We were expected to write three speculative letters each day and each had to be personal to the addressee. Two of us in the jobclub learned how to mail-merge and spent the days when we are not there getting lists of contacts and potential employers. By sending off somewhere around 50 letters a session, we were costing the contractor money, so we had to go. Unless there is an incentive to find work and an incetive for the jobclub to encourage its members to find work, then the whole system will be stuffed.UK Frednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-87608616536402469342011-03-15T05:34:48.014+00:002011-03-15T05:34:48.014+00:00"Hang on, aren't people already getting t...<i>"Hang on, aren't people already getting their benefit cuts if they refuse to actively look for work?
