Most people are putting out resumes before they are actually let go and spend their unemployment time putting out resumes and interviewing. However, if a business won’t hire me because I’ve been out of a job for month, even though I’ve been looking for a job even before my time was up, what else exactly am I supposed to do?
Let’s face it, most businesses to day are managed by lawyers and bean counters from the HQ thousands of miles away. Policy is policy and the local guys have no flexibility of decision making. I’m betting that’s where alot of this is coming from.
A college student who went to school fully on the government dime...won’t be hired by me.
An unemployed person who got all their job training compliments of their previous employer...won’t be hired by me.
The person who demonstrates they are willing to invest in themselves and their future...that is the person I want to sit down and talk too.
