The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to reduce the time taken for job seekers to receive appointments for improving CVs.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Customers have regular appointments with their Work Coach. For those in the Intensive Work Search regime, who are the most likely to be seeking work, these are usually weekly in the first 13 weeks of their claim. Where it is identified or requested that there is a need to create or improve their CV, their Work Coach is equipped to coach the customer to create or improve their CV which can be undertaken in these regular appointments. Where the customer requires additional support to this coaching, the work coach may refer the customer to other appropriate support or provision.
