Live always works out, you'll get something in the end.
I'm pretty sure I remember you saying you were working in a jobcentre or something like that... that you used to work there and they have the same staff. Something like that.

I used to, about ten years ago.
Since then I've done regeneration stuff. However, I've reapplied for the Jobcentre as they have 4000 jobs going nationally. Feedback from the online assessment is very positive but they're still doing the application sifting, which so far has taken a month.

Coolio, it's a bit of a joke that the job centre takes so long to fill a possition.
There was something on the telly the other day about a bloke challanging an MP or whatever to living off benfits for a week in his area. I'd fucking love to see that, these people are so far removed from what people have to go through that it's unreal.

The cogs in the civil service turn very slowly.
I imagine they've had thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of applications for these posts, so it's not too surprising really. But still...

In the mean time, a job roll has gone unfilled, someone has had to make up the work-load and loads of people are left wondering and waiting if they have a job.
What happens if you get a good offer tomo and then three weeks later you get an interview for the civil service one?

I'd take whatever's offered, really.
Can't not. If I got a Jobcentre interview, whether I would go or not would depend on what I was doing at the time, the pay I was getting, the location...

Working in the Jobcentre was pretty soul destroying, to be honest, but a lot of that was down to the office I worked in (a bigger bunch of humourless, joyless bastards you couldn't hope to meet) and the constant red tape.
