Il unemployment 602a interview

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my timelines and experience so far.
Visa Type: F2A USCIS priority date: December 27 2021 USCIS approval: February 2 2023 NVC Visa Case Creation: February 9 2023 NVC DQ: March 31 2023 IL: Waiting...
I'm a permanent resident living in the US, while my wife is in Bogotá. This process has been so long and frustrating for us. It's been almost 2.5 years since we started the process and we still don't know when the wait will end.
I know there's a bunch of threads like this, but some are old and some others are too generic. I'd like this post to be specific for F2A visa type and permanent resident as applicant, since the wait times for citizens are shorter (at least for the interview).
I hope we can help each other by sharing our time frames so we can get a better idea of when our cases will be processed/approved and when we will be finally able to be with our loved ones.
Good luck everyone!

I struggle a lot with anxiety, even simple plans. Today I had plans to meet up with a friend for Pokémon Go and that kept me up until 4:30 AM, and even then I only got about 5 hours of in-and-out sleep worried about the alarm. As you can imagine, that's even worse when it's a job interview, and will probably get even worse when I get back to work (I'm currently unemployed after an accident and surgery but actively trying to find work).
I'm willing to take this to my new doctor, but my old doctor was never able to find something that did anything for me. He tried hydroxyzine, which didn't seem to have any effect helping me get to sleep - but then sleeping 12+ hours when I finally did. I've tried melatonin and unisom but I feel like the anxiety still kicks in when those wear off and I wake back up in terror of my alarm.
I almost never make it to my alarm. If I wake up within 2-3 hours of my alarm, I'm out of luck and can't get back to sleep because of nerves. Unfortunately there's too many cues overnight to what time it is, so even if I don't have a clock nearby, I kinda know.
Any ideas?

Regretting law school choice because there was no 2L recruit, didn't find articling and now applied to Ontario LPP but I don't live in Ontario and have zero intention of moving there. The first course seems fully remote but the work term appears to be in person or hybrid. No way I can leave my current job for 4 months, but now the more I think about it the more I realized the whole articling system is one big scam. I have a job that pays over six figures so doing LPP seems like it would be huge mistake given that the end outcome would be unemployment.
Articling is a scam in Canada. And LPP is even worse. Imagine paying 4k just to do yet another school course for 4 months, and then maybe find a practicum for another 4 months which may or may not be paid at minimum wage, only to still do the bar exam twice, a week apart, and still be unemployed in the end! The whole thing would cost at least 20k to move to Ontario and add another 30k in lost income; and that's just for the 4 month work term and exams. That's Canada for you. And if you do find a job most likely it's a contract temporary position which pays no higher than a government non-law worker. Even if some firm or government agency hired me after LPP, I wouldn't be moving to Ontario and definitely would take a pay cut from my current job.
Meanwhile if you go to USA there is just a 2 day bar exam, and at Harvard Law for example there's like 800+ law firms paying money for the privilege of recruiting 500 or so students on campus in a seamless interview process, with big law paying 220k+ USD day one and they also pay them for a few months to study for the bar exam as a "clerk", not to mention summer jobs with high salaries. Meanwhile at my Canadian law school there was zero recruitment during 2L and no OCIs on campus for 2L or after.
P.S. Thinking about doing a Harvard LLM but the cost and lost income just can't be justified. Can just write the bar exam directly in the USA and move on from this Canadian law school dead end. At least then there is the hope of finding a remote attorney role even if part-time document review. And maybe down the line in-house remotely in some US corporation.
Looks like we need a PPS because the Canadian law students forum bans all critical posts:
Law School Regrets --Top reasons NOT TO go to my school: University of Alberta Law
Top reasons NOT TO go to my school: University of Alberta Law
This was something partially from the old law students forums, but on the new one it's impossible to post anything without being censored. My law school was a dead end with no career support and only in retrospect did I realize how bad it really was. Buyer beware. The worst part was the grading system where average was B- in 1L and where Cs and Ds were handed out regularly by profs. Some classmates were required to withdraw. I can tell you this not how students are treated at ivy league American schools which have pass fail systems (thinking of Harvard). Another big difference is that at Harvard most exams are just take home papers or assignments combined with participation. Brutal in class finals with harsh curving at a B- simply doesn't exist like at U of A.
1. Location, location, location. Edmonton is in a frozen industrial wasteland. It is extremely cold during 8 months of the year like -40 and lower with windchill cold. There is not much in Edmonton other than warehouses and industrial views. Views of flare stacks burning. Travelling anywhere is a huge hassle as again not much around. Even the SportChek downtown closed up shop and left reflecting Deadmonton’s downtown (high crime and deserted). HBO’s The Last of Us was filmed in downtown Edmonton and rumour is they didn’t even have to use CGI or props.
2. Building and Facilities. First year classrooms have no windows and the vibe is that of the TV show Fallout or Silo. The building is a literal bomb shelter with thick concrete. I recommend staying in the law building 1L classrooms if WW3 ever starts. The library is old and access to online databases and pretty much anything digital is extremely limited. They have very little subscription access compared to other schools due to funding issues. Don’t believe me, then try using HOLLIS at Harvard Library and see the difference in access. Anyway, the library system is severely lacking at U of A in terms of online and database access. Online textbooks and course materials anyone? One word to describe the law building: Brutalistic.
3. Practical Experience and Clinicals. In short U of A has no clinics. No, Student Legal Services is not for credit and not Faculty of Law associated. There are no for credit clinics period. There are a few internship courses and they are extremely competitive so unless you’re getting As it’s not going to happen. Moots are equally competitive and the same few favorites get most of the opportunities. If you’re interested in business, or corporate law or big law type stuff or tech etc., then there is literally nothing for you at U of A as far as experiential learning or clinics. The course selection is also very limited with few options and many full instantly.
4. Career Services. There is a 1L OCI which places at the few small and medium firms in Edmonton, and that’s about it. There is nothing in 2L and minimal articling positions afterwards. The career services office had high turnover and the career advice from the former career services director for articling was to “ask your friends if they know anything”. The job board website is also useless and at one point didn’t even work for alumni. Expect zero career support or alumni outreach from U of A. One of the activities the former career services coordinator offered was "adult coloring books". Absolutely no career support from 2L onwards, no on campus OCIs, and Edmonton only has a handful of medium and small firms. On top of that there are a lot of experienced NCAs also competing for the same spots who are in the same classes! Students at UAlberta are so ignorant that they think a national Viilaw portal application that is for Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver city specific market is the same as a dedicated on campus OCI recruit (OCI means recruiting only open for that specific school on campus usually done for 2L and 3L in the USA).
Simply comparing to this OCI SCHOOL SPECIFIC 2L and 3L system: https://hls.harvard.edu/ocs/for-employers/recruiting-programs-for-employers/
5. Professors and Classes. Some tenured profs are unapproachable and overly academic. You are just a number and the 1L classes are big, plus all the NCAs. Profs have no qualms about giving out Cs, Ds, and Required to Withdraws like candy. The curve is brutal around a forced B- average for 1L. Some profs even refused to supervise a paper summer course or write a generic reference letter. The practitioners are local and underwhelming. If you are looking for niche fields in corporate, tech, AI or innovative classes, there's isn't really much on offer. I think they once had a Military Law course but probably don't anymore. And forget about AI or Space Law.
Good for Criminal Law???: Criminal law is the best place to be in Edmonton. They don't call it Deadmonton for nothing! Lots of prolific crimes and murders happen regularly in Edmonton and there are 4 big jails around the city.

I'm here hoping someone can offer some sound advice. So my son who will be 34 in 2 weeks was fired from his job this past March. He had only been there since May of 2023. Prior to that, he worked foe BCBS for a year and was fired from there also. This will be his 4th job in which he was fired. What makes it even worse is that he either isn't eligible for unemployment because of the nature of his termination or he just is super lazy and won't fill out the weekly certifications. This kid is in a really bad position because he doesn't have a car which means he can only look for WFM jobs which are few and far between. He's currently living with a cousin because we won't allow him to come back home( he lived with us for 4 yrs and it almost drove us crazy). He seems depressed because he's not getting any replies or calls for interviews. I help by sending him jobs that I think he's qualified for but other than that, what more can I do.
Any advice on how to help this young man who I feel has "Failure to launch" syndrome? I'd hate to see him in a homeless shelter

If not, the silence speaks volumes.
By now, they know what they’ve got with Pineda. He’s coached over 100 games in ATL and he’s arguably had a legit roster since last summer. So, if they still believe he’s the right coach, they’d be offering a public vote of confidence and trying to manage fan and media expectations about a mid-year change.
The fact that we haven’t heard from either of them during this 8-game winless streak tells me three things:

1. A change is coming
2. They want the interim manager period to be very short
3. The candidates they want to consider aren’t available yet

A lot of coaches will be finishing their seasons today or in the next two weeks. Only then can they even be available to interview. And the front office has probably known all along that if a change we’re going to be made this season, it would most likely happen this summer because that’s when managers are available and tend to change jobs. Otherwise, you’re limited to only the coaches that have been fired and are already unemployed.
And unless they plan to permanently promote Rob Valentino (which I think is highly unlikely) I can understand why they wouldn’t want to ask him to serve as the interim coach for an extended period a second time.
So, my guess is a change is coming but we’re gonna have to wait a bit longer before it happens.

I'll try to provide enough context for you all to answer my questions.
My last day of work was Tuesday, March 5. I started my Unemployment Insurance claim on Sunday, March 24. I completed benefit requests on April 21 and May 5. My claim has been under fact-finding the entire time. I uploaded all relevant documents during the week of March 24. Today, May 19, is my "Next Benefit Request Date." But of course, it is Sunday, so I cannot call the helpline with questions. I received a full-time job offer on Thursday, May 9, and accepted it on Friday, May 10. I signed all the necessary paperwork between Monday, May 13, and Thursday, May 16. I had a job interview set up for May 10 and a job shadow/interview for May 11, but I canceled them because the job I was offered was my top pick. The following week, I did not apply for any jobs. The job was supposed to start on Monday, May 20, but they told me on Friday, May 17, that it would begin on Monday, June 3. (The training schedule was messing up with the holiday). So, if I were to log on to the portal now and fill out my benefit request, it would not show the necessary 5 actions per week or a return to full-time work.
How do I accurately relay this information to the Office of Unemployment? Have I accidentally made myself ineligible to receive any benefit now? The representative I spoke to before said that since it is under fact-finding, I need to keep requesting benefits until a decision is made, and then I could get back pay. Could I wait until the helpline opens tomorrow and call? Or will the benefit request not be available after today?

For context: Every employee at my job was Furloughed because the physical space was being reconstructed. They told us the Furlough would end at a specific date and we would all return to work. That date has come and gone and made an announcement of their re-opening on their website and social media accounts. However, I have not been contacted so I reached out to HR in the email chain where they confirmed the end of our Furlough date but haven't heard back in over a week. The GM at the time of my employment moved on to another company during the furlough so I have no other managers to ask.
My question is what sort of confirmation can I get? I ask because my current unemployment service depends on the end of my furlough if they say I was fired for breaking a policy. I also want to know so when I interview with other potential employers I can be clear and honest about my previous employment if they reach out to the company for my reference.
Thank you!

I am about to turn 50 years old, am male, and have worked in offices and administration my entire working life of about 30 years here in Canada. Two jobs totaling about 9 years amounted to any prolonged sense of fulfillment and happiness. The remainder were just for the paycheque ("paycheck" for you Yanks. 😉).
I just started a new job in a mid-level administrative role at a very small but wealthy company and have been there about 5 weeks. I am seriously unhappy but can't just quit and realize it is futile to try and talk to the impervious management in an effort to improve things. Prior to this, I wasn't getting interviews when applying for things after a year away from employment, my EI had run out, and this place was my first job interview since being unemployed, and they offered it to me right away. The pay is decent and I am performing well, but, at this point, it's just a paycheque job and I am telling myself not to emotionally invest in the work so as to maintain my mental health. Just going to do the best I can and do it with integrity but also try to keep a more stoic perspective on it. Clearly, I am already seeing a brief future with this employer but am prepared to hang on for at least a year.
I'm nervous about trying to find work due to the labour market and losing the pay should I do something impulsive like walk out in a moment of frustration. I know I'll get hired if I get an interview as I do well at that, but getting to the interview seems to be the obstacle. Might be my resume. Who knows? But I've also been considering a complete change in my line of work, such as doing something in a completely different sector. This brings on another set of anxieties. I often feel too old to change streams. I also don't quite know what I'd rather do. And if I did, would it be practical? And would I be able to find a way to learn this new trade while still meeting expenses and providing for my family? These and other factors are what constitute feeling stuck for me right now.
Can anyone else relate to this? How did you manage and get through your challenges in these areas?

Why do people lie to impress their partners or the people they’re trying to pursue? Do people understand the pressure and mental stress that comes with that? Imagine keeping a lie or continuously coming up with a new lie to back up your original lie🤦🏽‍♀️ I’ve seen my friends get lied to, okay it’s actually funny if it’s not you being lied to😆.
I remember one person told my friend he’s an HR or just someone of power who could help our friend get into the company, the anticipation and hope of our unemployed friend🥹 and the constant calls my friend used to make to this guy to ask if our friend would get the job or get called for an interview…
Why do people put themselves in these kind of situations? Other than sex is it mentally or emotionally worth it?

This is more retribution than revenge, but it's still...
When I was studying for an M.A. in Psychology, we had to take one of two courses: advanced statistics (conventional statistics, boring as boring can be) or a course in a kind of alternate analysis. The second course was given by a professor who had developed a brilliant method for tabulating variables and defining predicted relationships between them and I chose his course. Wrong move. While the guy was brilliant, he was also megalomanic and nasty. He spent most of the lectures badmouthing conventional statistics and rarely taught anything. His T.A. weren’t very good at answering questions, and writing papers for the course was a nightmare.
One of the things the professor was hung up on was language – he had invented terms for the elements of his theory (some of them were invented words, some of them were common words that he gave new meanings) and insisted on using them - and woe betide any student who tried to use his/her own words to explain the concepts! During one lecture, he spouted a sentence full of his terms – common words but with his meaning – and most of the class didn’t understand what on earth he meant. (Incidentally, I was one of the few who did understand). A student raised his hand, said he didn’t understand and asked the lecturer to repeat it. The professor repeated what he had said word for word. Ths student said he still didn’t understand. The Professor barked out: “do you know what X means? Do you know what Y means?” etc (X and Y being the words he used). The student said “I understand each word, but I still don’t understand the sentence, could you explain it in other words?” The professor exploded: “These are scientific terms, there are no other words”. I raised my hand, he called me (his mistake) and I said: “Excuse me, but this course is required for M.A. students of Psychology and Sociology. The students here are M.A. students of Psychology and Sociology. If most of us don’t understand, there must be another way to explain it”. The Professor turned DARK PURPLE – I thought he was having a heart attack - but he went to the blackboard, drew a sketch and explained and everyone understood.
By the end of the year, I failed the course. Not that I didn’t understand – but I insisted on using my own words, and that was unacceptable. Next year I took the conventional statistics course.
After that year when I failed, I went to the head of the Psychology department, and reported. I said that it was unacceptable that a required course was one that was given so badly, and graded so unfairly. He asked me to interview other students about the course and write him a report – it could be anonymous. Some students were afraid to express their concerns (he was very powerful at the University) but I got a long list of complaints, and wrote a detailed report – problems with the course, problems with the T.A., problems with the assignments. And I signed it and handed it in.
Two other students were braver than me. They wrote an open letter: “If you want to be insulted all year. If you want to hear one gospel from the teacher and the opposite one from the T.A. etc. etc. This course is for you!”
And they signed it, and hung it up on the bulletin board. Other students added their signatures and endorsements.
Well - the course wasn’t removed. But I found out that the professor had insisted on his course being made compulsory for all Psychology students, and with his clout at the university he would have succeeded. However, due to our protests, his demand was blocked. At least half a win.
By the way, his method was BRILLIANT! I used it countless times over my years working in research support, and even consulted with him. He either didn't know or didn't remember that I had snitched on him...
EDIT: O.K, since several of you have asked, and since the guy is dead years ago, here are the details:
His name was Louis Guttman
The theory is called "Facet Theory".
Here is an article about it by one of his main colleagues: https://pluto.huji.ac.il/~msshye/modern_facet_theory.pdf
You can also look up the man and the theory in Wikipedia.

15000 vacancies through CGL 2024. Great plan B. Many of CGL appointees have qualified UPSC. Better than bank jobs.I still remember when i took lic assistant exam lightly. If i could have attended NABARD interview, being a LIC assistant, i would have got good interview marks. After some time, even interview boards dont sympathise with your unemployed status
Ha logo ko pre se dhyan bhatkane ke liye post kiya hai

So I (20F) have been unemployed since February. I haven’t had the best luck with securing an interview for any job roles, even casual retail roles. I don’t think my resume stands out.
My boyfriend recommends putting a picture on my resume for “minority hire”. He thinks it would also do well because I got hired at my previous job for my smile.
I don’t think adding my picture would do anything, and I am a bit embarrassed to include it.
What would make my resume stand out? And if I secure an interview, what questions should I ask to stand out against other applicants?

I've read several posts here about people stretching their employment dates 6 months, 1 year, even 2 years. Now let me first say, while this in technicality is wrong, this is a judgement free zone. Please save the "you shouldn't lie at all", or "what you did is wrong" comments. The fact of the matter is people do what they need to do to get a job in this market.
Anyways, I plan on accepting an offer Monday. I quit my previous employer last month and 9 days later, I heard back from the recruiter regarding the position that I am now accepting. My previous employer honored my late April quit date by paying me through the end of the month however, due to calling out my boss for creating a toxic workplace environment they told me that I don't have to work for the rest of the month (not sure if my last day of work or, last day of payment/insurance benefits counts as my quit day). Either way, it's been just over a month since I quit and during the interview process, I was not honest in the fact that I am now unemployed in fear that they would no longer be interested in me.
Am I screwed if/when they do a background check? Again, the date is only off by a month and some change but I am unsure.

I recently graduated from university with a major in Economics and was considering a career in wealth management. However, I discovered how sales-focused and extroverted it is. I also read up in this subreddit how it's hard to build your book if you aren't already affiliated with wealthy people. I know that most finance careers are extroverted, but I really enjoy stocks, ETFs, investing, and analyzing portfolios. Can anyone suggest career paths that are relatively introverted, related to portfolio management, and preferably not focused on coding?
I do not have my licenses yet. I have an interview at Charles Schwab soon with what looks and sounds like a call center job. I'm planning on sucking it up and getting my licenses and dipping so I wanted to try and get it figured out first. I would also appreciate any suggestions for a better entry level job! I have roughly 2 years of customer service experience and I'm currently unemployed.
Thanks ahead of time! I feel a bit lost and just want a bit of direction so I'm also open to any other suggestions!

There is no offer yet but I feel like it’s coming. The pay is decent but I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a proper job becuase I can’t interview while working for them Been unemployed for 17 weeks

Hi everyone,
This is a fresh Reddit account, but I have been around here a LONG time. Got locked out of my old account. Anyways - I have some questions regarding a job offer I just got.
I am a veteran of the USAF -3C072 when I left service. I’ve been doing IT for over 20 years. I left my previous job in banking because the stress was literally killing me. Anyways I digress….I left at the end of January this year. I live in San Antonio and went to a USAF job fair a few weeks back. It was a zoo as expected and I just dropped a couple resumes, thinking nothing would come of it. Well lo and behold, I got a bite, and a supervisor emailed me about a GS-12 position at Randolph. I really was/am not looking for government work, as it just doesn’t pay enough. However I told him I was interested because I’m unemployed and turning down a possible 6 figure job is dumb regardless.
We set up a call for last week. He and I talked, but you could hardly call it a job interview. It was really me and him shooting the shit, with a little bit of the job description thrown in. He told me he had a few more interviews and if I didn’t hear back from him by the end of this past week I didn’t get it. Cool. Between then and today, I also got another job offer in the private sector making $72.00 an hour, but it’s just a contract position with the possibility for permanent hire as it goes on. I went ahead and accepted. Thursday I got a call and he told me I was his choice for the job, and gave me a verbal offer. Also, he was able to put me up to GS-12 Step 5. I accepted this one was well.
Questions:
I cannot find a legit source for how much I will make as a 2210 GS-12 Step 5 in San Antonio. Can someone please help me out?
After receiving a verbal offer from the supervisor how long does the whole process take? What should I expect? It is long and drawn out? Is it odd for it to go down like it did for me? I found it very informal, which is not a bad thing.
I’m leaning towards taking the government job for the job security and the ability to retire relatively soon due to my AF service. What would you guys do if you were in my position?
Thanks in advance!

We moved to Chicago in 2021. We were over the moon at first. We had finally achieved our long term goal and it seemed like we genuinely had a future together. Come to find out over the last 2 years that she values going out more than I do, is not a very clean person, and wants to include her friends in everything.
Add to this, the job I used to move here was bought by a big corporation and became incredibly toxic. I quit on a handshake deal with my old manager to work at the shop he was opening up. I had savings for the temporary unemployment. But, due to backstabbing by two other prospective employees I was not given the job. This resulted in 7 months of depression, debt, and unemployment.
I finally received a job offer for a work from home position in my preferred industry…only for it to be rescinded. The CEO who hired me was furious the offer was rescinded by the owner so he offered me a job at his personal business (retail) in the meantime while he can get me in another round of hiring. The second round came and I was accepted again…but the second offer was rescinded due to them wanting another interview that they had never done with any other candidate before. I did the second interview and finally got the job 7 months after it was first rescinded.
Needless to say, this caused a lot of stress for myself and my partner. I haven’t been very kind and have lashed out because of it, however it was over things I had communicated as upsetting to me multiple times before. I hit a breaking point 2 weeks before starting the new position. I wanted this job for our future to be better and right before it actually happens we break up.
I want to not take this job offer but if I don’t that means staying in retail. The job will look good on my resume, pays well, and has great benefits. It’s a big break for me. I’m devastated that I can’t enjoy it with her, though.
She’s not 100% in the right either.
I wanted to take a trip to Detroit for a music festival but she invited her friends and sister without asking me. I wanted alone time to fix our relationship. Now I’m not going to the festival but she and her friends still are. I didn’t say anything because she literally cries when I don’t want to hang out with her friends.
She goes out often and leaves me to take care of our dog. I’ve said this bothers me but it continued.
I clean more than her. I’ve given up trying to get her to be more proactive about cleaning.
I can’t stand her when she drinks.
But…I still love her. I’ve grown so much with her and am a better person because she was in my life.
I’m devastated.

Some of my references weren't able to confidently and corrctly verify my info.
One of my unemployment period references thought I was still working, even though I explicitly told them I needed them to verify that I'm unemployed lol. I was also asked to give references on drug usage and I gave people who I literally took drugs with and they ended up giving incomplete info since they got too nervous and forgot in the moment.
I only found out about these because the references wanted to tell me what their experiences were. The investigator never followed up on either of these issues which I'm guessing is because I addressed them at the initial interview before anyone was called.
This something to be worried about?

A little backstory first -
I graduated from a private University in 2023, in my 3rd(2022) year I secured a paid internship in an established startup, and got converted to full-time in 2023, everything was going great and my work was also good and my peers were satisfied, my performance declined eventually(I have some personal mental health issues going on) and i struggled with some tasks and delayed in delivering some work on time according to my peers and managers,but they supported me good people. and then company had some hard times some big projects got shut down, and then they picked the weaker links such as me and others we were systematically kicked out from the company, eventually i was asked to resign and I did.
Now the new job hunting part-
I realised where I was lacking, my focus that I had earlier was gone, decided not to touch my laptop for a week, and wanted to do a complete detox and chill. Now I started the job hunt, i knew the market was bad and aimed on getting a similar pay range job, i was getting 7.5lpa(in hand) previously, and I was ready to go low as 6lpa(in hand) Saw a post from CTO of swiggy they were hiring for ASDEs Frontend and emailed him my resume with hopes getting a call, And it worked actually i got a call from HR after 15 days, She agreed to match my previous CTC, and i was really hopeful about this, she scheduled the interview and i started the grind, I had around 8 days to prepare, And i crammed javascript concepts, DSA,some basic system design and React. I also saw some posts here(on this sub)about swiggy ASDE interviews and people said that they were asked to build some components in the machine coding round, I was confident about writing components from scratchin React with pure css/scss. I decided to brush up and practiced some components Such as- nested comments, carousel, modal, breadcrumb and some more.
Finally the interview day came -
On that day I just focused on revising javascript and html, css cause basics are important Interview started at 6, the interviewers came, i introduced myself and then i was asked to share my screen and was given a question to solve, Guess what it was a component, a nested comments components with reply and abilitity to like on the comment, i was pretty confident that I can made this in react, cause i practiced that in react, then he told me that you have to do it in pure vanilla-js, I was flabbergasted and speechless, when I started to make that in html and javascript, i simply could not complete that task, Cause I was too used to building component in react.js
Failed miserably and got rejection mail a day after the interview, this experience still haunts me to this day, I mean how can I f-up this simple task.
Still searching for a job, not getting any callbacks, any advice would be appreciated.

I told them I'd wait I'm not fucking resigning.
I started this job in November. I was employed at another company prior to them for a few years and there was only a few days between my last day at the previous job and the current job. So it's been just about 6 months I've been there.
I'm in Idaho if that matters.
I thought unless I'm laid off, I can't get unemployment? If I'm fired does that matter? They just used the term "separate from the company" which is just a fancy way to say I'm fired I'm pretty sure.
If I do get unemployment, it's not as much as I'm making now right? I barely make enough to pay bills so I'm not really sure what to expect.
Help? I'm freaking out. I have a job interview in a few days or so and I'm so hoping that works out or I'm fucked if I can't get unemployment.
EDIT: This was due to being on a written warning and now my stats aren't good, so I'm pretty sure I don't qualify as this wouldn't count as "no fault on your own" that I'm seeing all over Google... This place made me sick from stress so I missed work for the 5 sick days and used personal time and now I'm here.

I applied for a job with a mutual friend and was rejected. I felt overall okay with the experience- I got decent feedback and felt I showed up well, not taking the rejection personally.
An unrelated friend called me yesterday to tell me she heard that I blew the interview, that the interviewer felt I was speaking too fast and shaking my legs a lot. I was a bit unnerved and assumed the source had to have been the mutual friend connecting us, so I called her to ask what happened. She angrily told me that she had shared the following concerns in confidence with the hiring manager: that she questions my work ethic and morality in general, that she didn’t understand how I could be traveling as much as I was when I was employed, that I’ve been a flaky friend, that she’s been worried about me. She was almost sputtering and said she’s felt this way since last year but didn’t know how to tell me.
I provided context on my situation below. I have been pretty rocked by this. I understand my friend’s position (if she had doubts about me in the role, I understand she felt obliged to share with her friend, the hiring manager, that she considered me a liability.) however - I’m in a real low right now and am spinning out about whether I didn’t interview well, or if the job didn’t work out because of my friend’s poor reference. I really, really need to find full time work right now to start to rebuild my life. In addition, I need friends around me right now who can support me and help me find work to get back on my feet. This friend tends to be a bit passive aggressive and I’ve distanced myself from her over the last year.
We discussed going on a walk next week to discuss further. I’m struggling with anger and feelings of betrayal, and I don’t know what to do. All advice in pursuit of me getting my shit together is welcome.
Context: I’ve (32F) been unemployed for a year and things have been really difficult. My unemployment put a lot of stress on my marriage and my partner and I are currently separated. Before I was fired I was burned out and putting in minimum effort. Tech employee burnout and recovering people pleaser. Smoked too much weed to cope with feelings of shame for my failures. Yes, I know this is shitty and I only have myself to blame. Since the start of the year though , I have been working on myself by taking shifts as a bartender, trying to be accountable for my actions, applying to jobs every day, reducing cannabis intake, and going to both individual & couples counseling.
