Ask the experts

I've got what it takes--so why can't I get a job?

Job seeker Bridgette F. asks: “I have tons of job experience for my age (19), along with an extensive resume and amazing references. I have just moved to a new city and… I feel like I'm doing everything in my power to get a job. Why can't I find one?”

Our experts say: Not too long ago there were two unemployed people for every available job. Now? There are six unemployed people for every one open position. In some places that number rises to 17 people for every one open job. Those are some tough odds – even with a flawless resume. But don’t get discouraged.

Here’s what you can do to increase your odds of getting the job

Sound familiar? A lot of experienced job seekers tell us they’re afraid no one will hire them because they’re in their 40s, 50s or 60s. But it’s not your age that’s the problem – it’s what you’re telling employers in your job seeker profile or resume. Do you need a resume facelift?
