It is extremely important that you update your CV regularly, especially if you are changing jobs. Even if you feel like you have spent hours creating it a few months back, this does not mean you can sit back and not update it ever again. Once you have made your amendments, then it is imperative to get it uploaded onto TipTopJob so recruiters can find you!!
Here are our top reasons for updating your CV on TipTopJob ....
1..
Have your updated skills on your CV because recruiters
search for
specific keywords (mainly skills you may have) and if you are sure to
have ALL the skills you have ever learnt, especially those you have
developed recently, your CV will come up higher in the list!
2..
Recruiters can sort the CV database by date - so the fresher your CV
is, the more chance you will be found. The higher you come in the list.
If you leave your CV on the database for months, your CV will be come
up hundreds of pages down and there is less chance you will be found.
Remember to update your CV regularly for this reason.
3..
By updating your CV regularly, it helps you keep track of your
development and the new skills you learn. It also allows recruiters to
see in depth how you have evolved and what you have learnt in your
lifetime.
4..
As time goes by, changes in terminology occur. This may mean you need
to update your CV to ensure you are keeping up to date with the changes
over time.
5..
If your CV has your
current job listed and shows what you have been
doing right up until now, then the recruiter knows you are an active
jobseeker and will more likely endeavour to contact you.
6..
Not everyone wants to put their CV online - so if you add yours, you
are at an advantage when recruiters are looking through the CV database.
