Summary:
The claimant registered for a course in information technology and had suspended her job searches until she completes her course which was necessary to find the type of job she wanted and in a field for which she did not have the required qualifications. The Commission determined that she did not prove her availability for work because she restricted her job searches to fields where the employment opportunities were limited. The Board of Referees finds that the claimant, because of her limitations and preferences, restricted her job search to secretarial and accounting jobs. There is a consistent line of authority to the effect that a claimant cannot restrict her job searches, for an extended period, to a field she would prefer but where she does not succeed in getting a job.
