With many employers still reporting a discrepancy between candidates’ skills base and the job attributes necessary, this year’s graduates will need an acute awareness of their own individual employability to stand out from the crowd as a suitable applicant and beat the stiff competition.
With unemployment levels closing in on 2.5 million, video recruitment specialist ‘Meet The Real Me’ launches the modern answer to the nation’s employment woes. Free for jobseekers, online service is helping candidates stand out in the overcrowded job market by providing them with a platform to apply for jobs using video CVs. These allow candidates to highlight a dimension missing from the traditional written CV: the personality behind the paper. "Traditional CVs are facing redundancy in the competitive entry-level market and video is the perfect replacement for the job,” comments Marc Fels, director of Meet The Real Me. "Our recent research shows 80% think employers don’t take the time to read through written CVs and 86% think that for several occupations, personality is more important than qualifications.”
