Most jobseekers 'sticking to conventional CVs'

Most jobseekers 'sticking to conventional CVs' The majority of jobseekers are still using traditional CVs, despite the increasing reliance on the internet, according to new research.

According to a recent study by executive search organisations MRINetwork which looked at 500 job applicants, just four per cent have used a video CV in a job search.

Michael Jalbert, president of MRINetwork, said it is "too soon" to know whether video CVs will become the most popular method for applications, noting that there are "probably less than 200" of them on various sites.

"Video CVs have been around for years", he said.

"The growth of broadband connections and the existence of easy-to-use video-making applications will most likely spur usage as more candidates hoping to stand out from the competition post video CVs online to boost their chances of being noticed and hired."

He went on to note that employers should focus solely on qualifications and not on appearances which a video CV may reveal.
