I signed on a couple of weeks ago and this morning I received my first giro. I've just found out that I've been accepted for a job that isn't due to start until mid-December. Under the terms of my JSA agreement I'm supposed to apply for a handful of jobs every week but as I'm only available to work for the next ~10 weeks it's difficult to find any work. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do in this situation?
Continue applying for jobs anyway, it doesnt say you have to have a realistic hope of getting them or that you have to take one if offered to you if it is unsuitable.
It's not unheard of that this sort of arrangement falls through. Keep applying and claiming until you start.
