[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hiring Manager Here.

When I see resumes with a big gap in employment or someone who hasn't found something in a year or more, it's usually a flag that there is something wrong with the candidate and I should pass on the resume, given others have obviously been passing for a year or more as well.

Also, short term employments, tells me you have no loyalty to your employer.  If the last 3 jobs you had were each 3-9 months, you're either being asked to leave because you fail or you're leaving for another gig for whatever reason.  The likeliness you would do the same to me if I hired you, is very high, making you a waste of my time.

Smart hiring managers see the games that people try to play.  The ones that don't see it, are the idiotic companies you probably shouldn't work for to begin with.

Also, if you're very seasoned and unemployed for a year and trying to take something entry level to get back in the game, you won't be loyal and you will be over-qualified, and quickly become bored and likely leave.  If you think I'm going to hire you in something entry-level and magically recognize your talent and bump you up to Mid/Sr level management, you're wrong.[/quote]

Ugh. It's this attitude that has made it so hard for many perfectly qualified people to find work. Does "hiring manager," understand that labor force participation is at a historic low? Seriously (and I have a job) bugs me when some h.r. hack  throws their weight around saying they won't hire unemployed people. Hang in their OP and keep applying ... listen to the other people on this forum who got jobs through persistence rather than listening to "hiring manager." It's tough out there but perserverence wins the day. [/quote]

Plus 1000 correct. There is nothing wrong ... in this job market ... with people who haven't found work.[/quote]

Exactly! Hiring Manager - perhaps you should lose your job tomorrow and see how it feels to be unemployed for 12 months or more.  Let's see if other hiring managers will give you a chance. Your haughtiness just shows how myopic you are. [/quote]
