Hi again,
I also think I pointed out, to both Louse Harpur, (from NCS), and Personal Advisor Sarah.
That I thought that to just be at the Job-fair, (in St. George's Hall), on 4/7, for half an hour, (from 1.30 PM to 2 PM).
Would be a bit little time.
Because, (like I think I explained, to both Louise, (in the group-meeting), and to Sarah, (because she wanted to have a meeting with me, right after Louise's group-meeting, on 3/7).
I said to both Sarah and Louise, (I think), on 3/7, that I thought that only half an hour, would be a bit short time, to look at all the stands, at the job-fair.
Because St. George's Hall is a big hall.
And I was at a job-fair there, right after I became unemployed, in 2008.
And from then I remembered that it was a lot of stands there and that I had to give my CV, to three organisations.
When I explained about this, then Sarah and/or Louise should have explained to me, that the appointment at St. George's Hall, was about a CV work-shop, that NCS had, in one of the 'side-rooms' there, at 1.30 PM.
I gave the letter, to a woman, at St. George's Hall.
She just told me to go in there.
And I thought that was a bit strange, because I thought I should register somewhere.
So I asked a guy, who stood by the information-stand.
And he said I didn't have to register, because I had given the letter, to the woman, by the enterence-door.
(This was a quite well-built guy, in a white shirt I think, in his 40's, I think).
And then it was just a coincident, that I got on the CV work-shop, because I hear on the speakers, in the hall, that it was a CV work-shop, at 1.30, (with NCS).
And then, they changed the work-shop, to face-to-face chats, because there were so few people, who wanted to look at the CV work-shop, Sue told me.
Sue had very bad breath, by the way, I think.
I remember I was glad to walk out of the small 'lecture-room' there.
Because then I didn't have to smell Sue's bad breath, (which she intentionally blew straight in my face, it seemed to me, for some reason).
Just as a third update.
They, (NCS), informed in a 'mute' way about the CV work-shop meeting being canceled, by the way.
So I didn't understand what was going on untill Sue told me.
So this was also a bit strange perhaps.
Sorry that it gets a lot of e-mails.
Sorry that it gets a lot of e-mails.
But there has been a lot of strange problems, to do with this new Jobcentre regime, I think.
But sorry anyway, if I send a lot of e-mails.
Best regards,

Hi again,
now I remember how it was.
Personal Advisor Sarah, (at the Jobcentre), didn't want to give me the letter, for the meeting, on Thursday, when the apointment was set up.
Becaus she 'didn't want to confuse the issue', like she said, (in of the many meetings, last week).
So Sarah forgot about the letter.
And I got tired of getting a letter in the afternoon, on Wednesday, (from NCS).
And got the time wrong.
Sarah has also earlier said that she was going to give me her e-mail-address, but has then forgotten about that again, in the same meeting.
(So I have never gotten her e-mail-address.
Or her last-name).
So Personal Advisor Sarah is perhaps a bit stressed, I think.
And I think she set me up on twice as many meetings, as the other people, on this new regime, like the Jobcentre calls it.
And I've also been thinking a bit about the New Enterprise Allowance, that Sarah printed out some information for me, to read, on Monday, (I think it was).
So I have perhaps been a bit unfocused about the meetings, because I have been thinking about the New Enterprise Allowance.
And if it would result in new problems with the Council and my Housing Benefit and Council Tax-allowance.
If I started on the New Enterprise Allowance-programme, with my web-shop.
My web-shop isn't a new business eighter, so I'm not sure if that programme is meant for businesses that has been going, (in small scale, but anyway), for a couple of years.
I also have to re-write my CV, because Sue, from NCS, told me at the Job-fair, in St. George's Hall, to write one CV for each field, that apply for jobs within.
And Louse told me to change the way I did my job-search.
(She wanted me to log my activities, on the Universal Jobmatch.
Which is something new, that has started, after I became unemployed, in 2008.
So it has been a lot of new stuff, to think about, for me.
And the letter I got on Wednesday night, didn't make sense to me.
1. Why did I get that letter in the evening?
2. Why did they write that a group-session was a 'face to face'-meeting, etc?
2. Why did they write that a group-session was a 'face to face'-meeting, etc?
(Like I've explained about, in the first meeting).
Just as an update.

Hi,
yesterday I went out at 5 PM, and I went to the post-office and Asda.
And I got home a couple of hours later.
And then I found your letter, that someone had put through my door.
Something must have been wrong, since I got the letter, after 5 PM, yesterday, (I think).
And when I got home, I got to pre-occupied with this mentioned letter.
Because it didn't make sense, I think.
So I got a bit worn-out by it.
(Or puzzled/dozed).
So I got the time wrong, for todays meeting.
Like I wrote in yesterdays e-mail:
I usually put the meeting-letter, in my wallet, the night before the meeting, and set my alarm-clock.
But I didn't have a letter, yesterday evening.
So I got the time wrong.
I was a bit tired and remembered the time wrong.
So I put my alarm-clock on 11 AM, since I thought the meeting was at 12.45 PM.
Then I could leave my address at 12 noon, and be at the Jobcentre in Aintree, at around 12.40 PM.
But when I got there, I only got to have my second meeting.
Carla told me I was late for the NCS-meeting.
(Which I didn't have a letter for).
I wonder if it's bit much with two meetings a day, that you sometimes put me on now.
Because it gets like meetings all the time now, I think.
So I got one meeting-time wrong now.
And also you don't give me letters, for all meetings.
And sometimes the letters doesn't explain what to do, in the meetings.
So it just gets a mess, I think.
Also, Sarah called me at 10 AM today, from a funural, and told me my meeting was with Carla today.
But I was sleeping at 10 AM, so she woke me up, so I was a bit dozed.
So I'm not sure if Sarah said that the meeting was at 11.45 or 12.45.
But I'm going to discuss what happened with Sarah in the next appoinment I have with her, at 17/7.
Sorry about the problems with this.
I hope I don't get a sanction, because I think this wasn't only my fault.
The Jobcentre and the NCS have made all these mentioned meetings to a mess, I think.
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
I'm refering to your letter from 3/7 which I recieved in the post today.
You write that we had a face to face-meeting at 3/7.
But that was a group-session.
You write that I had a follow up-meeting on 4/7.
But on 4/7 I was sent by Personal Advisor Sarah to go to the job fair in St. George's Hall.
And I was just told to look at the stands there, by her.
It was just a coincident that I went to your CV job-shop-meeting at 1.30 PM, on 4/7, in St. George's Hall, and spoke with Sue there.
You told me the face to face-meeting would be tomorrow, (11/7), 11.45 with Pamela.
So this is a bit messed up, I think.
I also send a copy e-mail to the Jobcentre, (so that they can send it to Personal Advisor Sarah).
I also send a copy e-mail to the Jobcentre, (so that they can send it to Personal Advisor Sarah).
I haven't gotten a letter from you, regarding the meeting, tomorrow.
On the letter, from 4/7, it said I should report to Deborah Ainsworth, in St. Georges Hall.
But when I went into the hall, then they just took the letter, and told me to go in there.
This is a very big hall.
I was not informed that I was supposed to go to a meeting there.
I just accedentely heard on the speakers, that NCS had a CV work-shop there, at 1.30 PM.
(Because I was there a bit early).
And then I spoke with Sue there about my CV.
Poor information about this meeting, I think.
Jobseekers risk losing their allowance and with information like this, it's a scandal I think.
It isn't strange that Jobseekers lose their allowance when they get poor information, like this.
I was just told to go there, to have a look, and see if I found something interesting, by Sarah.
And I told you in the group-session, that it was a lot of manditory stuff, the last time I was there.
And I wondered why it wasn't this time.
You have to write on the letter, that it's a CV work-shop, and not just a job fair.
Or else people don't understand.
Was this to 'pull my leg', I'm wondering here.
