Latest research discovers that 44% of jobseekers have only ever put their CV together, just the once. Does this tell us that many jobseekers only compile their CV, apply for the one job and then are lucky enough to be offered it? Wouldn't that make job hunting easy!
Further to this, 34% have created somewhere between 2 and 5 CV's when applying for a job. This relates to the CV being varied according to the similar but different roles being applied for at the same time.
13% have created more than 10 CV's - WOW! And 9% have put together between 5 and 10 CV's.
So, how many have you done? Have you found that you are re-creating many CV's so you only ever send one CV to one company? This is how we advise jobseekers to go about their job applications to ensure they are really targeting their applications according to the job and role. So if this is YOU, well done and keep it up!
If you require some advice on putting together a new CV, head over to our Career Centre on the website. It has plenty of great articles to help with many topics surrounding CV writing.

We are delighted to announce that we have made the switch over to a more secure website. Our URL will therefore now read https://www.TipTopJob.com rather than https://www.tiptopjob.com.
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP. The 'S' at the end of HTTPS stands for 'Secure'. It means all communications between our users browsers and the website are encrypted. We have made this change with our jobseekers and clients in mind to reassure them that their data is safe with us.
Anjim Qureshi, IT Services Director comments, "In order to create a good user experience, we want to be a trusted provider. We feel this important change will help us to build that all important trust in our users eyes."
