I should sue the jobcenter. I decided earlier to get p!ssed instead of angry. Heres why.
A good friend of mine used to work with me in a hotel. He also plays guitar and plays in a band. His music kicked off better then his bartending skills and I got talking to him last week. He plays with his band in many pubs and knows who needs what and why, it helps him get free drinks to be friendly and bring in customers which also helps.
He put in an excellent word for me saying I was the best Cellarman he has ever worked with. 4 bars to look after and never a problem.This place he got me an interview with had only 2 bars. Easy as soap on skin. The landlord agreed to see me before he actually advertised for the job.
Now a friday is an agreed jobsearch day that I look for work. The arrangement I have with the jobcenter is I turn up every friday to look for work, yesterday I had a job interview. I phone up the jobcenter explaining my interview I get no leeway whatsoever. Its agreed I turn up so I have to. Apparently, looking for work is more importent than actually finding it. I tried to delay my interview for a better time but its a no go.
I now look like an incompetent tool, who talks a good game. I now officially give up. Its tiresome, it really is. Stories like what this topic has raised have more meaning, what chance do I have? I cant sue, im white and british. Off the record though, my missus didnt half give to some woman at the jobcenter !
