(08 Jun 2015, 5:21 pm)Malarkey I used to apply for loads of Apprenticeships on a weekly basis up until a few months ago, where I had an opportunity for an Interview for an Apprenticeship in Business Administration, and an Interview at the Mile Castle in Town, I went for the Mile Castle as it was a permanent full time position instead as they both scheduled for the same day at the same time and I was going to better off money wise, nothing I could do about being double booked on that particular day, anyway the Apprentice Advisor was not amused with this decision and opted to burn all bridges for me getting into an Apprenticeship, as she thought my heart wasnt in it and that I was unreliable etc, personally think she wasnt bothered about my future and more so the nice bonus she would of got for getting me onto an Apprenticeship.
To be honest the Job Centre have never once suggested a Job to me on there Website that has perhaps just came in or doing any Courses or Voluntary work at all in time I have been going their, Ingeus likewise what a waste of 2 Year that was, every Interview I have gotten I have gotten off doing it off my back as I have put the effort into my CV and Covering Letter, I did a Food Hygiene, Safety, Allergens and Safety in the Work Place course a few weeks back at Adecco as thought it would increase my chances of getting a Bar or Waiting Job somewhere.
Just said exactly the same thing - as long as they hit the targets and outcomes.

It is a similar story with unemployment figures.
They may be dropping, but it isn't because people are finding jobs... Read into that what you will.
The A4E case, should have been a watershed.
