    This is just a section of the forum not the whole.
    I take it nobody knows another forum then? Most seem to have posted just because they want to have a go. If there's anyone who is genuine and is willing to help please let me know as i would be happy to discuss via pm my actual issue. However i obviously wont with anyone who has chosen to come into this thread to be unkind.

    Or you could have (as many do) simply registered a new account to get anonymous advice.
    However you have now posted two threads. screaming for attention, asking about some fabled promised land jobseeker forum.

    The person "being unkind" here is the one accusing people of trolling them when they haven't done a damned thing! You haven't posted on this forum for YEARS so to come here and refuse to post, accusing people of trolling you - actually the evidence is that you are trolling. You are screaming "pay attention to me" when nobody here gives a damn about you. Your first post had a go at everyone here. And people here are supposed to be the problem. You appear to have a reality filter that isn't working very well.

    Is it the same issue as last year or a new 1 ?


    I'm afraid I don't know of another forum you could use.

    Thankyou for a civil post. No it's not the same issue. As i said though i had forgotten i had made that thread. I cant even remember what my concern was on that occasion.

    Yes you are probably right that i should just create a new username.

    Are you deliberately misunderstanding me? When i say this forum i mean the mse forum as a whole. I may not post in this section as often as others but jobseeking related discussions do occur in other sections. Lastly i am not accusing people who haven't done anything wrong. You are taking offence when i am not directing any towards you.
    Just look back a this thread. I asked for help and almost all responses did the opposite and yet you wonder why i wish to find another place to seek assistance.
  • Hi, does anyone know of any good jobseekers forums like this one? I am looking for one where I won't get trolled. That's why I am not just posting about my issue here because in the past when I posted about jobseeking issues trolls would use it against me in every thread I post in.
    This one seems pretty good. If you’ve just lost your job then the DWP can offer some help, but in general because each person’s situation will be different you probably need to start the search yourself.

    What happened, and will you get a good or neutral reference? How long had you been working for, and what skills or qualifications do you have?

    unfortunately people who haunt me in other sections visit this section. its a training/training provider/dwp related issue.

    I googled and found https://www.careerandjobsforum.co.uk

    However you are likely to get more responses on here and ignore the responses you don't like. :D
