With such a large pool of job seekers available who were laid off due to "lack of work" It is almost a immediate disqualifier. If you were fired from any job, I would remove it from your resume. If it leaves to big a gap on your resume, you may have to start thinking outside the box. With so many overqualified applicants looking for lower paying, or entry level jobs, any blemish on your resume is a serious handicap. Put yourself in the employers shoes for a sec.. Would you rather hire a experienced, individual with a impeccable work record who was laid off from downsizing, or somebody who got themselves fired on their resume? There is a survey that says nearly 20% of Americans were fired or forced to resign a job in the last 10 years. With this being the worse economy since the great depression, it is no wonder that companies like this are springing up on the internet. http://careerexcuse.com Capitalism at it's worse.

Who is the cause for this so called economic slow down, we including me. We made it this way, every citizen is responsible the way things are gone and is currently going,for those who still have their jobs needs to work more smarter and not harder and those who have lost theirs just give up hope there are lots of job opportunities coming up its just the matter of time and I'm sure tits all going to get back to normal. Just keep learning the market trends and keep updating yourselves on wat happening around so that when you attend an i nterview you would have pretty good knowledge on what ever field you're concentrating on. Just keep fighting guys n gals and it will happen. The word recession is just an excuse to most people, just na excuse to stop working and start blaming the current market and economic trend.

Other companies are cancelling reward trips - ours get better! Our industry thrives during recessions, and the incomes of the people involved are growing. Take a look and get back to us.
