I’m a recent college grad with a degree in graphic design, you see I do have a job, but it’s only seasonal. I work for a private leasing company at Six Flags, and it doesn’t offer any benefits. I’m going to the Career Center tomorrow morning for two workshops on resume and interview tips; their services are free since it’s through the state. They told me that they only help people more intensely to find a job in their field if they qualify for unemployment. I wonder if I can file for seasonal unemployment? I’m afraid to try to file unemployment cause my boss might get pissed off at me, retaliate against me, and won’t let me come back to work at Six Flags next year if I had to; that was my back up plan. You see I thought about doing seasonal work at a grocery store my friend works at, but I’m scared that they’ll see me as overqualified; they start people out at $7/hour; I make $9/hours and have a bachelors degree, so they might see as overeducated or that I might get bored; not to sound cocky or anything here, but I had that happen to me before. About two months ago I applied at the grocery store and got a call back a few days later for an interview. I told them I wasn’t really interested. I only applied to make my friend happy. The lady who called me said if I change my mind, then I can call the HR department back. I even started my own business through Amway that involves multi-level marketing; it’s about three weeks old, so I’m self-employed, and me and my business buddies are going to Kansas City for a conference; I’m hoping to meet some graphic design networks up there, and jump start my business doing freelance work on the side. I just don’t know what’s gonna happen to me now. Can I still file for an unemployment claim from November through April if I plan to go back to work at the park next year?
um…first two answers sound too good to be true, sorry.
