Just what 15 million unemployed Americans need: another stumbling block placed in their path:
The job, posted on Indeed.com, seemed promising – an opening in Texas for a quality engineer with experience in dimensional gauging and benchtop test equipment, offering up to $62,000 a year.But the advertisement included a caveat: “Client will not consider/review anyone not currently employed regardless of the reason.”
That kind of advertisement does not surprise Ted Fitzer, a laid-off financial controller from Chalfont. It reminds him of one he saw about six months ago for a job “in the financial arena.”
Fitzer was interested until he read the rest of the posting: It said that only employed people need apply. “I was disappointed,” he said, but there was something more than that in his voice.
