In the highly competitive world, where it becomes harder and harder to find a place and settle down the world crisis worsens the situation. More and more people are finding themselves out of work. Competition rises. But according to the PRWeb, Tony Willis, a high profile recruiter who has 15 years of experience in the industry and places candidates at fast growth companies in the technology industry, has the following advice:

1. Focus on recent experience in CV. "Most people don't care what your first job was 15 years ago, and if they do, they'll ask to hear more about it," says Willis. "Elaborate on what you've done recently."

2. Think about CV as currency. When updating CV, think about the narrative. Willis says, "It is not just a list of accomplishments and job titles. Think about the common theme that ties your career together and makes you different from other candidates."

3. Use and update social and professional networking sites. Willis believes that, "In today's world, online networking sites are one of the most critical tools for job seekers, even more than a strong resume."

4. Market yourself! Use sites to create memorable, unique business cards, thank you cards or other printed products that you can hand out at networking events. "While much of our networking these days happens online, the connections you make in the real world still carry the most weight. Don't waste an opportunity by not being able to provide contact details so people can easily follow up and remember you," says Willis.
