    the one I did
    1 day was setting uplinkedin account
    another 2 days of power point slides of different kinda of interviews
    1 day going through CV layouts , elevator pitch etc
    1 day doing practice interviews,
    1 day with guests giving advice and information for those who might be interest in doing more course, self employed job networking etc.

    they get you to stand up in front of the group to do different pitch to get people used to public speaking and confidence building etc.

    you get bunch of handouts.

    one thing I remember from it was the two running it on behalf of FAS kept telling US to avoid recruitment agency.

    lasted about 8 days but to be honest the whole thing should not have more than 3. days were split over 2 days a weeks.
    but we got to do a group vote of 2 days would suit everyone the best.

    the jobs club scheme I did was a pilot form we were the first group so it prob changed bit since then.

    well it sounds like it might be worthwhile for me as I stink in interviews and that, Thanks for the information. Where did you do yours if you don't mind me asking ? also how many hours a day would it be ?
