According to a leading job-search engine, Jobberman, the reason jobseekers don't
get jobs has been attributed to applicants’
CVs being the major setback for getting jobs.The research was carried out based on the observation that only a handful of job-seekers get interview calls for every application made while the larger percentage make several applications yearly and are still without jobs.
Arguably; the economic shift, rise in demand for technologically inclined professionals, proliferation of online startups and surge in employment mismatch leave many job seekers stuck in the job market because they lack the requisite skill set to adequately provide value to employers. Regardless, job-seekers overlook the importance of a resume being a candidate’s first pitch to recruiters.
