Oh wait, he's talking about the post underneath that I missed, with the bananas.

No, that's your job. It's not like you have anything better to do. They will let you look on their system and suggest things for you, but it is your responsibility to organise applications etc. So I would brush up on your writing skills...

Actually their job is to muck up your claim, so you have to go down there more times than you have too. lol and when you do find work, they'll over pay you a fornight's money; so you have to pay them back with your wages, even when you let them know a month in advance that you've got work.

 

I haven't met anyone who hasn't been penalised whilst being on the dole yet. :smileywink:

Re: signing onto the dole next week :(

I had one sanction due to losing the paperwork to apply for a certain job and forgetting the job even existed due to poorer short term memory. Otherwise they have been quite good to me.

LA I can understand your frustration but I think it's a little juvenile to assume people are paid to bully you. Even if you got overpaid and paid back you have effectively not lost any money you just have to be more sensible in the first period of payment. Is it the government's fault if you are irresponsible with money you are given when you are overpaid?

I was gonna say, I wouldn't have spent the money because I knew they would have made a mistake.

 

The first thing I would have done is ring them up or go down the job centre and ask if they made a mistake, and then because it was, just pay it straight back.

Because you have to go and sign on, or because there's girls at the job centre that remind you of how lonely you actually are?

Re: signing onto the dole next week :(

there are jobs on their computer terminals and I think they will help you with the application process but you have to actively say "I want this job here can you help me apply" though depends on the person working in there at the time how helpful they are.

You can find tons of info on writing cvs and covering letters on the internet and there are about a million recruitment agencies.
