My Universal Credit, work coach referred me to learndirect for a week long customer care course.
Yesterday I had my interview.
A lot of form filling, name, address, phone no. Email, national insurance, next of kin phone, etc etc etc.
Q... What is my ideal job?
What job I would refuse to do?
Any disabilities ???????
Around 10 Q about my style of learning. Multiple choice with 3 choices.
Formal face to face interview.
A Maths test.
Place four numbers in order from lowest to highest?
Someone spends £10 a week on travel. How much will he spend on travel in four weeks? Show all workings.
Etc
An English test.
Circle wrongly spelt words.
Add Capitals and full stops to a sentence.
Identify a verb in a sentence. They even explained that a verb is an action or doing word.
Week long course starts on Monday 29th Jan.
Greetings, and perhaps starting a new sub-Thread yet it is on topic with the Main Topic... and only one day to go...?
Concerning all that was listed in the introduction (maths, grammar, etc.), was this graded in some manner and did you "Ace" it, I should suspect? When given tests like this I simply get a sort of grumble or suspicious look, as if they are startled that I still know how to write correct English (at my age)...
My diary for next week.
Monday
Appointment with mental health employment advisor.
Appointment with job centre work coach.
Tuesday
All day with learndirect course
Thursday
Job fair at job centre. Must attend, it's part of my jobsearch agreement.
Friday

Oh, I see, this is the sinking ship scenario!
I’ve saved that post so I can read about it later on or on a different day. I’m very interested but my mind isn’t quite taking it in just now.
What it's about. See my post above from kent.ac.uk
I did ok in the group. The actual personal interview and lack of relevant experience let me down. I asked for feedback.
It is :-) I have no idea what I said or how I acted during that group interview, I just remember it going on for hours, I remember the sinking ship scenario, I remember wondering what it was all about and I remember I didn’t get the job! lol!
I did the lifeboat scenario, last year for a telephone customer support worker at the city council offices. Didn't get the job either.
It's a small world.
