Anywho, goat sniffing aside...

Didn't get the DWP/Jobcentre bully boy job. However the jobcentre bully boy wot saw me yesterday has given me the specs of a similar job for the DWP. Hopefully this time I wont have to re-take the screening again if I get past the first phase.

Only one more confirmed interview left.

Question for those on JSA : Do any of you who have had the 3 month review meeting now have to sign on weekly rather than fortnightly?

I did, but it only lasted 3 weeks then went back to fortnightly.

No, I still went every 2 weeks and signed on when I saw my personal advisor.

I asked my bully boy and he told me it was because they were selecting people they thought most likely to get back into employment quickly. Which was encouraging. Then he told me with disarming honesty "I wouldn't call it a waste time but it's certainly not been the success we hoped it would be".

I claimed my bus fare back!  cussing:

Had good interview with the ambulance service today. Getting the hang of these public sector interviews now as the questions are broadly the same. Just need to rehearse my answers more and sell myself at the actual interviews.

While I was waiting to go in I got a fone call just as I was about to turn my fone off. Assessment day tomorrow with a well known purveyor of insurance etc. I'm told this could last all day. Including a Geography test and 'group activities'.  eyes:

Looking at my job application record I see that since the new year I am getting about a 10% hit rate for interviews. In the 4 months before xmas it was less that 2%. Which doesn't seem too bad wot with the current climate etc etc.

I may be deluding myself but I remain positive.

A compass for the Geography test and impetus for the "group activities". That should do the trick  8)

Group activities; sounds like an appraisal of team playing abilities  rubschin:
