You're Hired!

From the website http://www.webchats.tv

Are you struggling to get that dream job? Are you going from one interview to another, thinking it's in the bag only to have your hopes dashed because someone else has more experience, better qualifications, or simply a more dazzling CV than yours?

Getting a new job is no easy feat. What is the correct layout for your CV? Should education sit ahead of employment and how important is it to have a hobbies and interests section? Perhaps having similar interests or even supporting the same football team as your employer might just swing that interview for you!

Yell.com are due to unveil findings from their recent research, which focuses on the personal interests of prospective job candidates. The research investigates the range of hobbies that job seekers partake in and examines the influence this portion of the CV has on potential employers. How much do personal interests influence employers when deciding whether or not an individual will fit with the ethos and culture of their organisation?

Claude Littner, Alan Sugar's trouble shooter from the TV series The Apprentice, is one man who can give you the right advice to ensure you're conveying the right kind of insight into your pastimes on your CV, and how this can positively affect your job prospects. Barbara Newman from Yell.com will also be on hand to tell you how to get started on an unusual hobby in your area.
