I had a good experience at the job centre today. I did not have my normal adviser this week but the one I had was great. She was chatty even though she was running late; and because she was running late, there was only enough time for me to sign on.

I applied for a job on-line. It was for a personal shopper in a local supermarket, I like shopping, so I thought, why not?  Again, after a few questions, I waited in anticipation of a positive outcome. Alas, once again, it was not to be. Yet again, I had not managed to pass the minimum requirement needed to move the application forward.

But once again, it suggested I look at my answers. After looking at those answers, I cannot see where I went wrong, and having worked in retail some years ago, I have some experience of what they would be looking for.

I'm wondering, just what are those minimum requirements. I'm going to change my qualifications to the basic ones I have, see if  that changes things. But that's just an idea, I don't know if I can be bothered to joust with that Internet robot again. 

What next?

 I had a phone call when I got home from another agency, asking me to give them a ring. I'll do that tomorrow. When once again, I'll be trawling the net in search of work.
