In California, can someone still collect Unemployment benfits if he works part-time?
It would have been better to use the time to find a full time job and collect the unemployment. You will get less money now, if any at all. Also, now if you quit, you will miss out on some unemployment. The best thing to do is to apply and find out what they say…we can say anything but it is the unemployment office who makes the decisions. Good luck. No shame to unemployment. Gives you time to find a good full time job. If this part time doesn’t work out, get your unemployment and then look for a great job. If you then need something until you get a good job, use the Employment Companies such as Manpower. You can work at many places and know what you like, and they can watch you and perhaps hire you on full time. When I worked for Occidental, they hired me after I worked at Manpower. Some businesses don’t like the hiring process and lazily use Manpower type of agencies to do their screening. Good luck.
