Don't be so silly, hardly any local jobs state that. Unless you live miles away from them and work shifts which mean public transport is useless.
Jobless to work 'clearing litter' !!!

those jobs wont be for pubs, supermarkets or office work.
none of the majour supermarkets will ask that and no pub will ask that. Well some might ask but it won't matter to the job. You have to remember a lot of it is standardised and they need it for HR, but wont matter if you have it or not.
im having a hilarious time looking for a job as we speak on jobcentre website for in my town.
Its specifying i should have a passion for working with various things, which i most certainly dont, nor do I have experience in things it says I should, nor do I have transport.
The one thing i can do - mopping toilets, is up to 10hours a week.
So.. at most Ill have 10hours work with that, which would mean I earnt how much.. a few quid more than I would be on JSA? Then iv got my transport.. lunch.. extra toileteries to wash the smell of pee off me since its toilet mopping.
Acid you will often find supermarkets can be hotly contested jobs too, with so much unemployment in certain places, or poor jobs anyway they can be seen as the cream of the crop jobs for massive amounts of the local populace.

And you do what everyone else does say you have passion, when you dont.
It is not hard getting rubbish jobs.
Im sorry but I dont think its a good idea to be lying in job interviews.
I dont want to work with people with communication difficulties, I wont lie and say I have a passion to work with them - it will be detrimental to them, in the sense they are being robbed of something I cannot give them.
I see you're from an affluent area, well thats what wiki says, im from somewhere which was nationally slated on TV and one of the reasons for this being poor wages and massive unemployment.
Go figure, not everywhere has a wealth of jobs available.

I've also lived in the countryside and plymouth. Never had a problem getting jobs there either.
Your not robbing them of anything, if you can do the job. All jobs ask you if your interested.

I saw that, On The Fiddle, i was absolutely gobsmacked at that old woman and bloke at the beginning, Ralph and (forget her name now), they had rooms and rooms full of files with peoples names etc... that they were claiming under, and they were also going through lists of all those people who emigrated to Austraila many, many years ago, so were most likely not going to come back, and so were claiming under them to.

I've done everything mate, I've even worked a year cleaning toilets once many moons ago and I was proud to do it, I don't care what people think of me, when I got my pay check at the end of the month it felt so good, not just because of the money, but because I felt at least I was making a small contribution, at least I was paying my own way, when I was young and out of work I don't think there was ever a time that I would be out of work for more than a couple of days, I used to apply for every job that was available to me, I didn't care whether I was qualified for the job or not, if that didn't net me a job then I would start personally going around to all the supermarkets, shops, hotels etc and ask for work, if they told me that I had to apply via the job centre I would ask to speak to the manager and introduce myself, persistence never fails.
It's not about lying, you have a passion to change and improve your life don't you ?, then you have to feel passionate about getting the job not what your actually doing in the job, you just bend the direction of the passion a little.
excuses excuses, I've never been to an area yet where it was impossible to get a job and I've lived in some bad areas, just go crazy, go everywhere, be persistent, bug everyone, if they tell you to fill out a form or go to the job centre tell them you want to speak to someone in charge, tackle it head on, be positive.

So you obviously thought I was scum then?
In 1972 I worked as a paper boy and on a bread round.
In 1974 I left school where I worked for the next 33 years up until last September where I was made redundant and had to visit the jobcentre.
I decided that supermarket jobs were below me, went back to college and volunteered myself into a Juvenile prison.
6 months later I ended up in a well paid job that I love.
So was I scum after paying 33 years into the system and going back to college to better myself?
yes you where as you thought supermarket jobs where below you. But at least you retrained which is a good thing.
A job is only below you if you can secure a better job.
My passion to improve my life is not to find a crap temp job, its to spend as much time as I can on sorting my fitness etc out before I start to serve my country. A temp job is not going to change/improve my life remotely tbh, so thats screwed
I didnt say it was impossible, i was merely pointing out some places are more a case of luck.
Speak to someone in charge?? at a job centre??? Are you joking?
I dont want to be cheeky.. but when was the last time you were in one? Its akin to asking for someone in charge of a call centre nowadays.
Im not particulaly sticking up for myself now as im entitled to stay on JSA till my employment commences, but I know a few people on who I think deserve to be on, due to the crap opportunitys in certain areas.

Still got all those who claim "Sickness benefit" which is loads higher than normal dole payments. They should also be sent to clear up my rubbish too. Perhaps pop over and tidy my flat as well and do a bit of cooking. I could do with a slave.
AcidHell2, I think you're slinging the word 'scum' around far too liberally.
There are people out there claiming maximum incapacity and disability, while working on builders yards or cleaning windows, and blowing it all on drugs. If you think that dmpoole is "scum" for thinking he deserved better than working in supermarkets for 33 years then I'd love to know what you think of them.

I'll assume you mean the ones claiming it fraudulently, who could actually clean up your rubbish.

iv heard cristiano ronaldo is a mean cook.
used to be, he might of changed.
I despise people who think jobs are below them. If there so below them why haven't they got a job they want.
the people you describe are the dregs of society. The problem is JSA and benefits should not be an option anyone considers. It should be so useless that you would only take it if you absoultlley had it. That's the biggest problem.
