Job hunters urged by EU to get online to get a job

Getting a job is no longer just about reading and writing — it’s about searching and coding. The message is get online to get employed.

Only 17% of the 5.5 million young people out of work in the EU have an online job profile with sites like LinkedIn or Xing.

And while many young people use the internet on a daily basis to keep in touch with friends, they do not have the skills needed to convert this into a job.
