That's because he would no longer be classed as unemployed.

I know what he's going through, they give no real encouragement, just want a long list of jobs applied for, it doesn't matter what jobs, if you applied for a job as a heart surgeon it wouldn't matter that you aren't qualified or that you have no hope in hell of getting it you have to apply for something. You can't turn up and say, 'I've been searching Every day all the jobs I've found I've already applied for', you must find something to put down and they will do anything including misinformation on the Govt jobs website to get you off their books.


Here's a question, I believe the minimum legal hourly rate is £6.19p how can the Govt site legally advertise jobs for less money than that?
(I know that under 21 can be employed for less but these jobs make no mention of a trainee rate, just advertise the job like it's for older people).
