Job Hunting

I'm back in the job hunt and things apparently aren't good. There are a lot of people out of work and not enough jobs. On top of that, there are reports of employers not even considering hiring anyone who is unemployed. Older workers are getting shafted, too. There's an enormous talent pool out there and these idiots are ignoring it. I don't get their attitude. If someone wants to work, fits the skill set and can start ASAP, what difference does it make if they're employed or not. As someone who's out of work, I can guarantee any employer that I will show up on time, work my ass off and not gripe about anything, except maybe the sky high price of gas. Get with it, people. We want to work, we're ready to work and you need our skills.
