Applying to Places Not Hiring: A Wise Move or Not?

Are you in desperate need of a job? If you are currently unemployed or if you genuinely think that your current job is making you “crazy,” you may be. When it comes to finding a new job, especially in a hurry, many individuals think that the more job applications they fill out or, the more resumes they submit, the better their chances of finding a new job are. But, what about the employers who are currently not hiring? If you are wondering whether or not you should fill out a job application or submit your resume to a place that isn’t hiring, you are not alone.

When it comes to determining whether or not you should submit a job application or drop off your resume to a place that isn’t hiring, several important factors need to be considered. Perhaps, the most critical factor is if you know for sure they are not hiring.

When filling out job applications, many applicants try and determine, upfront, whether or not there are any positions available. If you happen to stop by a local business or call to ask about hiring and get a negative response, you may not want to apply anyways, especially if you gave your name. This creates a wrong impression, stating that you don’t necessarily listen to what you are being told.
