#RealTime information displays just showing a company logo are completely useless for passengers. This sign in #Kemptown #Brighton hasn't worked for months, along with *many* others in the city. Wonder how long it'll be before @brighton-hove.gov.uk manages to fix them?

Having a phone is crucial for job searching, scheduling interviews, and staying connected with important contacts. For many, a "free phone" can be the game-changer between feeling stuck and landing a job opportunity. Don't underestimate the power of staying connected! #JobSearch #StayConnected
