I thought people who were job seeking were looking for a job. I didn't know employers were offering jobs. Quite bizarre. How does it work? I am confused.

I was on the dole about 15 years ago, and I had to apply for jobs I wanted. But now it seems claimants are offered jobs????? Is this true?????????

Weird.

I think they can offer you jobs that if they fit your skillset people would have to take, I am not against this per se as long as its a job that you can either be trained into or have some experience in and it is within the persons capabilities and the pay is decent, and it is not used as a way to get cheap labour
