I really do feel sorry for the employers who advertise via the jobcentre though, the amount of substandard applications they must recieve will be shocking as everyone has to apply wether they fit the description or not :/

I know for sure that when we inherit Gavs dads company (which should be quite soon...) we will NOT be advertising for staff through the jobcentre. Im not going through literally hundreds of applications just to find one that fits what Im looking for.

I found myself having to sign on some years back for a short while - there I was, appeared with my wee booklet crammed with jobs I'd applied for, places I'd registred with etc - the lady who dealt with me was incredibly helpful and I honestly couldn't fault her. Still... as I say; it was the agencies that came up trumphs....... which perhaps tells it's own story. so I don't blame you !!
