15 Good Reasons Why You Are Still Unemployed by feelgoodstuffs(m): 8:20am On Jul 21, 2014 |
15 Good Reasons you are still unemployed. “Why am I still unemployed?” 1. You aren’t networking enough. Almost all jobs these days are found through networking. If you’re applying through job boards, searching the internet, counting on recruiters or responding to want ads.. you’re not doing enough. And as I’ve said elsewhere, your resume is almost useless. 2. You interview poorly. – We have interviewed few people for a job we have open. While this is admittedly, a lower-level position, I’m surprised and shocked at how poorly people interview. Chewing gum, not dressing for the interview, arguing, and saying what you will and won’t do are all interview killers. 3. You’re pierced – Take out those facial piercings! Younger generation workers – this really turns off old farts. I won’t hire someone with a facial pierce or visible tattoo. It is unprofessional. 4. You didn’t shave – don’t go in with one of those “stubble beards” either actually have beard or be clean-shaven. The people who are probably making the hiring decision really really hate the three day stubble beards that are the norm among young men. 5. You’re asking too much money – Look there’s a great reset” going on. Salaries are lower these days. We interviewed one person for a $30k job who had been making $70k. Frankly we are not going to hire someone with that huge of a salary gap. It isn’t the problem of employers; you have lived beyond your means. Everyone is tight these days. Don’t go asking for a large salary and tons of perks. You might as well have to bite the bullet and take much less to get off of the unemployment rolls. 6. You are very overqualified. – Realistically, I’m not going to hire someone with 10+ years of experience with a great deal of responsibility in their last job for an entry- level job. Entry-level jobs will be filled with entry- level people. All you do when you apply for these things is annoy the employer. I know you might be desperate. But it is better to consult or start you own business, than to apply for entry- level jobs. When i see someone with an extensive experience applying for an intern job. I’m not even going to interview you. I know that they’ll be gone in a heartbeat if something if something in field comes along, and that they won’t stay and grow in the company. 7. You smoke. – Many of us won’t hire smokers. The smell on their clothes drives off customers. They get sick more often. They take excessive breaks. And, frankly it’s a filthy and disgusting habit. Quit and quit now. You career future, not to mention your life and health, may depend on it. 8. Your attitude stinks. – You might be coming across as having...... http://feelgoodstuffs..com/2014/07/15-good-reasons-you-are-still-unemployed.html?m=1
