Places to seek help
while job hunting
With more people seeking work and less jobs on offer the job seeker has a
harder task than ever before. The government fund training centres and provide
some support to help with career options and improving your resume.
Unfortunately some of these are only available after you have been signing on
for benefits for 13 weeks. The Job Centre and Citizen Advise Bureau are able to
tell you who you can contact and you may get a referral and so the service is
free.
