Great start to the day. Our fake application forms weren't good enough so we all have to do them again. I just can't get enough of writing my own name. I don't think I actually handed my first one in, but I get the impression I'd have to do it again anyway, they need to fill in the time somehow.
After break, we have equal opportunities and diversity. Start with a strange exercise where we are given a scenario about a plane crash and we have to decide who gets to go in the life raft. No explanation about the point of this.
At least in the afternoon I am left alone to get on with my jobsearch. One more day!

Yes I think a few of us have done these exercises and agree they are useless. I posted when I was put through it myself at http://aspiejobblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/easing-us-back-in-youve-got-to-be.html and about a year later found the blog at http://intensiveactivity.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/ymca-training-activities-exposed/
The provider I was with claimed this was "to make the point about making people sell themselves as more deserving to be saved than the others, on a par with selling themselves in an interview as better than other potential applicants for the job." Needless to say though I still wasn't impressed.
