Job hunting? The new rules of getting hired

Why does a strong CV disappear into a recruitment black hole? Former recruiter and Project Roar founder Catherine Harris joins Sylvia Jeffreys to explain how hiring has changed, what can stop your application reaching a person, and why spending hours on job boards may be getting you nowhere. 

They cover:

• How to make your CV easier for recruitment software and recruiters to read
• What to do if you’re worried your age is counting against you
• How to explain a career break, including time spent caring for children
• How to use conversations and referrals to find opportunities

Catherine also shares what employers could gain by hiring more workers in their fifties and sixties.
