A lot of employers are trying so hard to automate the emploee selection process and those tests are one way to do it. It doesn't make sense. My wife was out of work for over a year and we tried googling the answers to those personality tests like "when did you set a goal and achieve it" but no one really knows what the right answer is. Numbers of long-term unemployed are pretty high in some states like Washington D.C. (50.0 percent), New Mexico (45.3 percent) and New Jersey (41.4 percent), according to Governing Magazine. So I guess sometimes it does pay to move. I feel for you man.Maurice Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338165486757095191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651058317830668643.post-77504016212859162082015-08-05T17:59:09.076-04:002015-08-05T17:59:09.076-04:00I've gone through long periods of unemployment...I've gone through long periods of unemployment before. It really sucks and sometimes you get depressed, but sooner or later I'm sure you'll find something.

I ended up job hopping (not by choice) a few times, which was rather stressful as well. Perhaps you could go back to college and take a class or two to update skills? The IT field is always in demand and combined with accounting could make a good mix. Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922596724107742478noreply@blogger.com
