Unemployed? Then Don't Bother Applying

The blogosphere is in a tizzy over job postings that specify no unemployed people should apply. Go read why you should stop freaking out.

I live in New Zealand, and discriminating against people based on their employment status is illegal, just like discrimination based on gender, race, religion, age, sexual orientation, political affiliation (and five other factors I can't remember right now). That's not to say HR doesn't discriminate in hiring - they just tend to do it on those factors which affect whether or not someone can actually do the job.; June 08, 2010 12:19 AM

That is very bad of you to even think such thoughts. Being evil I, of course, love it.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone thinks about job postings before they are made public.; June 08, 2010 12:41 PM

Ask Me A Question

E-mail me!. There is no way I can answer every question, but give me a try. I admit, I don't know the answer to everything, but I'm mostly willing to pretend I do. Right now I have 472 questions in my queue, so it might be a little while. (I might be exaggerating, just a bit.) To increase your chances of getting your question answered, please limit yourself to two-three reasonably sized paragraphs and try to figure out what your real problem is. Punctuation and capitalization are pluses.
