Unemployment and Registering for Work

Posted on by • 6 Comments

unemployed_personClaimants who file for unemployment benefits may be directed to register for work with the State Employment Service, so it can assist you in finding employment. If you are not required to register, you still may seek help in finding a job from the Employment Service.

  • The One-Stop/Employment Service Office has current labor market information and provides a wide array of re-employment services free of charge.
  • Employment Service staff can refer you to job openings in your area, or in other parts of the State or country if you are willing to relocate.
  • They can refer you to various training programs.
  • If job openings in your field are limited, they can offer testing and counseling to determine other jobs you might like to do and are able to do.
  • If you believe you have special needs or considerations, such as physical needs or other considerations, which may prevent you from getting a job, they can refer you to other agencies for help with those needs.

  1. Similar experience, but I was in person. The security guard was super rude! I asked her if I was in the right place, and she rudely replied, “you’ll need to talk to her!” I made several attempts to ask if I was simply in the correct building, but she kept repeating the same thing. I asked her name, but she would not give it to me. Then a black man with a speech impediment walks over and tells me that I cannot take pictures with my cell phone after I took her picture. I asked to see the policy, but he did not produce one. Instead he pointed to a sign on the wall that read, “please silence your electronic devices.” I was very upset by this point, and I left. They are miserable people, and I praise God that I never have to see them again!
