Is re-location a good reason for leaving a temp job 3 weeks early?
Comments

Jobcentre usually ask previous employer if the job would have continued for another 26 weeks when they are assessing your claim - so if the job would only have lasted another three weeks then you may be ok. I have claimed JSA after finishing contracts early on many occasions, I just put as reason for leaving - temporary employment, end of contract (no lies there!) - and never had any comeback.0

What did you say to employers & on your CV as a reason for leaving early? Or did you just stick with the end of contract? I'm worried if I leave early, it will come back and effect a job or a reference somehwere along the line0
