The New World Order - "unemployed need not apply" (work, state)

[Opyelie]

This is the way it's going nowadays - then we get told as unemployed it's OUR fault we can't get hired? I think not.

The article goes onto say that it was changed but you go to the job posting and it says the same thing but in different wording. lol

Well, unfortunately for them, we're unemployed, NOT stupid. I for one (once I am in a financially viable position again that is) will be boycotting this company and never buying their products again.

Apparently for SOME employers, unemployed equals not wanted.

Wow- that's disgusting!

[OHGreat]

I see they finally pulled the posting, My guess is they were still getting flack for their wording.

What is disturbing is that I have seen a few job listings noted as saying: "Current Working Experience Only". This is really scary because I have thought all along that employers are weaning out these resumes doing the very same thing, just not advertising it. Yes, kick us while we are already down!!!

Or I see advertisements where you must have a "stable work history". In these times, with so many people getting laid off and/or unable to find work, it is hard to maintain a stable work history.

It is getting beyond ridiculous.

I live in GA and it was all over the news, they pulled the add, but you know that policy is still in effect, they just aren't advertising it.

This company got a HUGE tax break for moving to GA, but our worthless state government who cooked up the tax break, didn't think to add a caveat that a certain percentage of those jobs had to be from the GA unemployed pool and those 180 jobs will probably have staff imported from out of state

How can one have a stable work history if you can't find a job

I've started volunteering at the Red Cross just to put something down on my resume and I wish I'd thought of it sooner It might not be PAID work but it is work all the same and I can get a reference from my supervisor.

I DID have a stable work history until 2 years ago.

I'm sick of the mind set that we are bums.

Now thats a opening for a dissemination lawsuit if I ever heard of one!
