clare :

last time i went she made me cry because i didn’t apply to FIFTY jobs in the week. there AREN’T 50 jobs going💀

meg :

I remember when I was learning to drive and they said it doesn’t contribute to training for a job, SO MANY JOBS REQUIRE A LICENSE???

oreborn :

they offered me a job that was 4 hours away and the start time was 5:30am 💀

EL GATO :

they asked my dad who had to quit his job due to being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer whether he was looking for another job 🫩

✮ Lamb ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა :

I got sanctioned for not applying to a job because I had literally just accepted one on the phone AT MY APPOINTMENT. she saw me accept the job and chose to sanction me after 🥲

sae :

once missed a call from a potential employer bc i was in a uc appointment 😭😭😭 the joke writes itself actually

‧☁︎✩·:*¨★ felicia ★¨*:·✩☁︎‧ :

i was on universal credit then fell pregnant so nowhere would hire me, they had me still going to the job centre, i went at SEVEN MONTHS pregnant and was asked how my job search was going.. you could visibly see how pregnant i was too.

¡sla :

got sanctioned for missing an appointment while i was AT the appointment 🫩

ukcargirlie :

It’sNotRacheal :

Got sanctioned for turning down a job at a fish packing factory because I’m allergic to fish..

Lucy :

Ours is an open room. So everyone sees everyone. Hate it 😂

. :

They always say “you gotta be full time 20-30 hours” I’m not getting that with no experience man

𝓦𝓲𝓵𝓵𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱𝓫𝔂 :

I applied to be a work coach after being advised to because im a lovely person and great with people and I got immediately rejected

Love Me Not by Mais :

I am self employed but they said I can’t register as self employed as my earnings don’t count because I don’t earn the same amount every month. I don’t know a single self employed person whose earnings are like that. I still have to register my own tax tho so hmmm

Joce💕 :

when I was with the job centre I'd apply for every single job I saw on Indeed cuz they wanted 50 applications a week. I then got sanctioned for "deliberately" applying for things I wasn't qualified for. IM NOT QUALIFIED FOR ANYTHING

Jen A Liz MacLennan :

There is a HIRING PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD BE HAULING EMPLOYERS IN , NOT JOB SEEKERS. ENOUGH WITH THEIR GASLIGHTing. People are sending 10000’s of cvs to the ether, to be data mined for profit,for scams, scam interviews. No, the job centre should be for EMPLOYERS. PERIOD. Then the job centre can actually act like an employment agency.

Stephanie :

Told them my step mum died and needed to help care for my dad / siblings… she told me I need to prioritise things better HUH

Gabriella Sawyer 🫶🎬 :

Also you can be employed and still be on universal credit people act like that’s not the case 😭

shannon⚡️ :

my last appointment was my first appointment after getting properly diagnosed with social anxiety. the donny told me "you need to get outside more" i would if i could 🥀

becca;)~ :

this is definitely a universal experience 😏

char🌙 :

They’d ask me why I couldn’t take my child with me to work or job interviews 🤭

Elz 🌪️ :

I asked my work coach at the end of my appointment to print my CV for me as there's no libraries near me and I don't have access to a printer and she told me she couldn't because she had another appointment in twenty minutes??? The same work coach that asked why I hadn't applied to a teaching job when I didn't even finish college.

pale.bb :

got told by my literal doctor that I can not continue doing my line of work (chef work) as it significantly affected my health and wellbeing, told my work coach after being written off of my at the time chef job BY MY DOCTORRRR that I wont be applying for those types of jobs and she was ignored it completely, asked if it 'is really that bad?" and put me forward for multiple kitchen jobs i genuinely dont understand what their job is if they dont listen to people whatsoever

Jack Bales :

I ended up in the job centre one time when I was 18 and I made a promise to my self I’d never go back

Daisy Tomlinson :

A work coach made me cry (phone call) I showed up and reported him to his boss and got changed to a new lady who’s so lovely
