Our latest study found that just over a third of jobseekers believe they can write their CV/Resume themselves and do not need the assistance of a professional.
On the other hand however, 39% of respondents have used a professional CV/Resume writer. 28% of these individuals were also really impressed with the outcome, saying they were brilliant and would use the service again as well as recommend them. The other 11% were not so impressed but did use the services to help them in their job searching process.
A large proportion, 27%, said that they have not used one in the past, but would definitely consider it in the future.
The professional CV/Resume writing services around are a massive support for those who do not know where to start with updating and reviving their most invaluable tool when searching for a new job. Although it seems that many find this updating process easy and are self-able, many are not and therefore these professional services come in very handy to a large percentage of the population.
Here at TipTopJob, we value these services highly and have partnered with some professional CV/Resume writing companies. If you are based in the UK or in Countries that use a CV, you can link through to GetInterviewsUK or if you are based in the USA, there is GetInterviewsUSA where they focus on updating your resume. Get Interviews offer a FREE CV/Resume review to start with so why not give that whirl now? Do not forget to let us know how you get on and make sure you remember to upload your brand new CV/Resume onto your account on TipTopJob!!!!
Results of the survey are illustrated below....
Happy New Year to all of you TipTopers from the whole TipTopJob team. We hope you all had a relaxing and restful break if indeed that is possible when you are rushing from family to friends back to family and more friends to celebrate the holiday season. Either way, we hope you are refreshed and enjoying being back to work ready for an exciting year ahead. Have you made any New Years resolutions around your working life? If so, why not share them with us here? You may motivate someone else to strive to achieve something new!
We have been asking some of our users about their own New Years Resolutions and although many relate to changing careers, many also relate to eating habits at work, career progression and working on personal goals within the working environment.
A recent new story released this week has called for offices to reduce the amount of cake intake for the fear of rotting teeth. What do you feel about stopping birthday cakes, a tradition that has been around for years? Are you hopeful that employees tastes and their mindset can move towards a more healthy treat for our teeth and bodies? We are not so sure.
Love to hear your thoughts on this! Comment below.
In our latest survey, we can reveal that a huge proportion of individuals are looking for a new job, NOW, before Christmas.
In the past, it has been fairly common to delay the job hunt until the busy January period and enjoy the Christmas build up and the winding down but our latest survey results tell us otherwise.
77% of those asked have stated that they are looking for work with ONLY 23% waiting another few weeks to kick it off.
Does it make sense to make the fresh start and concentrate on getting your CV/Resume updated and applications out in January? Why are you waiting?

With the Christmas party season kicking off this week, we thought it suitable to review some tips to surviving it and investigate whether employees "hated them and do not go", "go but prefer not to" or totally "love it and always go"!
Our latest study found that 47% of employees do actually LOVE a Christmas party and always attend. Well, why not? It is an excuse to socialise with your work colleagues, enjoy food and drinks paid for by the company and have a night out!
On the other hand though, 25% unfortunately hated the thought of going to their Christmas party and find an excuse not to go. Are you one of these employees? Come on, tell us what your excuse is this year? On top of this, 28% go because they feel that they have to but prefer not to.
If you are one of those people avoiding the celebrations at Christmas with your work colleagues have a read over the following tips to help with surviving the night:-
- drink a glass of water with every alcoholic drink;
- have a cut off time - pre-book your taxi home and stay safe;
- make sure you either eat before you go out or eat the food that is provided;
- do not go overboard with your choice of outfit and reveal too much flesh;
- pace yourself with the amount you drink and avoid any shots;
- stay away from office politics and gossip as it can get out of control on a night out when everyone relaxes;
- enjoy some dancing but avoid provocative dancing with your work colleagues and bosses;
- avoid posting onto social media throughout the evening;
- try to steer the conversation away from work.
If you can keep some of these pointers in mind, you are sure to enjoy your Christmas party without facing any uncomfortable situations. Have fun, stay safe and be merry!
A few weeks ago we asked the users on TipTopJob, how many times each week they were late for work.
When breaking down individuals arrival at work, we felt there are four different types of people....
1. those who are always at least 10 minutes early, never rushing or stressed.
2. those who walk in dead on start time and never before.
3. those who are literally running in, hair wind swept panting either on time or just after.
4. those who are notoriously late with one excuse or another.
Our latest survey run over several weeks, found that 73% say they are NEVER late for work. Excellent figure and we are delighted that these are the people using TipTopJob :)
Sadly though we did discover a % of people who are late, whether that was 1,2,3,4 days or every single day of the week. 13% admitted they are late 1 or 2 days each week, 5% 3 to 4 days and 9% say they are late every single day!!!!
So tell us, do you work with these late comers? And if so, how are they disciplined at work? Is it acceptable to be late in some companies and does it just not matter? What would happen to you if you were late at work?
It has been reported today in the UK, Wednesday 16th November 2016, that the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level for almost 11 years in the 3 months after Brexit.
The Office of National Statistics reports that the jobless rate falls to 4.8% between July and September which has not been achieved since 2005.
Brexit created huge uncertainty for Britain's economy and there were fears of a possible recession but these figures prove that the Country is fighting back and maintaining its strong position.
Let us know your thoughts below surrounding these latest statistics.....
Most employees find that it is "The Company" that hinders career progression over anything else. In our latest survey we asked what most employees find holds them back from moving their careers forward out of a number of given options including "The company", "The Role", "Colleagues", "The Boss", "Their Skills" and "Their Confidence".
37% of responses selected "The Company" as the main reason for hindering their progression. Second to this were the individuals "Skills" of which 22% responded. Next, 14% selected "Confidence" from the options available - amazing that so many people have a lack of confidence that holds them back in their career!!
"The Role", "Colleagues" and "The Boss" were at the bottom of the pile. Only 6% chose "Colleagues", 8% "The Boss" and 12% "The Role".
Whatever the reason, career progression is so important to keeping an individual interested in their job and willing them to work for the company for the longer term rather than just the short term. The fact that most employees are stating that it is "The Company" holding them back shows that there are potentially no opportunities to progress within the company they are working for so the only option for promotions or advancements would be to move elsewhere. Have you got experience of a company hindering your career progression? Tell us the details here....
In our latest survey we discovered that 46% of colleagues are able to talk freely and openly to each other whilst at work. Not only that but they feel no restriction on when or where they can have an open natter and at any point throughout the working day, personal discussions happily take place.
36% felt that they could talk openly and freely to their colleagues too but they needed to limit this to out of working hours only. Work hours equal work.
Finally, only 18% of respondents felt they could not talk to their colleagues about personal matters. Colleagues are kept at a professional arms length at all times!
So, which category do you fall into? If you are one of the 36%, do you find yourself emailing and texting each other because of the restrictions in place within working hours or are you simply too busy to even consider a personal discussion?
