Diary of a jobseeker

• Not long finished with the employment advisors whose motto is Putting Ability First - my experience over the past nine months with them was not a good one! They had four advisors who would take it in turns to attend the job club, they’ve also had a lot of work from other job clubs! (Working on it in our job club session to me seemed rude)

I was supposed to attend Voluntary/Work placement but that never happened!

After nine months, no job or work experience (having asked for opportunity of work experience to prove I can do job) I feel let down!

The government is tackling the deficit by putting the less fortunate out to fend for themselves!

• NHS application took time to fill out. I rang to check process to be told job had been withdrawn. How the hell is the PM going to cope after he has cut back on services? The public are not going to believe a word he says!

If there was any doubt job may not have come to fruition, then it should not have been advertised till who ever knows that the vacancy exists 100% ! Twice this has happened to me recently!

• PM telling us to move and look for work, re-housing people. Many have a network of family and friends who you can rely on for different things, particularly being disabled!

Personally I don’t think he has thought this idea through!
