A question about : 35 hours a week for Jobsearch, not possible?
I read on Consumer action Group that a poster posted that she/he needs to do 35 hours Jobsearch a week, how is that possible?
There are hardly any Jobs, some jobs need driving licence (but what if people don't have any licence, do their still need to apply for that positon to avoid a sanction?)
Also what if jobs state need experience and some people haven't? do their need to apply for that position as well?
This goverment really is rubbish, also another poster state that if you can't provide 35 hours a week for jobsearch then you could loose JSA 
How is this fair on true JSA claimants who are trying very hard to get into work? 
The goverment should tackle cheats then true and honest claimants, and David Cameron said we are in this together, yeah right
Best answers:
- It is possible, very possible.
- A well written job application can take several hours to do, as can tailoring your CV to individual vacancies. Sometimes it's about quality, not quantity.
- What else are they doing whilst the rest of us are working? If you are taking state benefits your part of the bargain is to spend your time actively looking for work not making excuses and blaming the government.
- Do you spend much time actually looking for jobs or do you just look at whats advertised?
- I don't think anyone was saying it is easy to get a job. Wasn't the point that it is easy to spend 35 hours a week looking for work? In the grand scheme of things, I would suspect that AP007 is far more likely to succeed with their approach than someone who spends an hour a day skimming sites for jobs they can do. The question was "How do you spend 35 hours job searching..." and AP007 explained how you do it - very well I might say.
- As it happens I do have a job, but I didn't for an awfully long time so know I what it's like.
