WITH many Swindon people now unemployed, and having to draw job seekers’ allowance, I wonder just how many are absolutely frustrated when asked after a few months, by the employment Dept, ‘Have you proof that you have been actively looking for employment.’ I ask this question because of the many unemployed people I know who have sent in their application forms (CV) to many companies, only to get no reply from them at all.
Just why is it companies advertising a vacancy cannot have the decency to reply to the applicant., even if it is a negative reply? At least the job seeker would have proof of actively seeking work in a written form by showing the company’s reply.
So,come on you companies advertising vacancies, be polite /courteous,and considerate, give the applicant a reply.
