It's a tough time for Job Centres right now, not really rocket science unless you have had your…read morehead stuffed inside some idyllic cloud for the last three months. I'm quite sure there will be a despondent troop of ex-Woolies employees turfed out of the Bethnal Green branch marching with solidarity to their local employment agency or nearby soup kitchen to get a spoonful of harsh reality any day now. Now I've not actually been into this Job Centre but have been reliably informed it's good for manual/retail vacancies and has a fast turnaround time for one on one consultations. Jokes aside, it's dog eat dog out there at the moment, fellow brethren, and no-one is safe. Job Centres could become second homes for many more to follow. Merry Xmas!

When i arrived i was a little bit late (10min) and there was a lot of people waiting as you would expect so i didn't really matter in the end. I was surprised to only wait 20min honestly. I don't know how job centres work here but in France it would be a nightmare and a lot of waiting. The gentleman i had my appointment with was very efficient, professional and even friendly (an other surprise for the french i am haha). All was done in 20 min or less. Impressive. He reassured me regarding all the concerns and questions i had which is appreciated. A very good experience.

It is very easy to sign up to, all you need is NI card and passport, fill out a basic form, and answer a few test questions just to make sure you have good basic numeracy and literacy skills. It took no more than a day for me to get my first job from here. They just ring you up as soon as they have some work for you, for example, to fill in for someone who has called in sick ie cafe work. To attend events where venues need more bar/waiting staff for the night, but mainly its warehouse work ie putting together information packs etc. You are given a time sheet that you have to get your employer to sign and give back to Status. Then you just have to sit back and wait for a cheque, which almost always comes through on a friday. The pay is also minimum wage no matter what job you are doing. All in all, a brilliant idea for young people to get out there and gain experience in different areas.
