Unemployed job-seekers: an underrated talent?

Article Abstract:

Unemployed job-seekers are generally perceived by employers as less desirable than employed applicants. Unemployed are perceived as nervous, anxious, defensive, guilty, aggressive, and depressed. Bring these attitudes to job interviews considerably lessens the applicants' chances of success, particularly with those managers who are unfamiliar with the job market. Employers worry about the reasons why someone is unemployed and suspect the worst, failing to consider the technological and economic upheaval around them. Many of the unemployed have been laid off for just such reasons as technological redundancy or corporate reorganization. The unemployed are frequently highly skilled individuals who are available immediately and should not be overlooked.
