End Long-Term Unemployment

Long-term unemployment can potentially wreck a person's sense of self-worth and happiness. Unfortunately, some recruiters and employers discredit job seekers who have been out of work for a while, assuming something must be wrong and viewed as undesirable.  Here are some tools to end long-term unemployment.

Is there capacity for career advancement opportunities; do you have a chance to receive more considerable compensation in the future? Is the work-life balance fitting for your lifestyle? How many hours of paid time off will you be eligible for? Does the company offer tuition reimbursement for continued education? Company culture is important. Reading employer reviews will provide you with valuable insight [...]
