I totally agree with K. Williams on this one. The ball is in the employer’s court for sure. They know it and they will take this opportunity to land more experience for less money becuase they can. Back in the day it was great to be able to walk into an establishment and talk with someone in person. This new way of job searching just does not seem natural. So much red tape involved just to apply, send your cover letter & resume & then not even get a courtesy response back. I wonder what these companies will do when the economy starts to become strong again and there are more jobs available. What will these overqualified underpaid employees do if they are once again given better opportunities? I think those companies who took advantage of this job market just may find themselves in a bind.

Considering the fact that businesses and companies have no problem lying to you about the job, benefits, hours, etc. I don’t see any reason to always tell the truth. Companies can tell you anything they want regardless of how off base they are, of course you won’t know until you go to work for them. This has happened to me several times over the years. They can tell you what ever they want and can not be held accountable for any lies or misleading info they may give. I don’t think they need to know any more then necessary as it relates to the job. Right now the ball is in their court, way more people needing jobs then there is jobs, so the employers can do what they want. I miss the good old days, talk in person with the person that does the hiring, discuss your experience, answer a few pertinent questions and then end with “can you start Monday?”
