CVs on Line. - drpeterwardle - 13th July 2005
David I think that it is worth looking at how this services is working or not working and how it could be improved.
Looking at CVs on line today it strikes me that people are putting their CV on here and forgetting about them. (David could we have a search by recently added facility).
Has anybody every actually got a job from somebody looking at their CV?
This ought to be a very useful resource for both employers and people looking for jobs. What I am finding is that most CVs are a few months or even over a year old. Similarly key infomation is missing from the CVs such as:
where the person is based or if they are willing to re-locate.
If they drive and have a car
are they looking for a part time/full time post or a temporary post
notice period
are they willing to work away from home
For example A long CV with a summary is better it saves me an email or a phone call.
As a bye the bye there is somebody claiming 60 years and another 75 years experience.
What does everybody think?
Before I get bombarded with emails I am not looking to employ anybody at present. I am checking what the levels of people looking for jobs with certain skills are.

I've had my CV on for nearly a year. Not so much as a nibble. Maybe employers find it too much hassle to search through. Last time I looked, it was mostly full of people with a year or less experience.

I dont think much more is needed -
some complusory fields with key infomation would be useful.
The most important is are the people still looking for a job!

Perhaps CVs could be deleted after 3 months unless the depositor actually updates them or confirms they are still currrent.

Sorry Badger dude,
Wasn't having a go at you. Looks like you've already got plenty on your plate.....
Actually, I'd rather things were organised along the lines of units placing job advertisements. Then you can see who is offering what, whether they are in the BAJR salary minima and whether they expect things like you pay for your own H&S training.

I was daft enough to go to a c.v "consultant" who outlined current requirements-trouble is, they change depending on who you ask!How about bajr coming up with "the ideal archaeology c.v format", we`d all be following it then............
