Re:Engage with an unemployment algorithm by mrweasel on Monday June 13, 2022 @07:33AM (#31723988)
It might be a case of the algorithm not being designed for your case. If you work in IT, you most likely only have to deal with the unemployment office is you've been hit by stress and is trying to recover. The unemployment office almost exclusively deal with people who are very reluctant to seek employment or have other issues that might prevent them from functioning in the job market (lack of education, mental issues, health issues, language barriers and so on). That does leave them with some funny interactions when someone outside those categories show up.

A friend of my took a spent month, after getting hit masters degree in CS, finding the right job. That meant that he need to show up at the unemployment office. They where only able to offer him a forklift certification, which he didn't need or want. In the end they just left him alone for a month and he found the job he wanted.

Overall the Danish unemployment office is remarkably bad at finding jobs for people or even help them get better qualifications. There's an entire book written about it (based on one journalists experiences). In the book the only person, that particular office found a job for is one they hired themself.
