They just take you in and you job hunt in their presence. Nothing you can't do at home. But they force people to spend money travelling and make them go out of the way to these meetings. But the force that they use is using your jobseekers benefit and threaten to cut you off if you don't engage with them. There's something wrong with the whole process.

And there are those who just call into a company and ask them to stamp s letter to say they applied for a job but didn't get it when it's bull. This way there's a record of what was and wasn't applied for. I think it's a great idea to get the work shy off the taxpayers backs

What difference when on the dole, you get some money and you're offered some help to get back to employment. If you don't want to/ like to/ wish to engage then don't and don't go whining about having no money. You can't have it all ways.
This is shocking. We don't live in a democracy and anybody who thinks we do is living in cloud cuckoo land. This lady is like the guard at Auschwitz who said he was only doing his job, herself and her private company Turas Nua should be chased out of Limerick and everywhere else this British company is operating. People need to wake up and get rid of these bullies and thugs. Well done Gregory for standing up to these Black and Tans

Don't and then fund your own lifestyle. 3 minutes in and I couldn't take another second of it, poor woman only doing her job and having to deal with that nonsense. Imagine how victimised he'd feel if he had to work if he's so appalled at having to sign a form

We're a bit too soft in this country, we need to identify those people who feel entitled to a free living and cut them off, sorry but mammy and daddy have to get tough at some stage.

Anyway half on this are on the dole (some of those with tens of thousands of posts cough). The hypocrisy is stagerring on this.

Look, if you're a brickie, a hairdresser, or a computer programmer, it doesn't mean you are forever condemned to doing those jobs......if there's a job that requires a lesser level of skill why wouldn't you take it?? Then work your way back to your chosen area of work......it's easier to get a job when you've got a job as the old adage goes.

Of course you would pal. Come on. Work your way up to what. Dead end jobs are called that for a reason!. Aint nowhere to go in them.

What a loaded post What circumstances should we accept for somebody being on job seekers allowance for long periods of time while not searching for work?
