How so?
Some businesses may have limited resources and are only able to hire a specific number of employees. They may choose to prioritize candidates who are currently employed as they may have more relevant experience and skills.
In most cases, it is legal for businesses to reject applications from the unemployed. However, there may be certain laws or regulations in place that prohibit discrimination against individuals based on their employment status.
Unemployed individuals can focus on building their skills and experience through internships, volunteer work, or freelance projects. They can also network and reach out to connections in their desired industry for potential job opportunities.
Businesses can implement policies and procedures that promote equal opportunity for all applicants, regardless of their employment status. This can include conducting blind screenings of resumes and providing clear job descriptions to attract a diverse pool of candidates.
Programs and initiatives can be created to provide training and resources for unemployed individuals, such as job readiness workshops and career counseling. Government support and incentives can also be implemented to encourage businesses to hire individuals who have been unemployed for an extended period of time.
