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.
Having an experienced lawyer by your side can be the difference between remaining in jail until your trial or being released and being reunited with your friends and family. Don't put your freedom at risk by trying to get through the process without an attorney.
The arrestee's attorney will schedule the hearing and argue their case. Alternatively, a bail bond hearing in California may refer to when a bail bond company contacts the court and requests changes to the bail amount. This is extremely common as it helps defendants get the fairest bail possible.
Judges can use criteria such as the severity of charges or allegations, criminal history, and warrant history to determine what the bail amount will be after reviewing each individual case.
