Ashton under Lyne Jobcentres equivalent of the X Factor is here!
Ashton Jobcentre are now branching out into talent shows like the X factor. They now have recruitment agency called “radio reform” that whisk you off to Granada studios (at your expense of course) to record you speaking into a microphone telling folk what “talents” you have!Now is it just me but the very name “radio reform” is wrong. It’s insulting. Just because you are poor does not mean that you need “reforming”.
It is also compulsory to attend this. If you don’t you will get sanctioned!
Please don’t say it’s just myself that finds the whole thing ridiculous and offensive.
Less time making up these silly courses and stunts and more time is needed to let jobseekers actually look for real jobs if they are able to.
If its compulsory, the job centre should be paying the costs !
