….or feckless w@nkers<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Hello, it\u2019s been a couple of weeks – what with half -term and next to sweet naff all to write about I thought it prudent not to just churn out any old guff and to see if I could get the creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And by lucky chance the BBC chose to release a report about how 25% of people between the age of 16 and 64 aren\u2019t looking for work – they are either settled in their roles or they are retired and don\u2019t need to comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours truly, duly commented about this and had quite the response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what does it mean to be one of the 75% who are actively looking – this is surely a good thing? Less people looking means that you are more likely to get the job you want – doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except, it really doesn\u2019t feel that way at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You apply for a role and you either don\u2019t get an interview or you get the interview but don\u2019t get the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the reason why, the firms who are recruiting don\u2019t understand that it\u2019s a candidate led market. It has been for over 6 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite me knowing this. And now you knowing this. The people who do the hiring don\u2019t know this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore when they have a few applications they decide to wait until someone better comes along\u2026 and they wait and wait and wait\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It leads to a frustrating experience for you, a frustrating experience for the client and a waste of time for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question is, what can you do to stand out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a boring answer but look at your CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bet the only alterations you have made on it are the ones when you were last promoted or moved jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it doesn\u2019t interest you, then it\u2019s not going to interest the hiring manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you included some of the essential qualities needed for the vacancy you are hiring for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you can start to see the issue. A little more effort and you will stand out like a new pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need help with the next steps of your career and the frustration of not getting any further then do get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am starting up a mentoring programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
