Chit Chat
MINDGAMES - find a job or get tortured - 90 percent of all jobcentre applicants will be sanctioned.
they never offer you a job at your friendly advisors meetings.
Rather they ask what you the 'client' have been doing to find work.
the client can say 'nothing' and get sanctioned or make up a load of bull.
The only place you might find work is if you know someone who can get you
into a job or sign up to a job agency for minimum wages. I did this and got away
from the psycho advisors.
the job point vacancies are pretty stupid. Taking in jobs from the further reaches of the UK. Maybe a handful of local jobs to cover 100,000 local unemployed.
solution - Close down the jobcentres. Put the machines in a alcove somewhere and have a security guard/maintenance man look after them. Put everything else online. sack the staff or shift them online. Stop all the mindgames. with the money saved fund training for electricians and plumbers or some other necessary occupation.
bottom line. They are obsessed with managing failure. Time to invest in the future and the resources that they are throwing in the bin. invest in people instead of poking them with sticks.
not every job is advertised at the job centre. theres this thing called the internet, so no excuse for not finding a job. Unfortunately not everyone can be a hedge fund manager and if you have no skills you will be working for a low wage.
Had hundreds of applications for job vacancies where I work. Job seekers complain they send hundreds of letters out and never get an interview. If your CV has spelling errors and completely irrelevant to the job advertised you wont get a call. Not rocket science
Why do you think most chit chatters are unemployed?
Ive been told about an Raf job where the person had started before they even began the recruitment process

This happens a lot, even with jobs (maybe especially with jobs) that are advertised internally in large companies.

eg : I sent my cv, but got no reply.
If you use their facilities you are duty bound to interview whoever they forward so I much preferred to advertise in the press and interview in hotels.
Doing it that way I would sift the application forms and make a short list for interviews.
As regards the CVs much of a sameness about them due to job clubs and etc but easy to sort the wheat from the chaff by simply asking for solutions to imaginary problems.
There is a Government Building near me that has had One office, which for the past 40 Years, is Specifically trying to catch the 5% of Teachers that have Sex or Interference with the Under 16`s.
