Today’s Required Competencies, Skills, and Employment Expectations

Abstract

For employers to suggest that people are not desirable because they have lost a job, particularly as a blanket statement and point of view, is questionable behavior. While technology has dramatically changed the methodology for screening applicants, during my years in human resources, it was never assumed that you would summarily dismiss communicating with a candidate regarding his or her status. But in today’s economy not receiving feedback from a potential employer seems to be the status quo, despite how many attempts one may make to follow-up.
