I like the idea of the work credit scheme. However, I have been reading that there are a number of interview tat you have to go through throughout the time that you are claiming. How on earth can you get to these interviews if you would be working full time. A tthe very least, it would be extremly inconvenient.

AFAIK you don't necessarily need to attend interviews, you just need to submit payslips to provide evidence that you are still working. This could be done by post if you were working full time and unable to attend interviews.
