If you REALLY want to be in work straight away, you should join a temp agency. Had you have done that already you would probably have been working and earning a wage rather than making these silly videos, which are only promoting yourself as somebody who thinks they deserve to have everything given to them. God forbid you have to spend anymore time in the Job Centre, rubbing shoulders with the tracksuit wearing untouchables of this world...God forbid! (and I'm done)
So when you do pick up your £106.90 next week...don't forget your 'frivolous day'. And while you're spending your money on taxis and organic soya milk, please just spend a minute to think about the people who are in exactly the same situation to you. Who, on their 'frivolous day' are wondering whether to eat that day, or pay for some electricity.
@syncmaster299 Hi, actually I walk or take the metro and I've never drunk organic milk in my life. Today I went to the Job Centre for the first time to sign on and had applied for several jobs - which won't count when I sign on in two weeks. I'm working hard. I'm not slagging the staff - just the process.
If you want a job and want the Job Centre to help you get a job, you have to do the work to get that job. It's NOT up to them to find you a job. It's their job to make sure you're actively looking for work.
Essentially, whether you realise it or not, you have slagged off the Job Centre and all of its staff. If you don't think you have then you are more deluded than you think.
If everyone was able to do it online, then chances are they would be filling in their search report book whilst already working in another job.
I've just emailed the link to this video to two of my friends who work at the Job Centre. 10 minutes after sending it I had a reply asking me 'Is this for real? Is it a spoof?'.
No doubt it will make its way around other Job Centres around the country as the day goes on.
THAT is why the staff member only went through the bar work jobs with you. If you think they have time to sit with you and go through a career path, then you are completely and utterly living on another planet.
They NEED you to go in every two weeks to see what you've been up to. Yes, of course they're going to be checking up on you. Benefit fraud costs this country millions every year.
They lack something that the majority of this country takes for granted, a job. As a result of this they don't have much money. They don't have the lifestyle that you have clearly become accustomed to. A 'frivolous day' to people who have been out of work for some time is a day where they can pay the £1.20 bus fare instead of having to walk.
There are almost 2 million people out of work in this country. THAT is why you only get 4 minutes.
You then go about how grim the Job Centre is. I've been to many a Job Centre in my time. I'm not sure what you were expecting? A health spa atmosphere? Overly good looking 'greeters'? Cute Disney characters chasing each other around playfully?
No, at the Job Centre you get people who are out of work. Some of these people may have been out of work for quite some time. Many of them are dashed of their confidence.
Firstly, if I were your prospective employer and happened to see this video, I would not employ you because your attitude seems to stink.
Your 'woe is me' attitude to actually having to get up and go to the Job Centre at 9am, of all things. 9am! How dare they get you in for such a ridiculous time? I mean, who else is up at that time of the morning? Nobod....oh, wait... Almost the entirety of the country.
The hell you don't qualify for redundancy! The period you spent working for free should count towards your employment period. If you were terminated and not made redundant [subtle difference] they should be siting grounds - lack of productivity etc. In the absence of that, you could be entitled to take action against them for unfair dismissal. If they told you you were being made redundant, as you said in your first video, then they mislead you. You need to get some advice on this.
There's plenty of work out there, you will definiteIy be a hit whatever you choose to do. I've been a fan of your work for a while, your fanbase stretches farther than you think, I'm a follower of the Newcastle scene, and I live in spain. Don't worry, I'm not mental or anything. lol. Just appreciate the arts all over the globe. Good Luck, I really mean that. On a different topic, the bands I've been seeing coming out over there are awesome. Little Comets, Grandfather Birds. etc, they're splendid

@syncmaster299 I wasn't advised to join a temp agency, maybe I would have if someone at the job centre had suggested it.
