    Default Re: Will Unemployment Find Out if I Turned Down an Interview

    You will not get in trouble because you have not received a job offer, because employers do not contact the UI office to tell them who did and did not come in for interviews, and because you are not required to apply for every possible job regardless. If you had attended the interview, been offered a job and refused it, that would be one thing, but not applying for a job because it's too far away isn't even on that same spectrum. There's no guarantee even if you did go to the interview that you'd be offered the job. The UI office will never know you turned down the interview unless you tell them, which you are not required to do.

    Relax.

    Well, the problem is, I did "apply" for the job by sending my resume to the job recruiter. The job listing didn't name the company and it flat out lied about the location. So info was really lacking. But I felt I had some of the qualifications for it. The recruiter called me and asked if we could have a meeting and I agreed. That's when he told me about the company and the location and I realized I didn't want the interview. So I'm worried if UI calls this person to see if I actually sent my resume, he might say yes, but she turned down an interview.

    Please actually read cbg's post. You will find it quite helpful.

    UI is not going to call any company at all to see if you sent in a resume. Where did you get the idea that they do that?

    @eerelations: I did read it. I don't know what you are saying that I missed in his post. He mentioned I wasn't required to apply for every job. But my point was that I did apply to it by sending my resume.

    @cbg: Well, in my state, you have to do a review every 6 weeks and give them a list of all the places that you have applied to. I was told they do check up on these to make sure you have actually sent your resumes out. My concern was, that if they contacted this one that I have been talking about, that the person would say yes she sent it but she turned down an interview. If I am mistaken, that's fine. But that is what I was told at the UI office.

    Most if not all states require that you keep a record of your job contacts. However, in my experience, it is rare that they follow up with the contacts unless there is a real reason to believe that the contacts have been falsified. To check each contact listed would place a serious burden on the employers, who may be receiving literally hundreds of resumes for each opening.

    There are occasional random audits, but the odds that you will be audited and that if so, this specific job will be audited AND that the employer will have kept a record that you did not come in are minimal at best. You have not applied for the job - you have mailed in a resume.

    If you want to worry about it, fine, but you're panicking yourself over nothing.
