Does jobcentre expect peeps to jobsearch on xmas day?

Toomuchdebt

Oh for goodness sake even if they did expect you to jobsearch on Xmas day, so what? It would take all of 10 minutes to log on to a few jobsites to see if anything new was on there. I was looking on a job site on Christmas Eve when I found out I had got the job I had an interview for and if I hadn't I would have taken a quick look Xmas Day too.

Surely it's a time management situation.
Same number of job seeking "actions" the JC use to quantify but spread differently over the week.
eg instead of an hour a day over 7 days -an hour and twelve minutes over 5 days .

Really? in that case I will ring my boss on Monday and tell her she is not being logical in expecting me to work the 5 days that I am being paid to work and that I only want to work for 4 of them, ta for the heads up

Again, showing your complete lack of any logic.

Your grammar is awful.

Personal abuse just shows you have lost the argument.


Sorry about any punctuation and grammar but left school at 15 to start work and have been doing so for 44 years didn't have time for a fancy education, too busy earning money and paying tax.

It wasn't personal abuse, it was a statement of fact.

You said in an earlier post you were going to bed as you had work today. Doesn't look like you're getting much work done.

Does your boss know she's paying you for doing nothing?

Another gullible mug who has fallen for the line that jobless / poor / disabled / sick people are to blame for all the countries ills.

Have you checked your MPs attendance at the Commons that you pay them for? Would you take them to task for that? Did they attend the Commons on Christmas Day?

Just another benefit basher trying to put the boot in anyway they can find. Probably on benefits themselves-strange how it seems to work like that.

theoretica

I want to do the experiment now of advertising a job only on Christmas day and seeing who applies.

I would hope that the expectations are tempered according to the person doing the job search. If a job seeker has a proactive and extensive job search would the adviser really question which days it was done on? Or that when fewer jobs are available the search becomes faster. On the other hand I would expect someone to be treated differently who appears to be seeking out the exact minimum required so as to barely meet it, and examined on meeting that minimum every week, or day, according to how it was set out.

System

Whilst i know JSA is supposed to cover 7 days of jobseeking, i have a job but i was still off on christmas day (the one day a year we are actually closed...for now..it won't be long before people insist on being able to shop then too :rotfl: ) so i can understand maybe taking the day off. As long as the remaining days they put all the effort in, whats one day at Christmas (I'm starting to sound like Kermit the Frog in A Muppet Christmas Carol aren't i? )
