Yes, but it isn't helping them is it, so of course they will discuss why it isn't.

maskerade

I make notes on universal jobmatch rather than in the book. I just do it daily

You are correct, it is stupid to have an opinion on anything.

Had the new work plan book last week, the way my advisor explained it to me....one page to be filled out per fortnight (I sign fortnightly!) with non job application info, I still record my jobsearch activity on the Universal Jobmatch website, which they will check but the booklet is to record things like, attended work club or set up a twitter account for job tweets or registered with job agencies, anything that isn't an actual job application!
But as stated above, it's not mandatory!

How many spaces on the one page?

What do they see as non job application info?

All specs, sourcning names for HR or hiring manager contacts, reading industry news etc?

They are only so many times you can register for a Twitter account - ie once!

Instead of being insulting you should be grateful that you've got a job. If at some point you do find yourself out of work then you will appreciate how insensitive your comments come across, and also understand why people need to discuss these things on the forum.
