The unemployed are the new class of 'EWWWWW'. We don't get call backs, we don't get told why we aren't eligible and our resumes go straight to the shredder.
Most of us try the new tricks of listing our involvement in volunteer work, college (if you attend) and 'dumbing down' our resumes.
Really doesn't work though; potential employers will call your last place of employment to find out your last day of work and then exclude you from their short-list.
Not only are more companies moving to online applications and submittals of resumes, they are also doing 'testing.' *snort* Try to do some of the tests for say example Taco Bell. You are timed on the answers and if you answer honestly, you get screened out....
