    Mtwiscool, sometimes the help and support to get into a job provided by JCP is not suitable for all individuals.

    That is why some posters have asked if you have a support worker at your care home who may be able to put you into contact with organisations in your area that seek to aid individuals in similar situations to you to get into paid employment.

    They didn't. Obviously they want you to apply for any jobs you can do, but when it's a large amount they don't expect you to apply for hundreds/thousands in the first week. They expect you to take your time, do applications properly and get through as many as you can.

    Playing the percentages game - the more jobs you apply for, the more likely you are to get lucky....

    That goes out the window when you're applying for 100 jobs a day ;)

    OP, do you have Autism? That may explain why you took the advisor a little too literally. Is there not someone you can talk to about your future plans?

    That will vary between claimants and depending on the type of work being applied for. It will take far less time to apply for an unskilled role than a professional one. Whatever the role, the application needs to be tailored to it - a generic cv is likely to get binned.

    So if you ware told to apply for all jobs you are capable of in a area with loads of jobs how would that be possible when a tailored cv?

    Yes when i was on jsa it did say that on the agreement but i least it did not have chase up conditions at all just wait for them to reply type ones.


    I remember applying for 80 jobs in 1 hour.

    The jobs qualified for is around 70% (C&Q English and numeracy adult L1) that was application bombing and i noticed it said 476 new jobs within that hour.

    Why would jcp every set impossible tasks?

    Please speak to your support worker mtwiscool, they can see the JCP agreement and talk it through with you.
