No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
A bail bond is a surety bond, which is posted by a bail bond company to the court as a guarantee for an arrestee's appearance at all court dates. The court will release an arrestee from detention upon posting of the bail bond.
Termination of the obligation of bail has become known as “exoneration.” Once the criminal case is resolved (criminal proceedings terminated or the surrender of the defendant into custody), the depositor or surety is relieved of their obligation and is entitled to return of the deposit.
You need to file a motion to amend bond conditions with the court. You should at least consult with a local criminal defense attorney (if you are not already represented by someone) to discuss the issues the court will consider, and the best way to address those issues.
Steps Identify which condition you want to modify. The judge may have imposed many conditions as part of your bail. Tell your lawyer to file the motion. Talk with the prosecutor. Format your motion. Insert the caption. Title your motion. Add an introduction. Provide important background facts.

At a bail hearing or sometimes at an earlier hearing (like an initial appearance), the judge will evaluate any predetermined bail amount and decide whether to change it. If so, the judge needs to figure out what amount is reasonable to make sure the defendant shows up for future court appearances.
A bail bond is exonerated when the legal process/trial has finished. It does not matter whether the defendant is found guilty/innocent or if the case has been dismissed. At this point, the bail bond is discharged. However, any unpaid premium, fees or other amounts charged by the bail service provider are still owed.
