The way the system is set up is for the long term unemployed,the short term unemployed like myself are the ones that lose out the most.
Anytime I have to sign on I'm asking about going on some electrical courses that will get me back to work quicker,and every time I ask it is like hitting my head of a brick wall.
According to them I have to be unemployed for a certain length of time to qualify for being sent on a course,or getting a written letter from an employer saying they will employ me if I have done a certain course and have the ticket for it(not much chance of that happening)
My point is you have to sit on the dole for a few months at least before you can get any help from them.
My other point is the way is benefits system is set up in certain cases people would be stupid to take a job as they would be a lot worse off that sitting in the house all day.
We do need decent jobs that pay a decent wage that you can live off and have some prospects or long term employment.But they seem to be dying a death with the rise off the agencies.
