I've never had to do this, but does the Unemployment office in Barking
really send people off to jobs in Heathrow? Don't they just have a list
of "local" jobs

They don't list jobs much themselves (that was the bricks and mortar model
a generation ago),

Yes I know :-)

but I didn't know whether they let you pick your own jobs from the online
list or whether they pick some for you

they police the process whereby people search a bunch of third party
jobsites to look for jobs and then report back once a fortnight[1]. And
get cross if people aren't diligent enough.

based upon quantity

AIUI, one could easily decide not to look too far in a certain direction if
there was enough stuff in the other, easier to drive to, direction
