There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper

classified columns. It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant”, although it does not offer
anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by
someone looking for a job, either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.
“Contact us before writing your application”, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing
your curriculum vitae or job history”, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success
of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment.
It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job history), with the
suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right. There was a time when job seekers
simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have
passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their
first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else
could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique
worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and
intelligent replies did the rest.
Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The
advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might
be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for”, was a widely
used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the
job interview.
There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university education
at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum
vitae.
