    Maybe it is the DWP deliberately getting peopele to turn up for jobs which do not exist.
    Last year my OH and I were unemployed, and were sent on an employabilty course by the DWP. We are both highly trained and my OH has 2 degrees in science.
    We arrived early at the course, and were told that they had no knowledge of any course taking place there. The guy did tell us that the courses had been relocated a mile away.
    When we arrived there and told the staff (Go Train), they were not interested in the least no apology whatsoever.
    I reckon half the "jobs" on various jobsites do not exist.

    You just never know, do you?
    I was just reading this thread and thinking that even though this probably doesn't happen too often, it's bad enough having to deal with recruitment agencies constantly posting fake jobs!
