26-07-2010

Keith Potts, chief executive of Jobsite.co.uk, claims that it is worth taking a little bit of extra time to make sure the application fits the job description.
"Make clear on your covering letter/application/CV that you have the skills & experience that the job requires and ensure that each application is tailored specifically for that job," he explained.
He added that preparing for interview can make all the difference, as can getting an edge over other candidates by getting work experience or doing voluntary work.

The survey also found that more than a third of jobseekers have made over 100 applications.
