Is the CV dead and buried?

Polina Montano is Co-Founder and COO at JOB TODAY, the UK’s #1 hiring app. JOB TODAY helps employers in the service industries find great staff quickly.

The CV is becoming an endangered species and some day may even become extinct, and not before time, say some employers. Employers don’t give a monkey’s if you’ve conquered Kilimanjaro or care for orphaned bats in your spare time. What they want to know is will you fit the culture? Can you do the job? Do you have good soft skills? CVs have become such an X-Factor beauty contest that they’ve almost made themselves irrelevant.
