Reply to comment by Pa17325 in For unemployment compensation, do I HAVE to use career link or can I somehow show my dozens of indeed applications and couple interviews over the last 2 weeks by AnonCuriosities

They do their best but I never found them all that helpful. I feel like the commonwealth is making them as much enforcers of UC as they are employment counselors. I went there during the 2008 recession after just finishing college and the guy told me I was “unemployable” because I couldn’t do construction or any kind of hard, repetitive manual labor.

I have never, not once in 15 years, had one applicant for the jobs we posted on career link.

In the late 90’s/early 2000’s there were places around here that only did applications (paper) through careerlink. I guess they figured it was better than having people showing up in their offices. I guess now people figure most bigger places have a link right on the website. I haven’t used careerlink since 2008 but I don’t think I ever got a call from somewhere that I put the app in through them so I stopped using it.
