“#Is now a good time to be looking for another job?<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n My son has been working at a startup for three years since graduating college and is ready to move. He has been exploring career coaches and found an online source that charges 9 percent of your first year\u2019s salary if you get a job. Sounds high to me. Is there a way to find a reputable career coach? Why someone would want to change jobs in a pandemic is beyond me, but no one listens to their mother. My son might listen to you, though!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, at least someone\u2019s kid will listen to me because mine won\u2019t \u2014 and if your son won\u2019t listen to you then make him read this response: Your mother is right. It\u2019s fine to look for another job, but the timing isn\u2019t great and you certainly shouldn\u2019t quit before finding a new job. And don\u2019t waste money paying for a career coach. At this point, you have all of the resources needed to help with any career questions and find a new job. Tap into your network, contact the career office at college, reach out to alumni, do some research, read \u2014 including my column \u2014 and listen to your mother.<\/p>\n

Prior to the pandemic, I had a busy small business with 10 employees. When I reopened, more than half of my staff resigned, stating that they felt unsafe, or to go back to school. However, they are still collecting unemployment even though I sent back my NY Department of Labor responses explaining that I have work for them. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair that they are able to collect unemployment off my account. How is this possible?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Typically, if an unemployed individual turns down a job offer, they may no longer be eligible for unemployment benefits, unless they had good cause to turn down the job. Turning down a job offer because of a general<\/a> fear of COVID-19 is not considered good cause. There are, however, specific COVID-19 related scenarios that do allow employees to turn down a job and continue receiving benefits, such as taking care of a family member diagnosed with COVID or if the person is the primary caregiver and schools or childcare facilities are closed due to COVID.
