Is anybody here Dole in the UK?I unfortunately am, but was very shocked when I signed on that they didn't even bother offering to help with a job search, ask me what I'd done to look for a job or even suggest agencies. It's like they're accepting that you're not going to work or something. Has anybody else noticed this?
Alternative question: What's the weather like there? W4 and miserable here (Grove Park)

i think they have recently had a large influx of people needing to go on the dole,so probably don't have time to fully take the care that they used to.

I'm Dole in a different country, which means I'm getting far more money than you, but I had the same experience signing on.Let's face it, they know the economy's banjaxed, and they've so many povs to deal with that they haven't the time to grill them.

Really?That was pretty much my only selling point when renting out the room, the promise that you'll move down here soon, and maybe someday you would be his girlfriend. He really wants that, he was even saying the other day "Gosh Jee, I sure do wish Jenpots was my girlfriend. A guy like me can feel proud with a gal like that.".

searching for one yourself is much easiergo down to agencies on the street, they are really helpful, CV, how to dress, how to conduct interviews etc...
Whenever I needed a job I have got one within 2 days in the past, good luck buddy - agencies the way forward :o)
