How many of you using Skype to interview?

Martin Ellis posted a blog postJob Seekers - Don't take rejection personally
Rejection is part of the job hunting process.Think about it: If I involve 60 candidates in a headhunt, eventually 59 are going to be rejected. It's a mathematical likelihood you will be in a position to be disappointed more times than not - DON'T BE!!!There are many reasons you may not be selected - some of them are awful:The…See More
Martin Ellis posted a blog postSmart Interview Questions for Candidates
You've covered all the bases so far... your CV has got you an interview... you've done your research and rehearsed what you'll say to the obvious questions you're likely to be asked... You got to the interview on time, and you're performing like a star (You may already have read Top Ten "DUMB" Interview Tips) then the interviewer asks if you have any questions for…See More
Martin Ellis commented on Ryan Leary's blog post 'A Jobseeker's Guide to Personal Branding. Tips for the Job Hunter. A Recruiters Perspective.'"While what you write is obvious, more people than not are oblivious to it - it does job seekers great damage. There are job hunters that prowl around LI with photo's taken on their laptops that make them appear like mass murderers, and who make…"

This is the best CV/resume I've ever seen
"ABC. I apologise. I missed your comment above. Point well made.
This candidate had real job options because of this video and is now in a job she loves.
The video worked. I can't add any further value."
Martin Ellis commented on Martin Ellis's blog post 'How to Choose a Headhunter - Honour Among Headhunters'"Linda. My point isn't that you just find people directly on LI, but it's a great way to find sources too. Anybody not using it is working harder than they need to. I appreciate not everybody feels the need, but doesn't it make you…"
"I would argue the LI point. Not everyone is on it, and some execs don't see the need nor feel the value in it. Honestly, I can't blame them. It's just a tool. The headhunter, however, should have a COMPLETE…"
A blog post by Martin Ellis was featuredGet a "Marmite" CV/Resume - or you'll be toast...
I have long held the view that people need to be a little braver with their CV's and resumes. Far too many people write their CV/resume so it offends nobody. Trouble is, it attracts nobody either.Just last week I had a candidate who sent me their CV. They were struggling to make a connection and get invited to interview. Actually, their CV was rather good. It looked clean and modern. It contained facts and…See More
