‘Job-Ready’ or ‘Likely to be Chosen’?

The legacy ‘Job Readiness Model’ fails job seekers facing systemic barriers — and it fails the Employment Services Sector.

Résumé workshops, job boards, and “compete harder” messaging can’t fix a system that was never built for equity. Job-readiness is treated like a neutral starting line, but it’s not.

Many are excluded even when they check all the boxes, and others are held back by structural barriers like racism, precarity, and empty fridges — conditions that make stability out of reach. Does your résumé writing fix this? If not, it’s time to reimagine our services.
