Editor’s note: This is another one of the series of posts by Alex charting his way out of the rut of unemployment. Well it is back to the grindstone of filling time. After two weeks wilfully participating in a great work-based training course it is now down to myself alone…
Editor’s note: This is another post by Alex – this time as an exception it is on Monday. He is still keeping the Friday slot on TMP. I have now finished the two week work-based training course conducted by ICM (Institute of Customer Management), and if I’m honest I’m…
Editor’s note: This Friday we continue to follow Alex on his way to employment. With the first week of his training over, he discovered unexpected side(s) to himself; you, our dear readers, will learn whether a Jaffa cake is a cake or a biscuit – as I’ve said before you…
Editor’s Note: This is another post by Alex; this week he shares some encouraging news – he has been referred to a training course which is likely to get him a job interview. Let us wish him luck! This week’s entry will concentrate on a more positive outlook from a…

Editor’s note: Today I am very happy to introduce to you a new writer for The Money Principle. This is Alex’s first article and I hope you find it informative and useful. There are many joyful surprises that come to light for jobseeker’s claimants in the UK, if you are…

Employers have new duties to comply with starting from October 2012. Changes have been made to the UK pension legislation, introducing auto enrolment. This is a new scheme which involves the employer automatically enrolling their employees into a pension scheme which both employer and employee contribute to. There are certain…
