Students ready to ditch the traditional CV for digital resume

UK students believe the traditional CV format is not dynamic enough to best showcase their skills, according to a new survey from Kloodle, a social networking site for grad recruitment.

The research revealed that 42% of students are ready to use more current techniques when trying to secure a job but over half (57%) of the participants are still comfortable with using the old fashioned approach.

51% would welcome more advice from careers officers on how to create a digital CV which will help them standout from other candidates battling for the same position. 44% believe an online format with video content and images appeals to them most and 49% would like an interactive social media platform for job searching.
