Summary
Millions of individuals face numerous barriers to finding and keeping a job. While a few barriers, such as discrimination, health, or disabilities, may be caused by other people or beyond one's control, most barriers result from red flags individuals create themselves (job hopping, incarceration, termination, limited education, few skills, no experience) as well as the poor choices and mistakes they make. Recognizing negatives that may be detrimental to the workplace, employers avoid interviewing and hiring individuals whom they perceive as lacking the proper attitudes and behaviors for success in their organizations.
