So I quit my job about a month ago because I was under the heavy impression I had another job lined up, I interviewed 3 times, had great rapport with the managers, they kept assuring me I had the job but never gave me an offer.
First they said they would get back to me on the 17th, then the 23rd, which they never did. Called them yesterday and they said the manager said he would call me back that night, never did.
Can I apply for unemployment in the state of California for quitting my other job on the premise that I had another opportunity but it didn't pan out?
I also left my other job on good terms, and only put in my two weeks when the guys that wanted to hire me reassured me non-stop.
inb4 "never quit a job until you have an offer in writing, go back to your other job, etc.

Well, in practice it's the obvious truth. I get being excited but it's just general common sense. Go beg for your old job back

don't think I have a chance with unemployment?

I live in Canada, but when I dealt with unemployment here they were pretty adamant if you voluntarily left your place of work, there was no help to be found. It might be different there though

I mean it seems to be the case here in cali too.

You quit voluntarily. You have no rights to any compensation. Had you been released without proper cause then you'd be eligible. Your former employer shouldn't be responsible for your premature decision. You're not owed anything. Get a job you bum
