    Click on activity history and enter each piece of work search you do. I just keep UJM open in a separate tab whilst I search other sites as I've told JCP that their jobsearch function isn't fit for purpose.

    They will bully you in to giving them access. Dont agree to it. Evidence it all on paper.

    Why does it matter? In my experience, it's a convenient way of evidencing my jobsearch

    It doesn't, but some people just want to make life difficult for themselves, takes all sorts to make the world go round.

    Thanks for telling me that man:money:... I would never have thought of pen and paper. As a matter of fact what is pen and paper?

    Can also use Word or another word processing program.

    Alternatively, why risk a sanction for not fully utilising a system that isn't fit for purpose when job searching activities can easily be referenced using other mechanisms?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Have you ever been on JSA before? If you had you would know they alllow you to list down the jobs you've applied for on Universal Jobmatch. You don't need to try be a smartass if you don't know the situation. Obviously I know I can use pen and paper...
    Yes I have, and Ill be signing on again in a few weeks.


    They 'allow you' to use UJ, you aren't obliged to.
