Everyone I came in contact with was very helpful and resourceful, however, no one knew how to manipulate the software to make corrections, and figure out how to work around the site crashing and kicking out errors before one is halfway done trying to file/re-open a claim. Last I utilized the career center, the site was FluidNow. I found out the new system, ConnectFlorida, has a multitude of problems, bugs, and issues that the employees are aware of, but have no control over. I was just trying to handle MY business; I can't imagine the aggravation of the employees as they try to assist each and every person who comes in there, and I'm sure from who I saw, that over 50% of these people don't have internet access, or aren't familiar with online website and how to navigate them. I was fortunate enough to speak with the employment manager who was more than helpful and willing to go the extra mile to assist me with my claim. My issue still isn't resolved, and I still left upset because I could not process my claim - however, I feel fortunate that the employees I came in contact with were patient enough to do all they could. They need to spend that money appropriately rather than working on 'branding' Anyone who is in there looking for work, doesn't care what you call it - they just help and assistance! No o ne needs a new brochure! Thanks to those who helped me today!
