I was recently laid off from my contractor position in New York, which came as a surprise since management had assured me just a few months prior that my role was secured for another five years. I had already booked a family vacation for the next two weeks, and now I'm in a bit of a bind since it's too late to cancel the trip. I'm currently on unemployment and haven't received any callbacks during my first week of searching for a new job. I'm unsure how to approach this if I get an interview soon; I want to be honest about my plans but also need to comply with unemployment regulations. Specifically, I'm worried about how to answer the question about availability when certifying for benefits. Any advice on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated.
