Whether the appellant was apt for placement from 2009-11-04 despite his ongoing self-employed activity.
No. His independent business remained substantial and prevented the requisite availability for salaried work.
Placement aptitude requires both capacity and willingness to accept suitable work and sufficient temporal availability. A person who continues a significant self-employed activity, without fixing clear availability and while still tied to long-term entrepreneurial commitments, is generally not placeable. The appellant's job search efforts, mostly in unrelated social-sector jobs, did not show a realistic and immediate readiness to return to salaried employment.
