unemployment
to get unemployment, you're supposed to think of job searching as your full-time job - at least 30 hours a week. i am sorry, but even if it wasn't me doing this, i would still say, what the heck are you supposed to be doing while job hunting to possibly make it take up 6 hours a day? that's ludicrous. no, i don't think people should get the money to sit on their bums, but honestly? 6 hours a day? i can make it a goal to do 4. maybe if i had to i could stretch it to 5. but seriously? 6 hours a day?

OH wow i knew there were job searching requirements but I didn't know it was supposed to be 30 hrs a week!!!! i heard that they randomly call to check on you but i am not sure how certain they can be about your efforts, either. Also, i know someone who does HR who seems to have to go through resumes and interviews for people who don't seem to really want the job... so i guess that's the kind of thing the unemployment people ask, "where have you applied?" and then they can follow up...
:: sigh ::
yeah, my mom said she would get lots of calls from people asking if we were hiring, more than likely knowing we weren't, so they could tell unemployment that they called so many people
Can part of that time include thinking hard about it? Because I feel like that alone is the hardest part!
Bureaucracy...
Well, it is probably like six office hours...you know, take a 20 minute break every 30 minutes...
Btw, I am reading all of your posts, I'm just too tired to respond to them with anything other than a :-), so that is the response for all of them... unless it should be :-(, then fill in the blank there...
i think they just say that because they want you to put in a real effort to find a job.
hm - :D
i think if i'm checking fb for responses to my plea for help in job hunting, that counts as job-searching time
4.5 hrs today, baby. (including the half hour in which i talked with hobbitsister, because we did mention job hunting and how to go about it at one point.)
hey, if execs can consider a meal in which they mention work in passing as a "business lunch", i think you can count that phone call. we talked about it rather extensively.
