Just show up to the interview and DO really really bad....like start twitching in the middle of the interview and when you talk, don look the guy in the eyes...focus on some other object in the room..and try as hard as you can to not blink for the entire time.

Or line up some coke on the desk while there interviewing you and offer him some

tear a piece of the application off and tell them you had to use it as a crutch and your sorry

Go out and collect applications and turn them all into the wrong places

When it asks "If you have been convicted of a felony, check yes...and list the following
charges

lol @ giving him advice on how to not get a job.

Ask for an application, only fill in your name and turn it in, call every 3 hours to ask about the status of your application

Offer sexual favors to employment

Tell them you need to bring a gun to work because "them playin hatin suckas is still tryna kill me"

tell them you are famous and have been on TV...when they ask more about it, explain you appeared on the last season of "TO CATCH A PREDATOR"......twice.

Just show up to the interview and DO really really bad....like start twitching in the middle of the interview and when you talk, DO NOT look the guy in the eyes...focus on some other object in the room..and try as hard as you can to not blink for the entire time.
If they ask you about any disabilities, tell them you are a narcotic dependent narcoleptic hypochondriac...but it doesnt affect your work at all.

Or line up some coke on the desk while theyre interviewing you and offer him some, or take off your shoe and start clipping your toenails in the middle of the interview, or scratch your criotch and smell it repeatedly...before you leave ask his opinion if it "smells like something is wrong" and put your finger under his nose


tear a piece of the application off and tell them you had to use it as a crutch and your sorry, offer him the doobie

refer to the guy interviewing you as "blood" and "homeboy"...ask if the other employees are mostly "scraps" or "chapetes"

Ask him to use the phone to check in with your parole officer during the interview, if he says ok..pretend to get into an argument with him about getting a job.

Tell him you gotta get paid under the table cause yo baby mamas been looking for you for 3 years for child support

Pick your nose while asking for an application, leave the boogetr on the app when you turn it is

Sign your name as "JAH THE ALMIGHTY ONE"

Ask to be called Peaches or Delicious during the interview

Explain you need to job to finish the botched surgery you got in a garage in Juarez Mexico

speak in 3rd person when asking for applications, and when turning them in

write a resume on toilet paper, explain thats how you smuggled it out of the honduran prison

Tell them your last job was a doorman at a crackhouse, or a security guard for Victoria Secrets Dressing room.

Go out and collect applications and turn them all into the wrong places, fill them out in crayon and sharpies, include little drawings on the side of hearts and flowers, or something more disturbing

When it asks "If you have been convicted of a felony, check yes...and list the following charges

18-913.Felonious administering of drugs
18-923.Attempted strangulation.

I've never been on unemployment but at least up here in WA state, from what friends that have been told me, you have to turn in to them proof of 3 applications you turned in each week to keep on getting your unemployment check. Don't know what the rules/laws are where you are at, I think Cali right? I'm sure they are able to by law probably just do it at random down there or something.

And probably no, not a legit reason I could think of honestly on how to get around it.
Yup, thats true...when i first moved back to Cali from WA in May of 2009 and was unemployed for 3 moths while looking for a job that's what I had to do...luckily I ended up finding something in only 3 months...

I vote for any laws to require people to actively search for work when theyre job has been eliminated. After say like 6 months you better be looking. Its cool to take a lil time off but I dont go to work and appreciate the ones who live off social programs. Look for a job. People should get drug tested too. Half my neighborhoods been on welfare for years and I'm sick of it.

This bullshit didn't happen last time, the fuck? Anyway around this?
No, there's no way around it.

They should give you a sheet to write down the jobs you look for. I think you have to look for AT LEAST 3 jobs per week(it may vary by state). You also have to do somethin' similiar when you file your claim online each week. You have to go to your local unemplyment office once a month. They'll send you a notice in the mail. If you fail to do any of this, your won't get unemployment.

Was it that big of an inconvenience to log a couple applications a week, or write down contact info off of careerbuilder or something? Now theyre probably gonna schedule you for a phone, or possibly in-person, interview to determine if you should still get a check...

stop calling me a bum, I earned this paid vacation. sucks that it only lasted a month though.

[Unemployment benefits in the United States are paid out of trust funds established by each state. These funds are funded by employer premiums. An employer's premium is determined by its past layoff/claims history and - the more people the employer has claiming unemployment over time, the higher the premiums paid. The employer pays the premium for each worker on its payroll.

On occasion, when state trust funds are depleted, the Federal government will lend money to the state to replenish the fund. However, these are loans and need to be paid back.

Although the money does not come directly from employees, economists note that it indirectly comes from the employees as the premiums paid are considered part of a company's labor costs and that company's pay these premiums by lowering the rate of pay for workers.

So you got laid off, didnt look for work, didnt make the effort to make it appear you looked for work, and now its "bullshit" theyre not handing you a check? I get you wanna hide behind the abstract notion this is "your" money, but get real dude, if you spent 10 minutes a week even trying you wouldnt have any problems. And I wouldnt be worried about bullshitting about finding a job, I'd be worried about finding a job. Its a tough time to be looking for work, and theres slim chance of something falling into your lap quickly. I was out of work for about 3 months, filled out around 115 applications, called countless places, 2 dozen phone interviews, and finally got a new job about 4 weeks ago.

Although the money does not come directly from employees
Funny you didnt highlight that part...
economists note that it indirectly comes from the employees as the premiums paid are considered part of a company's labor costs and that company's pay these premiums by lowering the rate of pay for workers. .
So if able bodied people like yourself worked, instead of collecting unemployment, then the labor cost would be less and the rest of us would get paid more. Thanks again, bud.
