Employers say jobseekers are ill-prepared for interviews

JOBS might be much harder to come by at the moment but jobseekers aren’t trying much harder to get them.

That’s the finding of an extensive survey that discovered employers are far from impressed with the preparation many prospective employees are putting in to job applications and interviews.

The survey, carried out by Hays Ireland recruitment company last month, questioned 1,565 jobseekers and 623 employers about whether the difficult jobs environment had made any difference to their tactics for getting and filling the precious few vacant positions.
