It is a bloody joke, every interview I have had has been off my own back, as these companies are just about bums on seats. The Government should be creating jobs for us, not all of this round about stuff. It has been a full time job looking for these non existent jobs, and over 20 courses. I have really put myself out there and done loads of things to help me get paid work. Two and half years of being a job seeker. :(Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782979432216463384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-76726536420685960482012-08-16T01:58:07.369-07:002012-08-16T01:58:07.369-07:00After 104 weeks the work programme will be a dista...After 104 weeks the work programme will be a distant memory.
