'The Unemployed Will Not Be Considered'

[tommymac]

Thats a tough call. I can see their reasoning since many of the unemployed may not be good at what they do, or may be looking for jobs their either over or underqualified for and may not want to sift through so many applicants to find that good worker like rae mentioned.

In the case where a company shuts it's doors, yeah it's a bad situation. But usually through networking if they are good at what they do, they will get picked up somewhere without having to scan a million job postings. Again if you are good in the engineering industry, you have friends somewhere.

As far as blue collar or retail jobs it's entirely different. But this article was not directed at that sector.

The job situation in my profession is prety good. I have actualy turned down other job offers because they werent 100% of what I wanted, but fortunatley I am in a position where I can do that.

For the new grads its tough though esp in the ER, many want people with expierence so they wont even look at new grads. Then they look for side gigs and its the same story. We have 2 new PA's in the ER and they heard about my side job and are constantly asking me to get them in. One I would consider in a few years as shes progressing niceley but the other is def a work in progress.

I'm not even looking for work and I average 2-3 calls a week plus another 4-5 emails from companies looking. If you are experienced it isn't that hard. New grads, yeah it's very had because you don't have a proven track record.

My new grad engineer friend found work rather quickly, my senior engineerr friends can't. They are EEs

And every major eng firm in Houston Is down most over 50 %, must be a lot of sucky engineers out there.

I have my resume posted on online. You never know when you'll need to look OR if an unexpected better opportunity comes along.
