Six out of ten CV’s which are prepared by Information Technology professionals fail to meet the basic standards and are turned down without even being read fully, according to a recruitment company. As a consequence, thousands of candidates are excluding themselves from attractive job opportunities.

Although the company handles over 60,000 CV’s per year, it estimates that at least 60% would not be admitted if they were sent directly to potential clients due to basic errors.

The company Marketing Director said, “Sadly it’s often the most highly qualified candidates whose CV’s are so poorly constructed that they are literally dead on arrival. Attractive job opportunities in the IT industry often generate intense competition and there is often little to choose between the candidates”.

“Advice on the presentation format of CV’s in relation to the requirements that they are being submitted for should be an Industry standard so as to add real value to the candidates that you are representing and indeed to fulfil your professional obligations to your clients”.

“Writing a CV can be extremely difficult and too often a CV turns out to be a generic overview including a lot of information that is irrelevant. People should remember that an employer typically spends between 15 and 30 seconds scanning each CV and you have that one chance to make an impression”.

“A good CV is more than just documentation of your career path; it is a marketing tool designed to present your professional career experience according to the new job specification. It should also include details of past professional successes that effectively demonstrate your ability to undertake the job responsibilities outlined”.

The Last Night of the World

The Last Night of the World… I can’t even imagine what to do after learning such news. Knowing me, I know that in the first minutes I will panic, and then I will understand that it will not be so scary. First of all, I would warmly hug the most precious people in my life. And then, if there was time, I would spend the money that I had saved for many years to fulfill my goals. I would fulfill my small, interesting wishes, for example, I would fly with a parachute…

Summer holidays

Summer is my favorite season, not because of the summer holidays, but because I go to my grandmother’s house in the summer. There is so much clean air and no phone addiction.  During this time, life is like a fairy tale, especially under the song of birds.
An interesting incident happened to me this summer.  I generally don’t like to go to the food store for shopping, but this summer, just 3 days after going to the village, I voluntarily went to the store to buy coffee.
I heard the sound of a dog on the road, I looked a little left and right, and he was right in front of me.  I waited 30 minutes and more to understand if he was alone and no one came after him.  The dog had already fallen asleep from exhaustion and hunger.
A little later, I called my uncle and first we took the dog to be checked, to my surprise, our little friend was completely healthy.  For 2 months now, he has been a little member of our family and a great joy.
