If you're well qualified you shouldn't need them.
If your qualifications are worth advertising you should find a job quickly and barely need the dole. If not, then how long should you wait before taking a shelf-stacking job (for example)?
If you don't need a job enough to hide your qualifications then you're very priviledged and should think yourself damn lucky.
I'd say the staff were giving good advice to their demographic.

Try
telling that to the qualified students with no work experience leaving Uni. Even jobs stacking shelves are at a premium but no fear, big Dave's big society will sort them all out by firing all the paid charity workers and replacing them with people claiming benefits. I admit this may be good for the career scroungers however.

The advice is supposed to be one-on-one
a general demographic isn't relevant.
