    I was just wondering, I've just finished college and am currently looking for work. Is it possible to claim dole while you search for a new job and are just out of full time education? I've worked for about 2 and a half years in both full time and part time work already.

    Yes, if you are finished your full time course of study

    You can claim jobseekers allowance when finished college and looking for work. Make sure to have a letter from your college stating what date you finished your course, because they wont process your claim without it.
