Jun 13, 2018 at 18:27 comment added user53651 @stannius yeah, they don't even mention interview rates and instead focus on job landing rates, which are incredible low when using the internet anyway.
Jun 13, 2018 at 18:10 comment added stannius @Steve I found this article but it's probably one of the clickbaits you were referring to qz.com/955079/…
Jun 13, 2018 at 17:43 comment added user53651 @stannius never mind, buzzfeed clickbaiting has ruined the internet. I only found one chart and it was pretty useless.
Jun 13, 2018 at 17:30 comment added user53651 @stannius a chart explaining the difference between people who have stay at each job for 2-5 years and ones who don't that was posted on a slack team I'm with. The graph looked startling, but a glance at the actual scale proved otherwise. It really doesn't make that much of a difference, about 2%. Really, if you're having trouble finding a job, it's just because you're not that hireable. Blaming the difficulty on how long you stayed at a job or leaving before you had another job is just an excuse. I'll look for a resource about interview rates for job hunters that aren't currently employed.
Jun 13, 2018 at 16:50 comment added stannius @Steve where does that 2% come from?
Jun 13, 2018 at 14:28 comment added user53651 @UKMonkey Yeah, that 2% lower interview rate is massively brutal.... If you had a strong good reason for leaving then being unemployed will be an asset not a hurdle.
Jun 13, 2018 at 13:58 comment added UKMonkey have you ever tried to get a job when you're not employed? Savings are useful, but honestly, not being unemployed helps a lot more.
Jun 13, 2018 at 13:45 comment added user53651 @UKMonkey and now we all know why it's really important to have savings; there might come a time where you just have to bail on your job.
Jun 12, 2018 at 11:02 comment added UKMonkey I wouldn't threaten to leave ever without a job to move to already in the bag. You can never be sure how they're going to react, and "just go then" will leave you in the worst position.
