“Most executive recruiters won’t look at a candidate unless they have a job, even if they don’t like to admit to it,” said Lisa Chenofsky Singer, a human resources consultant from Millburn, NJ, specializing in media and publishing jobs.

“They think you must have been laid off for performance issues,” she said, adding that this is a “myth” in a time of high unemployment.
