Hi, I have recently become unemployed after leaving my job (stressful environment / manager was a bully). I've only been out of work for just over a month now and applying for lots of jobs. I'm not fussy so will take on anything just to pay the bills. I'm hoping I can start a course with OU soon anyway but still need work.
I had an appointment booked last week which was cancelled the day before and rearranged for today (they don't check with you first, just give you the time and date via text message). Bit annoying but oh well. Arrived at my appointment today. Work coach is quite young, only a few years older than myself I would say. He seemed quite blasé about everything, just slumped in his chair. I mentioned in chat that I had an appointment arranged for last week but it was cancelled and his response was "oh yeah that was with me but I called in sick, I couldn't be bothered to come in". 
.
He also asked me what jobs I'd applied for recently, I gave him some examples, one being a local nursery (worked in a nursery a few years ago so have plenty of experience). His response was "lots of people are applying for that one, don't get your hopes up" 
. I'm not the type to complain, but AIBU in thinking his attitude is awful? Surely he should be encouraging, positive etc. I hope it's not just me, but I've noticed how some job centre staff look down on unemployed people/job seekers. Maybe they should start looking at their own staff.
