Jobseekers advised to update CVs during credit crunch

10.10.2008

Job seekers are being advised to keep their CVs updated and to put them online to attract employers.

The financial situation in the UK is causing unemployment levels to rise, so candidates are having to fight even harder for positions, according to onrec.com.

Creating an online CV is one way for employers to recruit people quickly and easily with all the information they need available in one place.

Job hopefuls are also advised to keep their applications updated so they stand out from the crowd.

Karl Gregory, marketing director at iProfile.org, said it wasn't all "doom and gloom" as there "will always be a demand for strong candidates".

Barclays is one company still looking to take on new recruits as the bank has just announced it will be launching a second Proactive Telephony Centre in Liverpool, onrec.com reported.
