Maybe I'm jaded , but I doubt they would give a toss.
BTW You can't ordinarily touch your super when you're unemployed , unless you are prepared to give a big chunk of it away (as access fees and taxes).
And banks are more interested in your debt history than your saving history. Savers as far as they are concerned are not profitable. Heard the term "deadbeat borrowers" = people who pay the entire balance each month on their credit cards .
I know outstanding engineers who've been thrown on the scrapheap when the country is supposed to be short of engineers yet they can't get jobs despite superb CVs and credentials and stacks of experience.
