Today 4.7 million Americans have been unemployed for more than six months. In France more than ten percent of the working population is without work. In Israel its above seven percent. And in Greece and Spain, that number approaches thirty percent. Across the developed world, the experience of unemployment has become frighteningly commonand so are the seemingly endless tactics that job seekers employ in their quest for new work.Flawed System/Flawed Self delves beneath these staggering numbers to explore the world of job searching and unemployment across class and nation. Through indepth interviews and observations at jobsearch support organizations, Ofer Sharone reveals how different labormarket institutions give rise to jobsearch games like Israels rsumbased spec gameswhich are focused on presenting ones skills to fit the joband the chemistry games more common in the United States in which job seekers concentrate on presenting the person behind the rsum. By closely examining the specific daytoday activities and strategies of searching for a job, Sharone develops a theory of the mechanisms that connect objective social structures and subjective experiences in this challenging environment and shows how these different structures can lead to very different experiences of unemployment.
