Job listings say the unemployed need not apply


Hundreds of job opening listings posted on Monster.com and other jobs sites explicitly state that people who are unemployed would be less attractive applicants, with some telling the long-term unemployed to not even bother with applying.

Barring unemployed people from applying does not qualify under the statutory definition of discrimination, since unemployment is not a federally protected status like age or race.

Americans who have been out of work for more than six months to be told they are automatically disqualified for the few openings that are out there.

Yeah, I am getting scared as hell. I have heard this a while ago. I am thinking about returning to my old industry (I hate it with a passion) just to no longer be unemployed. I have been getting calls like crazy, but it's only for jobs in the industry I was laid off from.

Anyone wanna hire an EE who wants to transition back into electronics?

Nonsense. Networking and making established contacts is half the battle. I'm not sure how many people have actually found work from this thread, but, it's not harming anybody.

For the most part, I would say these forums are packed with brilliant, talented individuals. Nothing wrong with a community of like-minded computer and tech geeks trying to help one-another.

Wow, that's pretty...stupid. In a situation like that, why would anyone not lie about their employment history? They would have absolutely nothing to lose.

Hiring seems to be picking up, with the upcoming fall/winter season.

My phone has been blowing up since right before I went to jail a month ago.
I had some awesome leads before jail... But now I'm screwed on anything outside of walking distance, with not having license + insurance.

But still, I'm supposed to look for leads anyway, so...
I recently relocated to Griffith, IN. I don't really know what's up out here, but it does seem a bit closer to Chicago from here, than where I was, so that's good, I suppose.

Get at me on Linkedin: http://linkd.in/h9EzDU
