Have you been actively trying to find work? Ahem, say MPs

March 22, 2010

Anyone who has experienced a period of unemployment will know that you are obliged by the Jobcentre to prove that you have been trying to find work when you go to sign on (not that Guru has ever been in this situation of course, merely taking the odd sabbatical).

You could be forgiven for believing, therefore, that leveraging your present position to seek employment in the future when you know that you are going to be out of a job soon would also be a winner.

Doesn't seem to have worked for Stephen Byers, Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt though eh?

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
