Thanks chaps, im really hoping this comes off and i can get back to working and get my self confidence and esteem back.Being out of work really does get you down so much.You can add another 1 to the stanley attendance aswell if i get the job, something ive missed alot as i used to go to alot of home games, but with money being short i havent been able to manage it.

If your good on phones and computers you could try Express Gifts in Clayton. They just took a load on, but might take on more? Not everybody gets past the training....

:) To be honest there isn't many Polish in the Clayton one that I know of. That is more the warehouse.

re: Does it pay to work? - Workfare
 

I am confused, in two minds (or more than two) about this. On the one hand I totally see the OP's points, when you don't have much money it makes sense to not spend it-unless it's worth it-if you are on a work placement your travel has to be considered. Do the DWP still do the whole paying a jobseeker money to buy clothes/for travel etc when they get a job? Perhaps they should do something similar when placing on work placements and/or at least make sure that the placement is within walking distance if possible? Working costs money-travel, food, clothes, grooming, other things I am sure.
Do they put people on suitable work placements, to their skills and experience?
On the other hand, for the people who have no intention of getting a job and do not make any effort to get one, I would be happy to see them forced into doing some work in order to keep their benefits. But how would the gov have them differentiated?Sorry if I sound droll, I'm stumped on this one.

Nowt to be confused about, Its just a cheapskate way of massaging the employment figures.

re: Does it pay to work? - Workfare
 

I asked all those questions a while back but hit a wall of silence so I've given up.:confused::mosher:

Had my interview this morning and should find out the early part of next week, fingers crossed i'l get it, i really hope so.

re: Does it pay to work? - Workfare
 

Im 29.
Ive got my city and guilds in vehicle respraying.
The placement is in blackburn.
Its not a tremendous task to get there but thats not the point i have to pay my own travel expenses.
Ive applied for countless jobs, picking and packing, im willing to do any job, been to interviews only to be told im either to qualified and will leave when a better job comes up ie paintspraying.
This work placement is labouring and driving mainly.
As far reasonable prospects on the horizon well im hoping this tescos job comes off i really do otherwise i despair.

I had a job involving recruiting and interviewing,a while ago for a finance company..Any CVs with degrees or qualificatins that were trade-specific,went to the bottom of the pile,I learnt that in my training :(
