Hardly helpful when going to interviews, training courses, etc if you have to sign on each day is it?
The Jobcentre are not exactly easy to contact, and they are not flexible in changing appointment times.


This is am even bigger problem if it takes you an hour or more to get to the Jobcentre by public transport.


So how is it exactly helping people to find work?




I really do think some people have no more sense than they were born with.

Time for training courses is now long gone, it really is time to s*** or get off the pot

How many interviews/courses a week does one attend after years of unemployment?

Even I have no sympathy for people that commit benefit fraud.


But they are not the people that other posters have been talking about.

They don't care what unemployed they are talking about.

It seems to depend upon the adviser and perhaps their judgement of what help the individual claimant needs.
Think jobseekers can volunteer to go on courses, etc too

Conveniently ignoring that I also said interviews.

If you have a interview provide evidence that you attended, you should be OK

If the JobCentre were easy to contact, I would perhaps agree with you.


Sadly, on too many occasions they are not.


You are given a phone number at your local Jobcentre to ring for such situations.
Around nine times out of ten, it will ring and no one answers - with no facility to leave a message on an answerphone.


Then the jobseeker is worried sick that they may lose their benefits - so are hardly likely to perform well in the interview.

You're only concerned with yourself.

Not only with myself but with every hard working person who sees his/her money wasted on what you call "undeserving".

They should get off their butts and earn their own keep not liv of me with you blessing because according to you - I (and other working people) should share....what we work for.

Sorry but continuing a discussion with you is a total waste of my (valuable) time.

Stop doing it then.

I didn't call anyone "undeserving"
You were trying to differentiate between different groups of people on JSA due to having no qualifications, etc (ie: undeserving in your view) and those that were made redundant (or left) a "good" job. (ie: the "deserving")



Surely it is what you do whilst claiming JSA that matters, not what you were earning before?
