Whether the appellant was fit for placement from 2011-01-18 despite her independent activity.
No. Her own statements showed that her remaining time was devoted to developing and prospecting for the independent project, so she lacked the availability and willingness required for salaried work.
Fitness for placement requires both capacity and willingness to accept suitable work and sufficient temporal availability. An independent activity may be compatible only if the insured fixes its scope and schedule. Here she could not define her availability and oriented her efforts mainly toward building her client base and business.
