    Hi lads,


    Can you please advice on how to get a Jobseeker Allowance.

    I finished college in August, and was trying to find something, applied everywhere, but didn't get anything, everyone is asking for some experience, which I don't have.

    So, how can I get a jobseeker allowance, where do I go first? Will I have to register with Fas, or I have to apply for Jobseeker allowance first? Do I have to talk to my local officer? Can you please, advice on each step, on what I have to do?

    Thank you

    Go to your local social welfare office and ask for an application form

    Bring as much documents as possible

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
