I remember filling out those forms, they're a form of humiliation. I was constantly told I'm "not looking hard enough" and "looking for work that you shouldn't be looking for"
I hate everyone in my local unemployment office, they're all there to humiliate and berate you for the smallest things.
This is exactly what I was afraid of. I cannot do the job I use to do because it burned me out that badly. So I wanted to change to a different type of work. I use to do system administration but want to do data entry. Do I need to explain this to someone?
IIt really depends, do they treat you badly everytime you walk in? If they're good, they might be able to find you someone to work with you to find something you enjoy.
I had no idea there was even an office that I needed to report to. None of my paperwork so far says I have to do that.
I mean something like a case officer? They assign you someone who is in theory, supposed to help you based on your circumstances and history of employment. In my experience they still degraded and insulted me.
Idk how it works where ever you live though. You should look into it
