Strange on this JSA and In Time Finance LTD Ipswich

[Greer8472]

Where shall I start.

 

I got some print outs from JSD beginning of last week. There was two. One for an employment agency where I some how need experience in hygiene which I have none what so ever but I would like to get into H&S but this has nothing to do with what I learnt just because I know what COSHH is I was asked to apply for it. lol... need I say more.

 

To get to the point of the matter I done some research on the Internet like you should when you job search and found that In Time Finance LTD Ipswich appeared on this forum. I learnt through this site that this company has another trade name Cash Genie and a lot of people have been having problems with them. Trading standards being involved maybe, horrible tactics and possibly fraud.

 

I will be reporting these issues to my job advisers but I am not hopeing the best. Stuck here to be honest.

 

These print outs come from the job advisor not from the machine.

 

What do the users, helpers & mods think about this?

 

Thanks for everyone for bringing this to my attention.

As the job advisor has given them to you I'd also expect that they will be monitoring the applications to see if you actually do apply for them.

 

They are really cracking down on this atm so expect no mercy whatsoever if you fail to do anything in your JSAg or as directed by an advisor like applying for a job.

 

As we read regularly not being qualified for a job is not being accepted as a valid excuse for not applying. So I can therefore only imagine what a DM will think when you tell them that "I didn't apply for this job because I read on the internet that they may be bad people".

 

Whilst I commend your moral stance! Are you seriously willing to risk up to 26 weeks without benefits (due to being sanctioned) based on the unsubstantiated musing of anonymous people on an internet forum?

There are no depths too murky for JCP to descend.

had an advert out our JC a few months back asking for escorts. if its legal they advertise it. I was going to apply my self but dont have the looks for it. (see my avatar for idea of what I mean)

The number they used for the job application seemed to be a dud. Phoned it several times and it rang for a few times and it gave a dead tone.

 

The JSC advisor accepted this a let it be. If the JSC wish to

investigate this they can but I am not going to waste time when I have other applications to apply to. I can't say more then pleased that this is the case.

Precisely, there is little choice in the matter, if its legal employment the Jobcentre can be taken to court and has been taken to court over such matters. Its worth pointing out however that jobseekers can decline to apply for any job in the sex industry (which can include less obvious roles such as a warehouse assistant for Ann Summers) without it affecting their benefit.

 

I do find a certain irony however in the press criticising a government body for advertising sex industry jobs when I've never seen a local paper that didn't do exactly the same and probably couldn't care less about what the jobs entailed as long as they got paid for the advert.

 

Its especially amusing when the Daily Express preaches about such matters given its owner's empire of porn channels.
