HR departments MAY have to alter their standards to get employees into their companies
After seeing some articles that have come out recently, and having chatted with a few people on the subject, it would appear that hiring managers looking to fill positions within today's companies MAY have to change their mindset to get the best people for the job. Company heads complain that they can't find qualified prospects to fill technical positions, yet HR departments are disqualifying good applicants based on less then perfect credit ratings or length of breaks in employment. Something has to give here.
Hiring managers could be VERY selective about who they hired when the recent recession was at it's worst. There were 50 or 100 applicants for every open position, and HR people could be extremely choosy about who they called back for an interview. But now, many people who WERE looking for a job at that time have either gotten work elsewhere, retired, or simply given up looking for any work at all. The pool of good job candidates is smaller then it once was, and many of those people HAVE been unemployed for lengthy periods. That doesn't mean they should be discounted outright, without even so much as a callback for an interview.
If corporate execs and managers want good people working for them, they need to hold their HR department's feet to the fire, and make sure EVERY good candidate at least gets a shot at getting hired.

So, what's YOUR goal in life?
I ask this question from, perhaps, a slightly different perspective then most. It's a well known fact that truly successful people ALWAYS have goals and priorities, and a plan to achieve both. Well, up until very recently, I had no need for any plan like that, because I had not SET any goals for myself. Frankly, life was just carrying me along, and I let it take me where it would. I had spent a lot of time living my life for other people, and not really thinking about myself or what I wanted. Frankly, I didn't even KNOW what I wanted from life.
That all changed recently, when I met someone who challenged me to think outside myself; to think BIGGER. Now I find myself with a purpose, and a REAL reason for waking up every day and doing all the hard things right along with the little things. Was my life meaningless before 6 months ago? No, not by a long shot. To my children, I mean a LOT. To my other family members and friends, I am loved and and well respected. But NOW, I have decided to find out just how far I can take this life. I have decided to take control of it, instead of it controlling me.
But, you probably figured that out by the number of times you can count the word *I* in the last two paragraphs.
So, what's my goal in life? To build a business that helps put the unemployed back to work. To learn how to create that business from scratch, and pass that knowledge on to others. (such as my children, if that's what they choose to do) To build relationships with people that will fortify me (and them) for the rest of my life. To make this world a slightly better place to live for both myself and everyone else I come in contact with. That's that I want to do.
