I have been looking for a job but given the current job market and quite honestly, my pretty poor CV I decided to do some work experience for a law firm. This was arranged by the job centre. I should probably add that this isn't 'mandatory' as I have only been claiming JSA for 5 weeks and I decided to do this because I thought it would help me gain some skills/experience.
You dont get paid apart from the paultry sum of 70 quid a week or whatever and it is for two months.
I had my first day the other day and they had me vacumming the floors, emptying the bins and doing the washing up. When I wasn't doing these tasks, I was photocopying hundreds of pages of documents. Getting there is a complete hassle, i can either go by bus which would take around 2 hours which the jobcentre would pay for, or get the train which means I would have to spend about 10 quid on a train ticket everyday.
Do you think it is worth doing? Or are they just having a laugh?
Please help! Thanks!
