Has anyone ever resigned citing mental health and been able to secure unemployment while searching for a new opportunity?

I resigned due to mental health, but didn’t secure unemployment - I didn’t know how and it was never explained to me. Didn’t know my former employer had an EAP until I was three weeks away from putting my two weeks in & already completely burnt out

I think you should check in with your state qualifications before making that jump just to make sure you would qualify!

I am also resigning for mental health reasons but I was told that it may not qualify for full unemployment benefits in my state. I need to double check since that doesn't sound right to me. Wish you the best though and good for you for putting yourself first!

I didn't even know that was an option, so it's a definite no from me.

You could do that? Well, I have to look that up now

I haven't tried yet but it's interesting to know.

I think you might need to look into disability rather than unemployment

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
