I would say any Govt that does that is doing the right thing and anyone who needs help and advice should have it for as long as and when they need it.
I was agreeing with Ellen anyway in the main, I have made my point and of course I would say it is Govts duty to ensure all is done to help the unemployed find work and prepare for that especially moreso in times of high and long unemployment periods.
I wouldn't call such help pampering anyway or see it that way,(it's not a battle with the unemployed people themselves). I would just term it the right thing to do for them and the Nation too actually.

Learning how to pull together a CV is something that people should not have to rely on the Government to show them how to do - I'm astounded that you would think that that was the responsibility of Government, and not of the person seeking the job. Do we live in a world these days that some are not prepared to do some ground work themselves but want / expect others to do everything for them - without them putting some effort in themselves.
Careers advisors in schools, colleges and universities are avail to assist with such things, thousands of sites online are available at no cost to show how to prepare a CV , employment agencies will show you, (and will present their own preferred format to their clients), DWP have courses to show how to do these things. It really is not difficult to find out how to construct at CV without expecting even further assistance from the Government - which is actually already out there and available. .
I would say that the Government do as much as they possibly can to assist jobseekers: sometimes people need to help themselves, and there are those within the job seeking market who simply won't - and will use anything as an excuse.
I have never said on this thread that there are enough jobs for every job seeker to be employed.
What I have said is that not all job seekers are willing to do what it takes to find work - preferring instead to use
''can't" when perhaps ''Won't'' may be more applicable.
Some people may make it incredibly difficult to be placed in employment due to their rigid demands and lack willingness to compromise: whether it be on situation/hours/ location / working week / shift pattern / travel / salary - and that's without even going near the person suitability for the job.
