The Danger of the Job

For America's "99ers," jobs crisis is hard to escape - Yahoo! Finance

Yahoo finance isn't only giving Slowlane advice, but are also posting people who are victimized of the Slowlane. :smx4:

So again, don't rely on a job. Find and fulfill a need. I think this lady would benefit of a lot from reading TMF . :rtfm:

The thing about these stories that gets me is the people say they've applied to hundreds or even thousands of jobs online and haven't been hired. Do they ever consider that applying to jobs online might not be a good way to find a job? That they're going to have to do something different than everyone else sitting at home blanketing job boards with generic "please hire me" pleas?

Did it ever cross their minds that, after a few months of not finding work, that their current skill set might need some improvement and take some steps to make themselves a better candidate for the jobs that are available? I'm willing to bet that in those two years of unemployment neither one of these "victims of the recession" has developed one new marketable skill.

The mindset that all you can do is sit around and wait for someone else to provide a job for you is exactly why these people aren't getting hired in the first place. Who wants to hire someone who thinks they deserve a job just because they can hit "send" in Outlook?
