“New Site Is Terrible”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Cheatedseeker on 04/12/2012

The new Job Centre website is beyond bad. Job locations are non specific, rather than stating Manchester jobs are listed as NW (Northwest) which is no where near detailed enough. There are no wage amounts so you have no idea how much you will be paid. The results returned from searches are about 50% less than they were before the change and the filter is completely useless. Ultimately it's nothing more than a way for the Job Centre to monitor your activity on the site and then penalise you for not using it often enough when in reality most jobseekers have started to use other job sites like retailchoice and fish4jobs because they are superior. Absolutely disgraceful, I'm on jobseekers at the minute and desperately trying to get off the damn thing because I'm sick of being made to feel like everything I say has to be proven, they treat you like you're a compulsive liar! Now thanks to this change I can't use their site properly to job search.


I hear they paid over a million pounds to have the new site designed, here's an idea, give me the money and I'll set up a site ten times better than the one they have that is user friendly and helps people find employment. I don't know what idiot has set up the new site but that guy should be in my place because he clearly has no idea what he's doing!
