My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California
I was on unemployment benefits for over a year when I applied to and was hired for a job. On my first day I realized that the job was far too technical for me and quit in the hopes of continuing my existing UI Benefits until I found a suitable job. When I applied, I only saw the job title and did not read the full description. After I quit I checked the jobs requirements on the company's website. There were 3 minimum requirements listed for the position which I clearly did not meet and they were never brought up or discussed in the interview process.
1) 3+ yrs as a software engineer - I have never been a software engineer
2) Must be able to program in object oriented languages - I don't even know what that means?
3) BS degree in computer science or related field - My highest level of education is High School
California EDD says that because I quit I can't continue to receive benefits. I feel that there was no way I should have ever been hired since I cannot possibly do this job. I feel the 3 points listed above prove there was no reasonable way to expect that I could do this job. This is the basis of my appeal. Do I have a case?
