Today, I was dismissed from my job at an unemployment agency. In order to receive financial support from the government I need to be cooperating with a job service provider. They paired me up with the same place I was just fired from. FML

Surely you can be assigned to a different one if you tell them the situation.

Isn't there another place around you can apply for the help? Also apply around maybe that will work to your favor

Why were you "fired" in the first place? Is it synonymous with "laid off" in Australia? I feel like we don't know the full story, here.

Call whoever paired you and tell them. Or go to a different one and explain your situation. Good luck.

Just look at it this way. They hired you, they fired you, now they're helping you. Forget the embarrassment, get a new job which I'm sure will be better, and move on. Good luck.

Well since you were working there, I'm sure you know how to put them through absolute hell. Ever seen the Fawlty Towers episode Waldorf Salad? Remember the end? There's your cue!

Uh yeah, you can request a different one - over the phone when they do the 'interview'. I know because I was on the dole once. Cough. It's funny becuase the people who work for centrelink have no will to live.
