Is taking a short temporary job and returning to JSA, a good way to get out of a fulltime job you do not want?

Playing the benefits system is not a good idea and will do nothing at all for his chances of getting any job 'he wants'................if you are in work then it is far easier to get another job and employers are far more likely to employ him in the job he wants.................accept any job or come off JSA if he doesn't want to work, why should he get benefits, they are there ONLY to support people who need to feed and house their family, not as a right for lazy people..................................…

It would be a good idea to accept the job. "nuff said. There are thousands upon thousands of people looking for work, but your argument about the job going to someone who wants it really sounds pretty lame.

He's unemployed and feels he *doesn't need* this job? Bloody ell. If he takes this job, but then leaves it for a contract job and tries to sign back on, they will take a dim view as they will ask why he made himself intentionally jobless by quitting the first job and then taking on a short term role. I doubt he will be able to claim for some weeks as they put sanctions on people who simply quit a job. Best thing to do, is take this job (better than £60 a week jsa clearly) and then feck off in 3 months time when he has found a better more suitable job. If there is good reason for him to refuse, such as childcare issues or transport (like needing a car but not being able to drive) THEN he may be able to refuse, but if he's simply not liking this job, well, he does need to take it and simply find another one.
