Definitely appeal this, but get your facts straight (names, dates, events) as the company is going to try to win this by dragging out all the negative stuff they have on you. Unemployment is sympathetic to employees who have been compelled to resign from jobs on threats or other forms of harassment (extra work load, negligence) so it would help if you could at least get a statement from a fellow co-worker who can substatiate the change in work and management's reluctance to deal with your situation.
Meantime, there are job-placement agencies (some are temporary service employment agencies) around NJ that also offer online training and help on resume building and interview techniques. Look in the Yellow Pages or ask a counselor for help. It's out there because some of us NJ musicians pay taxes to subsidize it.
The hearing may take 6-8 weeks to materialize, so do something to get working soon before the bills start coming in. It may be depressing now, but it will get better if you act now.
Bass players seldom stay unemployed!

Arthur Dent: "Are you telling me you originally made the Earth?"
Slartibartfast: "Oh, yes. Did you ever go to a place - I think it was called Norway?"
Arthur Dent: "No. No, I didn't."
Slartibartfast: "Pity. That was one of mine. Won an award, you know. Lovely crinkly edges."
