All too often, those at the sharp end of the axe feel it's their fault - that they did something wrong. I hear it all the time from my executive clients. But, more often than not, just as you say, it's not about them. I love that you showed the positive side by listing how some of your fellow layoff graduates transitioned to new opportunities. I hope they're working their passions now! Meg Guiseppi Job-Hunt's Personal Branding Expert With people feeling demoralized and devastated by a layoff, this post brings a ray of hope, Susan.

Joyce Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:02:32 +0000 http://www.job-hunt.org/job-search-news/?p=130#comment-355 If the exact number of years of experience in one area is the ONLY requirement not met or exceeded, then, yes, I would recommend that the job seeker pursue the job, too. No question that jobs are posted with unrealistic, if not impossible, requirements, but job seekers aren’t going to be the ones that help the employer see the errors in their specifications. They have no credibility because they have a clear conflict of interest. Someone else will need to point out the problem. However, for job seekers who don't meet all of the other requirements, however unrealistic, their applications will be ignored unless: * They’ve networked their way to the hiring manager so the application is just a formality. * The cover letter convincingly connects the dots for HR and the hiring manager enabling the applicant to make it through that particular screen. We could discuss the value and relevance of experience all day, but the bottom line is that employees with more experience should out-perform employees with less experience. They should be more highly paid, but worth it. As usual, of course, your mileage may vary. Thanks for your thoughtful comments.
