If you are receiving unemployment, and the State tells you to go to a place so they can help you find employment...you MUST go!

Simple as that.

Can I assume that the State is telling you this?

 

[Adam Knows]

from what i understand, yes you have to go. but why would you not want to go if someone's going to help you get a job???

..........?

 

[ethnocentric]

huh?

 

[azthefirm]

yes damn

 

[azthefirm]

my work comes from a union hall...not from them great

 

[histick]

Regardless of any Union affiliations, if a job comes up through the unemployment agency and you decline, your benefits will cease. Doesn't matter if the job is union or not. You would need a really good reason to decline a job. Remember, they are looking for a reason NOT to give those benefits.

Just go ahead and attend, you have nothing to lose but your unemployment.

ok so if they offer me a job i have to take it?

 

[onslaught4854]

Do you even want a job because you coming on here asking this question makes it seem like you just wanna sit on your ass all day.

No you most likely don't have to take it, you just to have to show them that you're making a attempt to get a job, unemployment benefits can be rejected if the government doesn't think you're putting enough effort into getting a job.

Here in Florida you need to apply for at least 2 jobs a week (I think so but it's something like that) I don't know how it is in your state.

 

[azthefirm]

ok i been layed off for 2 weeks...what should i tell them

Just head down there and start the process of looking for a job, sign up and everything, once your done you'll probably get a recruiter or a counselor to work with you and call you if he/she has any job matches for you.

You gotta show them you want a job or else they'll take away your unemployment.

Where do you live?

in Missouri, you go to an office with a computer lab, you sign in, look for a job on some online search engine, and you leave. they are not gonna offer you a plumber job and expect you to take it. just go.

Give this man a star at least for asking.

in some states, you have to go to a location every month and use their computer to continue getting benefits,,, in most cases it takes 5 minutes
