Good luck Shaz.
When my daughters partner was unemployed he had to go on a course (think it was at the Globe Centre) where they got help filling out a cv and could apply for jobs from there as well. Can't remember exactly how long he had to be there but it was quite a few hours each week. If he hadn't attended benefits would have been stopped, why are these rules not applicable to everybody?
He was successful in finding a job, ok the wages aren't brilliant but they get tax credits and a bit of help with their rent. But to me it gives him a sense of pride to know that he is grafting for his money.
