PROBLEM 1: BIAS AGAINST UNEMPLOYED JOB SEEKERS

There is a bias against unemployed people. To paraphrase one of my econ professors from UCLA on the first day of classes one quarter (but please try to read this slowly, with the intonation of a 1950s- or 1960s-era news anchor, if you know what I mean: it's how he spoke, and helps you imagine the comic effect it had in our lecture hall):

Remember: it is always easier to find a job when you have a job. It is exactly like dating: it is always easier to find a new girl when you have a girlfriend. Nobody wants to date you if you are single, and nobody wants to hire you if you are jobless.

Never mind that the guys in the class died laughing while the girls gasped in horror, Prof was right. On both counts. Come on, guys: you know you always get more attention when you've got a girlfriend than when you're single; and girls, you know it always seems like you're more drawn to a guy who turns out to be taken than one who is single. It's just the weird ways we humans are programmed, I suppose.

And so it is with employers too, apparently: in July 2011, we commented on a Huffington Post article (Employers Still Ruling Out Jobless Applicants: Report) in our blog, noting that

Employers are only willing to consider job seekers that are currently employed but looking for a change of scene. But that's a bit like offering a Big Mac to someone who just finished a 16 ounce filet mignon and a glass of merlot. It just doesn't make any sense. (Unemployment is permanent: how employers are explicitly discriminating against the unemployed.

So the short of it is, yes, there is tremendous bias against the unemployed, just as there's a subconscious aversion to dating someone who seems perpetually undesired by others. But whether this is an example of tasteless corporate strategy or fundamental failings with our frail human emotion (read: misplaced biases), and whether such innate human impulses are right or wrong misses the point entirely:

The problem is inefficient matching between job seekers and relevant jobs, not that the unemployed are -- obviously -- looking for jobs in the first place.

PROBLEM 2: PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE JOB POSTING COSTS

The other critically huge problem -- but tragically often overlooked -- is that it's simply too expensive for most companies to post most of their jobs: $50 to $500 per job posting for 30 days is absurd.

Who comes up with these numbers, anyway? The point is that most jobs aren't necessarily even posted; this hugely limits the number of (seemingly) available positions. This problem is not helped by our sensationalist media claiming a dearth of job openings. It's simply not true.

SOME GREAT ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS

Fortunately, there are some great alternative strategies to keep in mind to work around this absurd and unfortunate paradox:

LinkedIn.
Make sure your LinkedIn profile (and résumé) is up to date
Accuracy. Make sure that your credentials are accurately listed -- try to avoid padding your skill sets and experience as much as possible.

Selective.
Most importantly, stop applying en masse to every single job posting you find: be selective, and apply only to those jobs for which you think you are a genuinely good fit; no this will not increase your chances of landing work faster, but it will reduce your application workload and stress levels during this burdensome time in your life

Would you hire you?
Ask yourself whether you would hire yourself for the job to which you're applying, and be honest!

Skiing test.
Not sure whether you're being honest? Apply the skiing test: you're a green (beginner) skier, and in front of you is a double-black diamond (super-duper expert / you will die if you aren't experienced enough) ... are you actually good enough to go down that double-black? Use the same thought process for applying to jobs: are you actually good enough for that job?

Network.
network, network network: use your friends and existing networks to hook you up! This one cannot be overemphasized.

Other tips that might be of help -Curtis Rutherford

*You'll interview better for your dream job if you're a job holder. If you can stomach it, get an easy-to-nab transitional job. It may help to think of it in these terms: when you are looking for work, the time is going to pass anyway. You can job search with minimal income and a set routine; or you can job search with no income facing oceans of time and lots to worry about. Next...

*Get healthily obsessed with career-specific activities: volunteer, maintain a relevant blog, take (inexpensive) classes, rack up tangential certifications at your local community college -- ANYTHING -- as long as there's activity that you can talk about in an interview and add to your resume that covers your unemployment/transitional job gap.

*Go out and "rack up rejections." Sounds contrary but check out this WaPo article on gamification and dealing with rejection:
