[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am looking at resumes right now. Two things: It is a red flag if someone isn't working currently. I tend to put these resumes in a second tier because I'm uncertain why they are unemployed. Often i never have to look at the second tier pool, because I find good candidates to interview in my preferred pool. Second, the longer someone is unemployed, the worse their resume looks to me. If you've gone more than a few months, you're in the reject. This means that you need a plan (and I don't mean a "I'll collect unemployment" plan) that keeps you from falling into the reject pool. Maybe you could line up office temping or have a volunteer post that you've already lined up with a project that is meaningful to your line of work? In sum, I'd be very cautious to quit without another job lined up.[/quote] Hopefully you don't work in DC as it is illegal to discriminate against someone based on their employment status.[/quote]
