    She does do that Sam, she comes here to print off CV's, and takes them around, as well as online applications. She gets very few replies, not even a "sorry on this occasion........." Which is all wrong IMO. I don't know what "actions" really mean TBH, apart from the above, and she does plenty of those!!

    This is exactly what I told her to do!! Nuclear physicist? chemical engineer? artic driver? No problem!! :D This is how daft it's gone!! Now the cynical half of me is saying that as she has recently (2 weeks ago!) turned 25, and her JSA has gone up from £56 to £71, they are trying to save a few quid, as she is doing nothing less than she did before her birthday!!

    Really nothing to do with age at all. The steps are all to do with best prosects, handing a C.V. in at ASDA is not best prospects as they always recruit on line, handing a C.V in a local corner store would be more appropraite. People need to more away form minimum numbers and more towards the time and effort put into jobsearch. I dont make the rules, I dont always agree with them but they have to be abided by i'm afraid.
