    On the Job seekers application Part 4 were it asks "Where have you tried to get work? Please attach any documentary evidence." Do I just print out emails which I have sent and received as well as say a history page from jobs websites registered with that show all the jobs I applied for etc and also how many would I need to bring with me and over what duration of time? I ask this as I have applied for around 100 positions since November though I only finished my employment as of yesterday. Printing out so many emails seems like overkill but I am hoping it will improve my case as regards the potential 9 week disqualification period for leaving employment voluntarily.

    Keep a log of all the job applications you've made, including when you've been called for job interviews. Bring as much proof with you as possible.

    Yeah this was a sham. I spent an entire weekend printing out correspondence which easily came to about 200 pages and when I went into the social welfare office the woman behind the counter said it was far too much and only asked for the last 3 positions which I had applied for! Was quite annoyed to be honest after wasting so much time.

    You went way overboard in fairness, why would they expect 200 pges of applications from somone only recently made unemployed? I'v never heard of anyone having hassle over that part of the form it's just another box to tick. I just wrote down the places I applied to, was never asked to produce the documentation. But fair play to you for pounding that pavement, hope something turns up for you!
