Whereabouts in Buckinghamshire are you, if you don't mind me asking?

In a town not too far from Milton Kenyes...about 15 minutes drive or less.

Hmm ok, so the southeast isn't really an option then.

Hah, that'd be a far old trek indeed

I'd have to go around London regardless really then.

From what I can tell, the major recruitment seems to be for managerial\team leader positions and accountancy..

You know, self-confidence is a very useful attribute for interviews

Haha, that's my problem I think

I'm not going to lie.

Ugh, I do give up sometimes. Anyway, I'm thread hijacking! Eh-up.

There's lying and there's emphasizing your role and going into more detail. Why sell yourself short?

Not really, many of us are likely in the same boat as the OP, why not keep it in one thread.

True...I've got a guy ringing me sometime next week about an interview hopefully, but that's not exactly doing something I could see being fun

They'll cover at least some of your mortgage if you claim housing benefit, and you won't have to pay council tax.

They will cover none of your mortgage until you have been signing on for 36months.
I've been unemployed since mid september & won't get any help with my mortgage until the 29th of may 09.

Phone 0845 6088501 to see what you are entitled to.

i done it over the website and like i said above it took me a week to actually be on JSA so hardly what i'd class as useless

just going by what the lady in the job centre said. i applied online and they never got back to me. when i went in to see why she said she doesnt know why people bother applying online because this same thing happens all the time. apparently quicker over the phone
