After recruiting for some time I learned to look for candidates crossing their fingers, looking away, when you ask critical questions…so you understand that at some point your seniority in the bargaining unit will dictate that you have your relocate and are prepared for this this? And the absolute hardest part to read, does the candidate actually want to “work”. So advice for a candidate, sure you got basic requirements for the job, convince me you are a reliable worker. Great job on this Article. You might enjoy this piece… https://kevinguiney.substack.com/p/are-you-a-good-employee
Well, I guess that leaves most anyone who is older, has had a few health challenges, has commented on a board, or significant gaps in work for any reason jobless. Just more reasons why American business has gone to complete moneylosing dysfunctional crap. Thanks and no thanks for the "advice".
Not offering "advice," just offering reality. How you choose to deal with the realities you face throughout your job search is entirely on you. This post was written for those who are open to considering strategic ways to navigate the realities of job searching in 2025 by making themselves appear less of a risk to employers. If you were an employer, would you hire someone you thought was a "risky hire"?

Many people I know deliver measurable results, adding value to their employers' bottom lines; their professionalism makes them low-risk. It's all about being aware of how you're presenting yourself to employers.
Navigating the realities of today’s job market, rather than complaining or getting angry about them, is the key to getting hired.

It has nothing to do with ability or delivering results. Be low risk and mediocre.
