As part of my Job search commitment that i signed under duress, i must attend any courses or sessions my job coach wishes to send me on, so today i am at a Group information session
There are 12 of us here all unsure why or what to expect.
The session starts late
This information session is run by the National Careers service, it is designed to help us all get back into work.
In typical AA meeting style the tutor goes round the room asking us our names and our situation ( what was our industry)
There is a huge variety, some of us are unemployed for the first time and looking to get back on the horse
Others are looking for a complete change of career
Some Uni & college graduates with no work experience
and 2 people who are employed but not full time so DWP dont think that's sufficient.
Most f the course is teaching us seasoned workers to suck eggs
How to write a CV
How to write covering letter
All a little pointless as most jobs these days require you to complete their own application forms and CV aren't accepted
At the end of the session we are told to email our CVs to the tutor and he will be calling us once a week to follow up on our progress as "our success equals his success" (KPIs i am assuming)
So i go straight to the library and dutifully email my CV
