Job Centre – Hit and Miss

September 5, 2007 · 1 Comment

Just been reading some other posts under the “Job Centre” tag. There’s quite a lot out there said about people’s Job Centre and job hunting experiences. It seems that overall people’s experiences of the Job Centre seem to be both good and bad. I suppose it just seems to be pot luck as to whether you get a good member of staff – who treats you like a decent human being, or a bad one who seems to think that everyone claiming is a scrounging loser – and whether you catch the particular centre on a good day or a bad one. I expect it must be a depressing job at times, and if on one day you happen to get a couple of particularly nasty characters it must bring the atmosphere of the whole place down.

There seems to be one thing that all commenter’s seem to be in agreement on though – and that is the inefficiency, hassle and sheer ridiculousness of the claiming process!!! It really is a fucking farce!
