No, not really into that type of work where I have to stand all time in the work shift, I want a admin Job
How long have you been on Job seekers ?
Maybe its time you widened your search for jobs other than Admin.
Ok so you would be stood up but you wouldn't be fixed to the same position though, you would be able to move around.0 -
"boohoo is hard work" - well "boo hoo", work is often hard! Actually standing up is often better for you than sitting still at a desk to the extent that some people have started getting "standing desks" fitted. One of my bosses wants one!Adventure before Dementia!0

Maybe there are shoes that are comfortable .... I never found them. I'm part flat-footed though, no idea if that makes a difference.
I used to work from 6am till midnight on my feet - in 4 inch (minimum) heels. The OP doesn't want a job if any kind.Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0 -
Sitting down all day gives you piles (which may be a bit unfortunate if OPs username is anything to go by).0

What's funny? some people don't like work where it involves standing up all time.
Everyone is different.
then wait for a different kind of work on your own dime. whilst in receipt of benefits you should take whatever opportunity comes your way. If you had a valid medical condition I might have some sympathy but as it it you sound like a scrounger.I don't respond to stupid so that's why I am ignoring you.

You don't know anything about me, of course I want a Job, that is why I am claiming Job Seekers, the clue is in the title.0 -
I have noticed on here that some users doesn't like people on benefits.
Even a user on Consumer Action Group stated the same. who the hell you lot think you are??0 -
Keep your eyes out for a nice, cushty admin job, then.
Not sure if you actually need to go on an 'admin course' to get an admin job, though?
Don't think so0 -

Take whatever work is given, and when you are earning your own wages then you can start picking and choosing and looking for something you actually 'want' to do, but for now, you simply don't have the right to that luxury and refusing this course just makes you look like a lazy benefits scrounger.0
