Programs like this make me so cross, it paints such an ugly picture of people on benefits, yes, some are vile scum, but some, like me, really are pleasant citizens just trying to get a job, and have been for the past 5 years (I’m 22) , I actually managed to get one at the start of the year , purely because a friend was friends with a club owner… before the company went under, now its back to square one. PLEASE don’t let programs like this make you paint everyone with the same brush!!!!!
the main problem I find is lack of experience , most job vacancies usually say “experience essential” it’s a rare thing to find an employer that is prepared to give you a chance… shouting “get a job” at someone is all well and good (and horrifically patronizing) but unless you have a job to offer it isn’t very helpful…
