A Jobseekers Christmas Carol - to be posted shortly

Universal Jobwatch cartoon ; Virtual Jobseeker cartoons ; Job Club cartoon

Notes : Story behind the workman's boot - a classmate of mine had asked the secretary of Job Club for a pair of steel capped workman's boots for his bin man induction day and ended up being given soft plastic shoes instead. My experience of Job Club was one of overcrowding, of computer wires dangling from a hole in the corner of the room and of not enough seats for bums.
