The Department of Work & Pensions

peter0003

Dear All,

           I am here again asking for advise, the Department of Work & Pension have recorded that I have been claiming benefit for 2 years and being unemployed for time.  And are now trying to get rid of me by asking me to sign on each day of the week at one part of the day, everyday ie 11.10am which is a pain as i would like to do voluntary work at the sametime. 

            I have been working casually  for a car parking company at sporting events and do find this boring at times  but it brings some cash in.  I just wanted to know if when I am filling in a job application should I mention at I was fired for gross misconduct or makeup something else.  I have contacted you before about this subject, but wasn't sure about the answer. 

            I can tell you that  when I do fill in an application & put in why i left jessops I'm not been asked to an interview, so I am thinking of telling the truth and mention the gross misconduct and if they ask the reason I will tell them. The truth is that  on Feb 2011 I was fired for gross misconduct for being rude to a member of the public. And the other main season was that I was honest and told them that believed that I maybe suffing from ASD & they" being HR dept: of jessops photo centre"   didn't want somone like me working for them.   All of my family & friends have told me not to mention any of this to the new employers but as I'm not doing so, it  is not getting me employed.  

Can anyone helpto answer this question for  me

    quote" gross misconduct"... is a social construct of rejection and the purpose of a CV or application is too discount people from the job by self declaration of not suitable. So if you put that on the form, you have no chance of getting the job. How about this, more likely, YOU DIDN'T get fired for gross misconduct, you were made redundant because they were cutting costs in the recession probably, that was just excuse to cut there pay role. Don't take there view, there *** literally, there could be other reasons for the making you redundant, not fired, not sacked,, REDUNDANT. it happens to thousands of people each day, redundancy is quite normal for being in employment. You have to stop giving yourself a hardtime or labelling the situation as gross misconduct.

    If anything, tell them all the jobs you had where absolutely brilliant ! HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY ! Don't put to much detail down on the form or CV, just mirror what they are looking for, you are an excellent worker etc etc bullshite, bullshite, etc.. Basically application forms and CV are there to trip you up by candidate comparison discounting people by looking for NEGATIVES ON THERE APPLICATION OR CV. I go on here, but keep it brief, clear and professional.
