Over a year on my last blog on this.
So whats happened?
Well my training came December time..I think, then I had to wait until April until my badge finally came. However In January the jobcenter threw me off jobseakers because i was sick and missed a day, they said id been sick twice...basically making up excuses not paying for my badge, got lucky and got a fire marshaling job/experience the next day.
Few months passed and my certificate came through and I got work in security, worked nearly full time on and off. I then got a new job with a better company, but mu old boss begged me back so I went back after getting promises of lots of work and more money. Sadly this was an appalling lie, I got hours that kept dropping and got less and less, its got that bad now that ive worked twice the whole month :(
What Next??
I have a job interview tomorrow, am hoping I get in to full time work, then can begin getting my life on track.
Plans:
Driving lessons.
Going out improving my photography skills
and most importantly visiting my friend kate and her family.
Thoughts and opinions on the Job Center
They are completely useless, I went there for help, searching for work, improve myself. They didnt care, they were more interested in getting me out of there as soon as possible, they either wanted me off jobseekers or on a course to get me off unemployment records. All they said is apply to the supermarkets, it got me very angry, to the point where me and my brother in law searched security courses, the job center did provide them however they made money off of you doing a 12 week course and then sitting another completely pointless course. What is 12 weeks reading papers going to achieve, nothing so we found a course who said the jobcenter would have to pay but they were furious with me giving them instructions on helping me get in to work. I sorted everything all they had to do was sign a piece of paper, I was that dedicated in to getting in to work yet they were pissed. Eventually they agreed, but in the end made an excuse up threw me off jobseekers and didnt pay for my license. Totally useless.
Seems to me and am not racist or anything like that but I noticed they seemed to help and want to help and deal with foreigners first. Very wrong in my mind.
