I signed on today, well I registered with the Job centre. I should get my dole money next Wednesday, that's £55 to spend on fags, booze and betting. Plus they'll pay my rent which surprised me. I may not need to get a job for a very long time. The trick is to keep applying for jobs, to show good faith but fail to get them, as in Train Spotting. The Renton option: I could pretend to be a junkie which would be quite hard considering I've been in work for 3 years. The Spud option, take some speed and turn up to interviews spangled . My only real hope of being able to continue to sign on and avoid jobs is to go for jobs that I am either far too qualified for or for those (the majority) that I don't have a hope in hell in landing. There was one job that I thought I'd be particularly suited for - Afro-Caribbean hairdresser.
The good news is that if you have been made redundant you are entitled to Job Seeker's Allowance and Housing Benefit. Even if you been given £100k, you can still claim because redundancy payments are classed as savings:
