Hello Everyone,

... yes, so strange..... in some parts of the country you have to attend an interview (esp London), whereas in other areas you can apply on-line / postal.

If they're gonna be strict about issuing NI numbers, than surely all should attend an interview ?

We called the job center but she said to go there and bring the documents she needed. And it took time for her to fill up the forms and photocopied all my documents.
