A4e Gateway Course, Day 1, Induction

Arrive late, due to morning being wasted by JobCentre Advisor. On arrival, I am handed a basic numeracy test and told I have half an hour until tea break. I have a scientific degree & doctorate! Quite bemused by this personally tailored approach to helping me that my New Deal Bully described. Very glad when tea break finally arrives. And what useful thing comes for the final part of the afternoon? What thing that will help me get a job that I just hadn't thought of before? A general knowledge quiz! Now that is thinking outside of the box! One whole day wasted where the jobcentre is actively stopping me looking for jobs!
