Exaclty but best thing to do is go around the whole estate and get names who wnat the paper delivered weekly

then sell the list to the paper shop , the more you get the more valuable the list is

And all these required work experience people, or people on a 4 week course, are immediately taken off the unemployed total, so these Tory tw@ts can claim unemployment is falling and what a great job I DS is doing. Fcking   liars the whole shoddy shower of 'em.

yeah if you dont show up for a course you get taken of so unemployment goes down

Facts, some work experience would do many people a lot of good.

It's not about providing firms with cheap labour.
That's the last thing that the scheme has been set up for.

They get far more than the minimum wage if you take their dole for a period against two weeks work.

That's all they've ever done for their money.
I'd like to receive a years dole money for two weeks work.

its cheap labout nothing else about it

most people in the job centre want work ffs and would happily take a 2 week payed trial and then take the job as its easy as fck i would imagine stacking sheleves , but they DONT TAKE PEOPLE ON.....THATS THE WHOLE POOINT THEY DRAFT SOMEONE ELSE IN AFTER 2 WEEKS

its the people on the sick that dont want work

If these companies need staff, then give them a job instead of exploiting cheap labour.

As Kevin Bridges says on his DVD.

They send you to Poundland for your J.S.A. so you gain some self-esteem. How much self-esteem will you get when everything in the shop is worth one pound......except you.

Then he does a mime of using s phone:
'Hello, British Gas, I've got your bill, but unfortunately no cash. I do have lots of self-esteem though. How about I send you a photo of me smiling with my thumbs up?'

Ikea and Sainsbury's are another two stores i won't be spending my hard earned benefits in.

Anyone looking for retail work experience could do worse than volunteer at an given charity shop in town as they're always looking for additional staff.

Where i volunteer i get 25% off Excited

With our youngsters leaving school each July it means one of two things to the unemployed:
Huge rejoicing for the work shy, as thousand's of youngsters get taken on for a couple or three pound an hour, filling jobs, meaning they (the work shy) can continue their daily drinkathon @ Wetherspoons. which leaves those genuinely seeking work in total despair.

What a bleak situation!

Work experience? 4 weeks roll on - roll off and a quick phone call to the Jobcentre - "send the next lot down"

No worthwhile training - shelf stacking and toilet cleaning - no responsibilities.

Soul destroying with companies shafting the unemployed.

..and I'm no leftie believe me
Report TheChaser • August 19, 2014 10:56 PM BST
work experience is done at school when your like 15 an absolute joke imo

if they have jobs give paid trials , and if they get offered a job and refuse it then maybe there is a reason to cut the benefits

how many people would work 80 hours a fort night for £140, seriously , call them lazy if they turn it down but i guarantee the people that are for this wouldnt do it themselves
