When l was out of work, l went to THREE agencies (recommended by the JC) the first one was in Staines and they told me that they wanted younger people and l was too experienced) second one was in Hounslow, they told me that they would call me that night - they didn't. I called at the offices at 7am in the morning and l was told the job had gone.
I had a phone call ay 5.30am asking me to get to Paddington for Parcelforce by 6.am when l said l didn't have transport, they said that was no good and took me off there books.
To provide jobs this government MUST invest in this country, and stop companies moving abroad by giving them incentives to stay.
You cannot expect working people to travel miles for a job and they are not getting the financial support at the end. All the government are doing is once again hitting the poor who cannot get a job.
I used to be in the deep cleaning business and stood and worked in a load of crap to make money, but that company went bust. So l know what hard work is like.

so basically you signed for an agency knowing you would not be able to do the work when it was offered ,how is that the agencies fault?.
Agencies provide a lot of work in this country ,they allow people to gain experience in certain jobs which would otherwise be hard to get

Bear in mind an educational year is 10 months ish so in my mind those who are unemployed with no real skills should be allowed 1 year in education or a practical course while still claiming a benefit. The sick already can do this but those on JSA can not. As long as they apply themselves go to the courses and show they are getting results I see this as a good idea
Incidentally the courses the DWP offer those on JSA are as much use as a chocolate teapot

so what's wrong with getting a job stacking shelves or working in a pub and doing college courses ,or even better ,applying oneself at school and taking every opportunity to get qualifications at a younger age .
