Overcoming Unemployment Discrimination
Recent articles in the New York Times and Forbes have discussed the increasingly common phenomenon of employers running ads only for job applicants who are currently employed or are only “recently unemployed”. The implication here, of course, is that applicants who are currently enduring long-term unemployment need not apply. And while this practice is clearly discriminatory, it’s not illegal – at least, not yet. The Obama Administration’s Jobs Bill contains provisions that would make this type of discriminatory hiring practice illegal, but even with such a provision, only the language of the posts on job boards is likely to change.… [Continue Reading]

Tax Credits for Hiring Veterans
In the midst of one of the worst economic downturns in U.S. history, it can be hard to get overly excited about like a single purposeful initiative, but if we can put on the blinders for a moment and take a closer look at the current efforts for “re-introducing” veterans of the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan into the workplace, there are some relevant, positive developments to be explored. I had read recently that many such veterans went overseas without much worry about what they would do upon their return to the states. After all, going into a war… [Continue Reading]

Amidst Terrible Job Market, Part Time Jobs are Popular
In the throes of the worst economic downturns since the Great Depression, the talk has focused on a few key metrics that are used to measure the economy as a whole. Of particular focus in the media are housing sales and prices, GDP growth, consumer confidence and, of course, the unemployment rate. At a stated rate of 9.1% nationally – and in reality much higher than that but for the “interesting” methods the federal government utilizes to calculate the number – the employment situation in the U.S. remains grim. Add to that the massive number of Americans who are “underemployed”… [Continue Reading]
Recruiting Perceptions vs. Recruiting Realities

It’s Friday – Are you Closer to Finding a Job?
Fridays can be tough. When gainfully employed, and generally happy with work, it is most often the happy end of the workweek and the beginning a few days without having to think about going to the office or job site. It’s time to stop thinking about work for a while and spend time with family, friends or simply your sofa and an HD television showing a football game. For those who are unemployed, however, Friday is just another angst-inducing day. A reminder that another week has passed without gainful employment being attained. And since weekends are generally a bad time… [Continue Reading]
CNA Positions as a Way to Launch a Health Care Career
For those considering entering the health care field, especially as a nurse, there is perhaps no greater career steppingstone that that of a certified nursing assistant, or CNA. This position is roughly akin to that which was once termed an “orderly” and the job typically entails the type of patient care that would be handled by a nurse except for the legal issues involved in patient care. Things like assisting with the use of walkers, canes and wheelchairs, attending to patients’ needs, changing dressings and other tasks that one would typically associate with patient care from the nursing profession. For… [Continue Reading]
