6 weeks so far but it seems to depend who you get to report to at the Job Centre as to how happy there are with your efforts during the previous couple of weeks jobseeking. The one I saw 2 weeks ago was a right female dog (I'm assuming that the 5 letter word that I would have used might get reported). And someone (a stranger) at a jobseekers centre that I attend did say the other week that his money had been stopped 3 times this year because it was decided that he hadn't made a sufficient effort.
I was made redundant on 8th august, though paid up untilthe 19th, but the jobcentre said i could claim from the 9th cos my place of work had gone, even though i was paid up to the 19th, they said that pay was monies owing. so i registered online on sunday 9th, the jobcentre rang me at home on the tuesday and took the details, then gave me an appointment at the jobcentre to actually register. my official finish date was still the 19th august and on 20th august i accepted a job to start 1st october, better job too, and i can claim jsa right up til i start. I applied for 20 jobs and had 4 interviews and am still getting calls to interviews, but i accepted this job cos it sounds ideal. i have an interview on the 29th for a shoe shop managers job and i am going to go to it just out of curiosity.
there are loads of jobs oput there in retail, the key is to register with dedicated job sites that cater for your occupation, i am enrolled with 4 retail sites and that is why i have had such success.
To be honest though, i have loved being at home these last few weeks, hiow i ever found time to work fukl time i just don't know! keep doping what you are doing, use the internet job sites as much as possible, that's where you'll find a job cos that's where the firms advertise, the job centre search thing is rubbish. good luck.

Do as Dot says at least on line it will be done.
Our Job Centre is hilarous,I was hobbling on 2 crutches after having 2 tumours removed from my spine and having chemo and radium. The job centre advised me (as I told them I couldn't sit at a computer all day)I should get a job as a kitchen porter. This came from the screening department which I later found out to be a computer programme where all the info is fed in and the jobs available are printed out. When I complained that I could hardly stand up the girl said that's what it says.
I got the manager to come in and he said you may have to change your occupation from kitchen porter as I don't think you could manage to do that now. I said your staff are telling me I shoudl me a kitchen porter, have you read my form what kitchen porter do you know who earns that kind of money.
I found a job through a site and to be honest I work as and when I want/feel like. (Now I've found out I have enough contributions for a pension)
There are jobs out there but you have to know where to look and I guess it's different in every industry.
If anyone saw that tv prog about the Shaw Trust all the staff on there seemed to be interested in was getting a bonus if they got so many people back to work.They didn't seem that bothered whether the job was suitable or some cases whether it was permanent.
