Got a denial letter for unemployment, what now?, teaching assistant here

I got a denial letter last week saying I left my job voluntarily, but I was let go as a teaching assistant. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The letter lists a deadline and a hearing process, but it is hard to follow. Did you bring documents or only talk?

File the appeal before the deadline, even if you are unsure. You can gather documents afterwards. That is the one part I would not wait on.

Stay calm and stick to facts. Mine lasted about thirty minutes and felt more like a conversation than a trial.
