I got fired but left on good terms and my employer agrees to say I was not suited for the job rather than that I purposely screwed up. However in the previous year I quit a number of jobs because I was trying to find something better. Now they want explanations for quits that took place between a year and 18 months ago. Even though I have about 4 months of recent solid work from which I did not quit, is this still going to keep me from being approved?

No, that is how it works. I worked at a school, the school didn't renew my contract, my unemployment was not based on the income I made at that school, but the job I had before that. I keep notebooks on all my employers....so when I was asked about that other employer I was able to give reasons for why I left that job and I had times and dates things happened. I told them enough stuff about that employer that I won my case, but then I proceeded to tell them the rest of what was in my notes just for humor sake. Make a point to apply for at least two jobs this week. I think you have to show where you are applying for a certain number of jobs per week, so apply for something. Always apply for unemployment no matter what job you leave or why.....because often the HR Manager is so swamped with work that they don't get their end of the paperwork in on time......and you win your claim by default. If your claim gets denied, automatically file an appeal, for the same reason, they can't keep up with the paperwork and they will usually fail on their end and you win your case. I am sorry you lost your job, but tourist season is starting in most places and so restaurants and retailers will be hiring......and that is a start. Good luck. Oh, and remember to match the key words in a job announcement with your resume since computers not people read applications. so if the job announcement says "processed checks" make sure your resume says "processed checks.

The chances your employer is kind enough to pay higher rates of unemployment insurance so you can collect is minimal. He told you that so you would leave without a fuss.
They look at all yoru employers during the qualifying period, which goes back 4 quarters. It will certainly affect your benefits, yes.
