The figures released this week showing a reduction in the UK jobless total certainly surprised us and many of the recruiters that we regularly talk to. Whilst we see job seekers for temp and part time jobs finding work relatively easily, particularly in service sectors, the picture is not so rosy elsewhere. Feedback from clients for our CV writing services suggest employers are taking much longer and conducting several interviews sessions before making decisions with the average job hunt in professional sectors now at 7 months. There is good evidence to suggest that fewer candidates are being selected for interview and that recruiters are less willing to accept compromise in the skill set, experience, style, personality and attitude of the candidate. One large retailer looking for buyers stated "The people we want to hire are out there, we will wait until they decide they want to work for us".
Given the situation it is not surprising that the demand for CV Writing has increased this year even after the annual Jan / Feb deluge and we are seeing a marked increase in candidates for interview coaching particularly in sectors such as admin, office and secretarial and some service sectors. The message is make sure your CV is up to scratch and you are totally confident handling ajob interview, if any doubts exist get professional help which is affordable and very efective.
