Okay Hiring Managers Are Jerks But We Can Fix This We Got This

GREAT NEWS JOB SEEKERS: “Employers would rather call back someone with no relevant experience who’s only been out of work for a few months than someone with lots of relevant experience who’s been out of work for longer than six months.”

JERKS. But: I think there are some ways to use this information in your job search in a way that does not involve OUTRIGHT LYING. LIKE: Do something while you are unemployed. Temp one time, or babysit one time, walk some dogs, do some volunteering. Mow some lawns. Submit essays to places. Then put that stuff on your resume. CONTRACT WORK, is an impressive set of words. You can do it! I believe in you.
