In California there’s a checkbox for ‘Did you look for work?’ If you check it, you have to fill in a form for at least one place you looked for work. I doubt they verify the information. I bet it’s used to pin people for whom they want to deny benefits.

But at least the checkbox is there.

Odd that California would have it.

Probably a holdover from when they were a red state.

Washington has you apply for three jobs a week.

Cut ALL the welfare. Stop breeding defective humans only to prolong and expand their eventual suffering.

In Ohio, you are required to set up an account via OhioMeansJobs.com and upload a resume and profile.

It’s really a joke because it’s just a monster.com outlet, still subscribes to the old guidance counselor school of job searching, and doesn’t see much use.

I got an account because monster mirrored my main account to it, and I think I’ve had 3 contacts from it all the years it’s existed.

Pennsylvania uses indeed.com for similar, although I’m not sure what the resume requirements are.

The big job boards are a lot of garbage and spam, Indians have overrun them.

What is that?

Basically where someone give you a questionnaire and then tries to match your answers with "You may be interested in this type of job!"

It's trying to pigeonhole you into a certain area based on rigid categories. Kind of like saying "Well, you can get a job working with computers!" Yeah, that was good in the 1970s, not now.

Gotcha. I've done those a few times, I did get some interesting suggestions out of it.

I can see how quickly they'd go out of date though, and I doubt one run by the government is any use.

Alaska used to require a work skill profile for unemployment benefits. This was 15 years ago or more.. not sure if it’s still like that. I never received a work interview through that system when I attempted to utilize it for job placement. I’ve always thought state unemployment has some federal mandates so they’ve probably done away with this requirement.

Ohio did kind of the same back when it was paper, you had to register with the system and if a job matched your profile you'd get a paper letter with a reference number on it, and a particular agent you had to call - if that person was on vacation then you couldn't find out what they wanted because no other person would be able to look up that reference number. It was stupid as all get out and I wonder how it even worked.

I received one letter in the 10 or so years I was in that system, and it was a local job that had a hard time finding people because it was a shit job with shit pay at a company where everyone literally looked like sad zombies. (Interviewed there once, noped the f out ASAP.)

Yeah I really want to be forced to accept a job paying 12 dollars an hour because some cocksucker offers me a job and I lose benefits if I refuse. I had someone offer me half of the salary in private sector as what a state employee makes for the identical job title, performing the same work, for the same clients. And I had to accept. Then they also pulled the 'probabtionary wage' bullshit. Absolute scam.

Unless they changed it, in my state every week you had to submit a list of all the places you applied at. This was quite some years ago when I had just gotten out of the military and hadn't found a new job yet, but I doubt it has changed significantly.

I would assume the reason they don't require you to have a resume hanging out online is the vast majority of people on unemployment aren't really expected to apply for the kind of jobs that require a resume. Getting a job at McDonalds doesn't exactly require one (or it shouldn't). Those few that are actually qualified for jobs not at the bottom of society either a) are not very good at their jobs or b) very rare.

And then people could do like the libtards to trying to get businesses in trouble, call people with their resumes up and offer jobs. When they refuse, report them and provide a recording of the call.

A friend of mine had a relative who was required to fill out a CV because they wanted him off the dole. He was pissed off so he wrote it in crayon with spelling mistakes and backwards letters. Suffice to say he didn't get any offers and they didn't ask again.

A better solution would be just not to have state welfare. Private income insurance used to work better.

You expect a nigger to write a resume?

They can't even get ID's.

They WANT the middle class to become poor and depressed. They WANT businesses to go under. All to build more dependency to Aunt Sam.

Because the government has no right to require you to have an internet connection? I can't believe that I have to answer this.

Niggers can’t be asked to set up a work profile through the phone system or at a job center workstation. Niggers also cannot fill out a job form by hand and mail it to the job center where some other less retarded nigger inputs the data. Can’t believe I have to answer this.

In California there are no longer any unemployment offices open to the public. You must interview electronically, either by voice or data connection. Once you have made application you can elect to receive and send forms by mail.
