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.
Who Can Post Bail? Any adult (18 or older), except another inmate, can post security at the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office Adult Jail, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Security is commonly called bail.
State v. The law states that a defendant can only be released from custody in one of three ways: a deposit bond; his own recognizance; or conditional release. The Oregon Supreme Court, in State v. Epps, essentially abolished the broad common law rights of both bail bondsmen and bounty hunters in Oregon.
In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. But whether you can bail someone out of jail at any time depends on their situation. When someone is arrested, they have a first appearance soon after.

Most bond agreements include travel restrictions, confining you to a specific geographic area such as your county or state. These limitations are designed to ensure your availability for court dates. If travel is necessary, you must seek prior approval from the court or your bail bondsman.
For example, in California, bail bond records are generally public and accessible via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system.
Bailing someone out of jail who has a history of untrustworthy behavior can create headaches. You're essentially agreeing to put up 10 percent of a bail bond that could be tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of dollars. If they fail to show, then you went to all that extra trouble for nothing.
