Recent research from MyWorkSearch found that more than one-third of jobseekers have sent out over 100 applications, but 32 per cent have yet to attend more than one interview.
Commenting on the findings, recruitment expert Keith Potts claimed that sending out an untargeted CV will often annoy potential employers and reduce the chances of jobseekers being offered an interview.
"Remember to be targeted in your applications, don't think that sending your CV out to hundreds of irrelevant jobs will increase your chances," he advised.
The expert admitted that this process will take more time than dispatching a general CV, but claimed that this effort will ultimately be worthwhile.
Mr Potts also recommended that jobseekers use their covering letter and resume to highlight how their skills and experience make them suitable for the position.
