Itpro, when i said i wanted to go on a plastering course it was with a view to add it to my joinery experience so it would open a few more avenues and not a total career change cos i was sick of joinery. I didnt want a C&G in it, or plumbing, just a quick short course with at best a college certificate to prove i have SOME knowledge and experience.
Heres a description of a job, many i applied for read like this.....they all wanted multi-skilled

Now itpro, i want your honestest reply here without going off to google it first and making out you knew all about it.....
Have YOU ever heard of the 'Advisor discretionary fund', yes or no?
Now go and google it and see the amount of JSA claimants who should of been entitled to it that weren't even told it exsists, i didn't know and only found out once i was working.
Like i said above, im getting MORE financial help now than what i was getting when i was job seeking and needed every penny.
