Call to unemployment I had to call unemployment to verify they had all my documents yesterday. The portal was not working properly for me to upload what I needed to upload. Ms. Camelia, ID# 2118 was so wonderful. She was patient and spoke clearly and walked me through everything, while double checking to make sure I had all documents needed to move forward in the process. I’ve had to call a couple times, and people can be very short. Not Camelia, thank you for not rushing and making the experience a smooth one, not cringy

Thanks Julie M! To Julie M, I am so grateful for your patience and the information gained from you. This is my first time having to deal with something of this nature and it’s very frustrating when one is ignorant to all the rules and regulations. Again I thank you so much for helping me get to get through this process with a little more faith.

Latreeva the great!! I want to share with you an exceptional phone experience I had with a person named Latreeva, who responded to a phone call made to the Ohio bureau of unemployment. These are difficult times for all of us due to the pandemic and the high unemployment effecting so many people. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient and a very pleasant person to interact with. How refreshing it is to speak with such a friendly person who herself may be dealing with stress of her own. In closing, this is the type of person who will give "customer service" a great name. Thanks so much, Traci

Positive Interaction Hello I tried three times putting in answering the questions and explanations on unemployment page. I kept getting the error 404. I ended up calling in and a lady named Dana Rowe taking my call. i explained to her what happened and she entered everything for me and went out of her way helping me. i really was surprised how patient and helpful she was. She definitely should be a trainer or supervisor. She was excellent. Thank you so much.

Helpful to a fault! I'm writing to let anyone who needs to know what a great and helpful employee works at the ODJFS. His name is Paul, employee ID #1398. My case became an entangled issue. After trying for weeks to get through to a human being to try to straighten it all out, I waited for 1 1/2 hours, determined to get to an operator. Paul answered the phone and I could not believe the enthusiasm to solve my situation. We were on the phone together for another 1 1/2 hours! He could not have been more diligent if he tried! Just an outstanding effort to cut through my issues and finally get the ball rolling on my claim. Thank you Paul!! You are a credit to your peers!!!!
