Lack Of Benefits

Many people have experienced what it’s like to work from home and have been successfully doing so. They want the flexibility to do so in the future, yet many employers are saying, “It’s my way or the highway.”

More and more workers are choosing the highway. Can you afford to stand your gro...

Money matters. The people who say it doesn’t have money. Job seekers want to be fairly compensated for the work they do.

Some will be quickly snapped up by organizations that hire more swiftly, and others will refuse to work somewhere solely based on the applicant experience.

Less “desirable” candidates can’t get a second look. I’m not talking about people who have served prison sentences for robbing a bank. I’m referring to mature workers, people with disabilities and military veterans.
