[QUOTE="betty swollocks, post: 297157, member: 105"] Before I went self employed I was made redundant and foolishly went to the job seekers+ which should be reported to trade descriptions as there were no jobs, nobody seeking anything and I never found out what the + was for Similar degrading interview episode by a 14 yr old snotty little thing with complete contempt for my turning up Had to endure two hours of 'interview' basically being told how to find a job Questions such as As an electrician what type of businesses will you approach for a job? Erm electrical ones You must apply for 5 jobs per week and retain photocopied application forms and be able to prove you attended interviews, proof could be a bus ticket into the town the interview took place or even a parking stub! Eventually I was asked if I had any questions, yes, where are the jobs? I'm happy to do anything at all, for any pay, rather than sign on the dole "oh I'm sorry you can't search for a job at the job centre until you have been unemployed for twelve weeks" 'why not?' "it's the rule, there are people with greater need than you" 'so are you telling me that even though i want a job I can't have one and you would rather I signed on the dole?' "oh you're not entitled to benefits of any kind for 12 weeks" 'so why am I here? Forget it il find my own job........' You couldn't make it up [/QUOTE]
