JSA Personal Advisor out to get me?

"Cry me, cry me a river", when they advise people to make a certain number of job searches, like 10 per week or whatever it is. That doesn't mean you stick to it, there are so many jobs out there. If you really wanted a job, outside of the field of your degree, plenty of opportunity to do so. Theres nothing wrong with a cleaners job, leaflet distributer, waiter...... and whatever happened to work trials/volunteering.....

I've had work since signing on but it's all been temp work in a 'field' outside of my degree. Why is it that people in work immediately frown upon someone for signing on!? I've worked since I was 11 years of age and it's only now that I'm out of work. My parents payed their taxes for years so that when I grew up, if I absolutely needed to, I could sign on.

Also, with the way you've worded your response I'd hazard I guess you weren't English. And if you are, please re-sit your English exams.

Thanks for your condescending response.

I'm aware of work trials and I refused to do them. Would you work for free? Would you pay the money you're given to live on transport to get to a location where you're quite literally working for nothing?
No, of course you wouldn't. Unless you're a proper do-good Tory and as we all know, Tories are CU**S. They're the reason this country is in the state that it is.

Pretty bold claim for someone who misspelled 'paid'.

The fact that your parents worked means you don't have to work? Oh, I didn't know that: I guess I should look forward to a life of luxury then.

I dunno kiddo, I sometimes wonder if the country isn't the way it is because of people like you.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to resit my English GCSE, IM NOT UNEMPLOYED . The government only offer it to those who go to "dole club". Might give you something to talk about at the next sign on.

I wish I could though, next time Im unemployed..... I will look into it, like the third of never. Work trials don't hurt, you can gain a wealth of experience, you don't learn work skills at university for sure. So when you have gaps in your employment....what sounds better.....the fact you have been working even if it is for nothing or Ive been unemployed "x amount" of time.

Work trials aren't for free... You're being paid jsa? If I don't do anything I don't get paid... Sorry may sound Tory but if you're on jsa you should work for it!

You're not sounding Tory dw, and tbh the Tories doesn't have anything to do with this. At the end of the day its just people being lazy and aren't willing to suffer a bit to get what they want. Thats part of the problem with this country, we're so generous and nice to people (which people don't realise and take for granted) and so we've become lazy and now aspire to mediocrity.

People sitting on their ass - doing the bare minimum to get by. Stop complaining. If you're fortunate to live with parents(/guardians) who are willing to feed you/ house you, then they're doing this so that you dont have to worry about those things and can instead concentrate your time in getting a top job and making the most of your potential ability.

We all have to ability to do well and we live in a country that allows just that. Instead a lot of people are just making excuses, being lazy and resort to complaining.

When I was made redundant it took 7 months to find work stick in there.

I never claimed JSA but kept an excel spreadsheet of my job hunting to make follow up easier. For evidence you can also keep screen shots of application e-mails you have sent etc.

I literally couldn't understand any of this.

You seem pretty smug! Hows working at the brothel pay these days anyhow? You're definitely not an English teacher that's for sure!

You're stereotyping 2.56 million people in the UK as lazy and aspiring to mediocrity?

Haha, funny guy, says the poly grad on the dole.... three letters U C L.....

Three dots my friend... < like this... that's an ellipsis.

Good luck getting a job once, sorry if you graduate.
