NO REST FOR THE WEARY

These are from actual "Help Wanted ads --

From a job posting on The People Place, a job recruiting website, by an anonymous electronics company in Angleton, Texas: "CLIENT WILL NOT CONSIDER/REVIEW ANYONE NOT CURRENTLY EMPLOYED REGARDLESS OF THE REASON."

Another job posting on The People Place, by Sony Ericsson: "NO UNEMPLOYED CANDIDATES WILL BE CONSIDERED AT ALL."

A Craigslist ad for assistant restaurant managers in Edgewater, N.J.: "MUST BE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED."

Job posting for a tax manager at an unnamed "top 25 CPA firm" in New York City: "MUST BE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED."

Welcome to the new economy.
