Jobseekers offered free spray tans and makeovers to boost confidence | Metro.co.uk
Should go on Lynne's thread :-D

I would think that getting them a voluntary position or a few days work experience would be better as most people seem to get told they don't have enough experience to do the jobs they are applying for.
Sadly that is pretty much spot on.I got no skills, but I got me a crackin tan. Can I have a job?
I worked out the solution to the employment problems ages ago, reduce tax's business's have to pay, BUT... The savings must go on employing someone new permanently. That or giving one day where all tax, vat etc is off, it will make more people shop, people get a reduced price and the shops earn that bit more so they can afford to employ someone xoxo
It is not tax payer money being spent, it is not a government thing, it is a charity offering the treatments.
It is a charity in Aberdare who have teamed up with the jobcentre and are offering to help those who have actually been trying to get employment (only those who have been attending interviews but not getting the jobs). They believe that by giving the jobseeker a make over or a spray tan it will imporve their self esteem and make them feel more confident in an interview.
I don't think it is the best way to help people back into work but I do have to say that the charity is at least making some effort and is trying to help those who are wanting to work. They offer help and advice about other things as well as the make over and free tan - cv writing, relaxation (not to be stressed in the interview), nutrition and personal appearance.
The charity does not offer the free tan and make over to just anyone who is unemployed, they do have to be making an effort to find work before they can be refered to the charity.
I'm sure there are better things charities can spend their money on.
And I'll bet your bottom dollar the appointment book will be full Friday & Saturday!
