What do successful job seekers do that separates them from their less successful counterparts? Here's the book that provides 127 answers to that question. In fact, millions of job seekers face employment barriers. While some barriers may be caused by other people (discrimination) or circumstances beyond one's control (chronic health issues or natural disasters), most barriers represent self-inflected red flags, poor choices, questionable skills, sketchy experience, and difficult personalities. Few job seekers are victims of a lousy job market, bad employers, or dumb luck. It's a candidate's own cumulative red flags or potholes in life - job hopping, incarceration, termination, time gaps, negative attitudes, and limited education, skills, and experience - that make employers suspicious, hesitant, reluctant, and then resistant to interview and hire such risky people. Similar to addictions, old habits are difficult to break, and denial prevents many people from changing their red flag behaviors. But few employment barriers are ever insurmountable. Most self-inflicted barriers pose challenges that require changes in attitudes and mindsets - renewed understanding, purpose, determination, and the drive to succeed. |
