5 people for one job opening. 4 won't get hired, and according to you, it's all their faults, not corporations who sent their jobs overseas or the politicians that passed laws to encourage it.

There is no benefit to you personally, for these people to be disenfranchised. The economy that this occured in is bad for us all. There is only so much you can blame on personal responsibility before you HAVE to acknowledge the truth. Corporate America screwed the rest of America and got away with it.


I'm aware that math and logic usually hold true more frequently than stereotypes. You can keep trying to make conclusions about me but you'll still end up missing the target and look like a douchenozzle doing so.

Momma always told me not to stereotype.... However, they exist because *often* times they are true and hold enough significance to the point that they are valid (to a degree, not always, but sometimes yes).

I understand the job environment is getting more and more difficult due to globalization..However, if all these companies are outsourcing work, it doesn't change the playing field for all the potential applicants within the US. We're all fighting for the same domestic jobs whether there are 4 openings per every 5 potential applicants or this 1:5 ratio you have a fetish about. Yes, it blows that there are fewer jobs available. That's not the unemployed's fault. THE INDIVIDUAL IS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR PRESENTING THEMSELVES AS THE BEST AVAILABLE CANDIDATE, NO MATTER HOW MANY COMPETITORS ARE SEEKING THE SAME JOB..... What part of this don't you understand?

Globalization/outsourcing reduces the amount of domestic jobs available, but applicants still have to show they are more worthy of employment than every other applicant, whether there are jobs galore or slim pickings... That's what you don't understand. I'm not blaming the unemployed for the lack of jobs available. That part sucks and there's not a lot we can do to change that, at least in any hurry. But whether I'm applying for a job against 1000 people or just one other person, it's still my responsibility to market myself better and present myself better than the other person(s). The amount of jobs per applicants is irrelevant. YOUR STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR OUT-COMPETING THE OTHER APPLICANTS, AND THAT IS IRREGARDLESS OF HOW MANY JOBS ARE OPEN AND HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU ARE COMPETING AGAINST..

All along I've said this Aunty. You seem to think that because there are fewer jobs available that it's someone else's fault for not getting hired. The typical blame game bull$hit where it's always some elses fault. Life's a b!tch, no one said it was easy. Sack up and outwork the bull$hit and blame yourself for you own shortcomings. America is getting so soft and the people are becoming such pussies that everyone looks to blame someone else any time they come up short.
