Millions of Americans are facing discrimination for being long-term unemployed—here’s how to fight back:

The companies tend to view large gaps in employment as a worrisome red flag. In today’s job market, it's easy for corporate personnel involved with the hiring process to immediately pass on a person who gives off the slightest whiff of being a potential human resources issue. The long-term unemployed person has lost their self-confidence. Tensions at home over finances have reached a fevered pitch. They’re concerned about what their friends and neighbors think.

I’ve seen this story play out innumerable times. The interviewee can’t contain their resentment, bitterness and anger over having been let go and unemployed for such a long time. Invariably, they’ll say something less than complementary about their former boss and co-workers. They can’t make eye contact and fidget in their seats. The fear of blowing yet another interview is debilitating. They’re at the point where they expect to fail, since it keeps happening.

Find some hobbies to get your mind off of the search. Work out at the gym. Go for a run. Take up a sport. Join some clubs. Do something that you are good at to build up your confidence. Take care of your mental, emotional and spiritual self.
