More proof that companies and their HR departments are at the helm with their heads up their asses:

The No. 1 thing HR won't tell you: "Once you're unemployed more than six months, you're considered pretty much unemployable. We assume that other people have already passed you over, so we don't want anything to do with you." So even if you lost your job because your company or its "leaders" mismanaged the company into the toilet and you're unable to get another job because (1) there are numerous other companies out of business because they were also mismanaged and/or (2) there are only so many available jobs and unemployment is at its highest rate in years, it's YOUR fault.
I love how the article recommends to "go straight to the hiring manager" but then says "walking in and dropping off your resume is no longer seen as a good thing. It's actually a little creepy." So which is it? And have you ever tried getting the name and information of the hiring manager for ANY job? It would be easier to grow back my wisdom teeth.
