Recently I noticed on various websites that bring up the economy and the jobless rate for the United States. For the most part everyone is in agreement that we are not coming out of the recession as quickly as people would love especially the politicians who have put their necks out with making promised that it looks like they cannot keep.
This is due to the fact that on many websites it is coming out that there are companies some of them large international ones that have started screening the resumes to see who is currently employed. If they find a resume where they show that the individual is not currently employed, then they disregard that individual resume in favor of one who is actively trying to do a lateral move or advance their career while still currently employed.
Where it is the individual company's prerogative to hire who they want, then I would suggest that the unemployed use the same mentality against those companies who are starting to say "unemployed need not apply" and boycott those companies when and where ever possible in an attempt to say to those companies, "If I'm not worth your company's time, then your product is not worth my time".
