    But it creates junk "activity" these idiots want.
    i was talking to someone who has the same adviser as me today and they only have to do 11 things per week. so why am i saddled with 37. next time i see them i am going to try and persuade them to take off or reduce some of the nonsense. i will tell them the truth. i will say look when i call these people they either say we will contact you if there is something suitable or they say send us your cv.

    this is related to coming of the WP?

    People are being forced to do a similar course from 9-5 monday to friday, for some its 2 weeks whilst the unluckiest get 3 weeks, it's yet more cv non-help, interview non-help and money stuff - my adviser claims the unemployed sometimes forgets how to budget is the reason why

    Eh? No I am not doing and 'course'. What course is that?

    Money stuff? We forget how to budget?? LOL

    Yeah cause I have a £1,000,000 to spend each week so I don't have to!

    What are you really on about?

    i must write to 3 employers per week.
    phone at least 4 employers per week.
    check ujm 7 times per week.
    ask family.
    look in papers.
    visit 3 sites everyday.
    contact 4 agencies per week.
    .


    That's nothing at all really.

    Just 3 sites a day????

    That's all do-able

    yes and i do most of that anyway. the issue is wasting time messing about filling in the form and making sure everything is correct. also phoning employers or agencies is a costly waste of time.
    the more that is required the more chance you have of slipping up and getting sanctioned.
    its actually 4 sites if you include ujm. i believe i am going to need 2 of the forms to get everything that is required recorded. in that 2 minutes i sign on are they really going to read through several pages on these forms?

    They have just thrown UJM down my throat realy, its not been as bad as some are reporting.

    I cant wait to waist my time on this course though :)
