Does anyone here have experence with the restart scheme?

I've been on several restart schemes in the past, they change all the time.

They are run by private companies and you have to attend appointments with them in addition to job centre appointments. 

They are run to make a profit so they try to keep their own costs down by hiring cheap offices in cheap buildings and my experience was that despite them promising to refund my travel expenses to their appointments, they often found an excuse not to pay.

They rewrite your cv and help you with advice on what jobs to look for. Main purpose is to get people off benefits by any means necessary.

They are kind of stuffed if they are hoping to rewrite my cv to get me a zero hours contract style burger fliping job. My last 3 jobs were all very technical and profesional. No way to 'sell' them as something that would look atractive to someone looking for a shelf stacker. Plus they have the PhD on my cv to consider. I'm reminded of terry pratchet who wrote “Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.”

Only in my case they can't even push me towards teaching because of the lack of a teaching qualification.
