I don't qualify for JSA but my ex husband is claiming that I have not been able to secure a job because I'm lazy.
In the last 6 months have visited the job centre in 3-4 occasions, visited career counselors twice, search for jobs in the internet and local sites at least 3 times a week. Have submitted around 20 very good and extensively researched applications over the last 6 months (carefully adapting Cv and intro letter for each of them). Managed a few interviews but as it seems there are so many of us unemployed,getting short listed for interviews is a monumental task even when the job description seems to be written with you in mind.
Is this a good number of applications? would the job centre consider this reasonable?
Just wondering because my filthy rich ex husband is trying to reduce to an absolute minimum his maintenance payments and put the house DS and I live in for sale because according to him, I'm not making enough efforts to be financially independant.
Is he right?
