So after working out that ill earn £73 quid a week for 3 nights work at a local nightclub (15 hours) about 8 miles away and that to travel there and back is gonna cost me about £25 a week I'm £2 down on what id get for sitting at home on my pc all day. Ive rang the local job centre and they said i couldn't get anything except my stamp being paid (about a fiver i believe). I would really like the job since its something i want to do but i really cant see the point in loosing more money than i already get. I have a interview tomorrow for said nightclub.

Quite. Have some pride in working for a living and not scrounging off others.

If only people actually thought that.
Alright, lets try this at a different angle, answer all questions and don't be cocky.
Have you got ANY experience working in a bar?
Have you got ANY reason why you want the job? As lets face it, the pay is cack.
Do you realise that those hours are minimal and if, IF you are able to work in a bar, the overtime is where you will earn money. As like all bar jobs. Expect to work a lot of long houred shifts as the norm.
Do you have anything else going for you in the future?
Where do you see your self going?
Do you pluck your eyebrows as they are rather bushy?

Its easier to get a job while already having a job
+ you have some deserved self respect

Indeed but i did work when i was 15 - 16 when i left school until i went to college i paid tax and Ive only been on JSA for 4 weeks so i see it as claiming my tax back at the moment.
I don't know, free money isn't exactly bad
@OP, You should get at least £85.95 based on 15 hours @ min wage.
You won't pay any tax on that and should be able to get a weekly bus pass for £10-15.

We would be in a pretty crap country if we all claimed our tax back!
Have you got ANY experience working in a bar? a little from family owned pubs in sheffield
Have you got ANY reason why you want the job? i like the place and im intrested in how nightclubs are run etc.

A strange way of looking at it. I'm glad that everyone doesn't have the mentality of wanting to claim the tax back that we all have to pay, I must have accrued a few years of JSA by now...
My advice is go for the job and see how you get on, when unemployed how well the job pays is not the top priority, it should be getting employed again so you can progress.

cool man where do i find the busses that run at 3:30 in the morning ?
This. Sort of. It's not scrounging if you're entitled to it, basically. You shouldn't see it as a choice between JSA or working, JSA is the security blanket.
It was a generalisation really not aimed specifically at you.
Your hours will increase, and you'll get tips. And you'll be earning. Much better.
Aye, it was more generalised in my head, eg "people should be...".
i didn't say i wasn't going to accept the job if offered, after some comments here i think i should take it since it opens doors. and where did i say i cba ?
