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.
