on appointments, if I wasn't doing enough job seeking then I would have been sanctioned long time ago.

How am I a benefit fraud/cheating the system? I only said, why should I go on this placement again when I have done it in the past, I want different work history on my CV, not the same, is that so bad that I don't want the same thing on my CV. :mad:

I may have stuck up for you. But I am old now. I recall the posts about how you won't go for a job that doesn't allow you the time off to drink your power drink, and if it isn't the right hours in the right gym.


You haven't learned anything from work placements. I don't even care if they have anything to teach you. You don't want to go on one - get a job. Any job.Then work your way up. Like others have to.


In case you don't know... yes it is crap having to work for a living. Grow up. People have to.

So you have retail experience? How long was you employed there?

It's not easy just to go and get a job.

You're old, I could tell you to go get a job. Chances are you'd really struggle to get one no matter how hard you tried.

If GG isn't working than that means there's 1 more job for someone who needs it more than him.

Denning.

Lying about the reason you need a loan is textbook fraud. Its not open for debate.

It is all citizens duty to report any crime.

Since I have a job, which I have worked hard at, with a pension scheme - telling me to go get a job would be a redundant exercise. Struggle - not even! I could retire (last year) and get consultancy work on top. My choice not to.


If GG isn't working, refuses to wear work appropriate apparel, and complains incessantly about there being no opportunities whilst refusing EVERY opportunity going to improve his experience, skills or abilities - his fault, not anyone else's.

But you see, I am not lying. I am going to buy some clothing and footwear and also a few things for my flat and the rest, well I can spend the rest on a few pints since I can't go out a lot due to bills, I have not been on canal street since 2011 as I moved into my own flat in 2012.

I give up.


There are people with jobs who can't go out a lot due to bills.


Sometimes people get what the deserve - and you, my friend, walk into it. I do so hope you are a troll. If you aren't....

Yes, you don't have to go get a job because you already have one.

You've got it easy.

Well maybe people in work have to pay more rent and council tax then people are on JSA.

This forces them to not be able to go out drinking, also some people who work can afford to still go out, it depends on the person's outgoings like paying bills.

So stop making me out like I am a benefit scrounger, I am not 1 and I will be glad the day when I get a Job, when I finish my 4 week placement, I am going to try very hard to find any voluntary work but at the moment I can't as I am on that placement.
