Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
After nine years of employment as a steno-secretary, claimant resigned due to stress caused by the nonchallenging nature of her job duties and the fact that her skills were not being utilized. We conclude that substantial evidence supports the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board that claimant voluntarily left her employment under disqualifying conditions. It is well settled that dissatisfaction with one's employment, including assertions of being overqualified, does not constitute good cause for leaving one's employment ( see, Matter of Melito [KZ Personnel — Sweeney], 236 A.D.2d 773; Matter of Macaluso [Hudacs], 193 A.D.2d 1031). Furthermore, although claimant was experiencing headaches and high blood pressure, which she attributed to her job situation, claimant admitted that she was not medically advised to leave her job ( see, Matter of Krinsky [Sweeney], 238 A.D.2d 659; Matter of Bishop [Hudacs], 193 A.D.2d 1040, 1041).
Mercure, J. P., Crew III, White, Peters and Spain, JJ., concur.
