Many jobseekers are miserable in their jobs but most of these will create excuses to stay put and never try to find career happiness.

Some would argue that jobseekers have an legitimate reason not to follow career dreams at this present time. What is that excuse? The big “R” word- recession. It is understandable that many jobseekers park dreams of a career change during difficult economic conditions – bills, mortgage and family considerations dictate decisions. Is this just another excuse? For most yes!! When things pick up again it will be something else.

So what stops jobseekers following their dreams? From experience it can be a wide range of factors but certainly fear plays a big factor. Fear of failure, fear of success and fear of the unknown. It is a scary experience no doubt and often our dreams seem to distant or big to achieve. The best advice I ever got was “lean into it”. Start small researching, asking question, talking to experts and see what materialises. You may be surprised.

Most companies I speak to place an advert, screen the applications and CV’s, make a short list, interview, screen-out unqualified applicants, check referees and make an offer to the surviving applicant. Increasingly companies are realising that this process is not an effective means of recruiting and selecting the right people. The cost of a wrong hire can be as much as 3 times salary and so selecting the wrong people is costing companies dearly. So how can companies improve recruitment and selection?

Psychometric Testing & Effective Interviewing
I read an interesting article recently that described and interviewee like a tree. The part that is visible (fruits) and the part that is not visible (roots). The problem with most traditional interviews is that they focus on what can be seen (the fruits). These interviews fall into two categories; a glorified sales pitch by the interviewer or an informal conversation. They lack direction and focus and no two interviews are the same making it difficult to compare candidates objectively. For effective recruitment you will combine a competency based interview with psychometric testing (for example ability tests and personality questionnaires). This combination will help you dig beneath the surface and uncover important information about applicants.

Mistakes in recruitment can be costly and for some firms they can mean the end of a dream. Effective analysis, planning and utilising effective assessment techniques can greatly improve your hiring decisions.

So what makes a IMPACT CV?

Some of the key areas include:

Format - Clean CV that are easy to read. You help the recruiter!! White spaces, bold headers and bullet points are some suggestions.

Layout - Let the recruiter see the information that they need. CV should not really be anymore than 2 pages AND key information must be located in the 1st page.

Content – Need focus – 90% of CV’s fail because they lack focus. Write your CV for the recruiter and not for yourself.

Basics – We are taking about simple stuff like accurate spelling and grammar, correct contact details and things like reverse chronological order.
