With many recruiters moving towards what is known as an ‘e-portfolio’ is this the death of the CV as we know it. An e-portfolio contains factual information about a candidate’s suitability for a job, just as a CV does but also gives examples of work and places the emphasis on lifelong learning. It has the added benifet that it can be constantly updated and recruiters can also recieve updates when an alteration is made to an e-portfolio.
Many recruitment companies feel the main advantage of the e-portfolio is that it saves time and administration costs not only for the client but also for the candidate as well. What do you think, is this a good thing or do you prefer the tried and tested way of the CV? I think it could be very beneficial especially in the temp sector of the market where peoples experience and jobs are changing on a regular basis and if this way makes it easier to update and saves time, I feel it can only be a good thing.
What do you think?
I want to know how this will apply to temps or people in part time employement?
