Meeting job search requirements

To help decide if a client is meeting the job search requirements, you will need to consider the following:

1 If the client (or partner) had the opportunity, would they:

• be available for work for 30 hours or more a week
• accept any suitable job offers within their abilities
  Note that this can include weekend work depending on the client or partner's individual circumstances
• not restrict their job search to vacancies within their own trade
• not restrict their job search to vacancies in their chosen occupation
• not move frequently from one area to another with no intention of getting a job

2 Has the client (or partner) begun to take steps to find work? For example by:

• searching newspapers and other media for vacancies
• making applications for suitable jobs
• contacting employers about vacancies
