Good reasons to quit a job?

Answer 1

How about the truth?

I don't enjoy this job.

This job is not working out for me.

I have found another job I would prefer.

I have found a job with better hours.

I have found a job with better pay.

I have found a job with better benefits.

Answer:Now, if you need a reason to be eligible for unemployment, you'd have to be quitting due to job related problems such as harassment, abuse on the job, substantially reduced hours, toxic and dangerous working conditions, etc. Some states also allow for reasons of domestic abuse, following a spouse for military transfer or spouse's job relocation

Answer 2

One reason might be that the job wasn't as described at the time of hiring.

Depending on your state, they may consider offering considerably fewer hours than were promised to be "constructive dismissal", meaning you could quit and still collect unemployment (usually you can't collect unemployment if you quit). Another possibility (again, this depends on what your state allows) would be to continue filing unemployment for those days you don't work. Your unemployment benefits will be reduced, but you'll probably still make more working and collecting partial unemployment than you were making purely on unemployment.

The discussion in the ... well, discussion ... makes it look like you're not sure how to fill out the form. On one of the days you're not working, you should go into your local unemployment office (you can try calling, but good luck with that; I was never able to get anyone on the phone there) and ask them how to fill out the forms. Explain that you found a job you were told would be full time but that in practice it's been more like 60% of full time, that you're still looking for full time employment, and you want to know how to properly fill out your claim form to reflect your current situation.
