'Pull out all the stops' to boost employment prospects

People hoping to land a job cannot rest on their laurels and should effectively pull out all the stops to put themselves in contention, it has been advised.

Jerry Wright, joint managing director of cph Consulting, said that there are a number of routes to finding a new position, and people need to explore them all, with recruitment agencies offering a particularly effective pathway.

People need to think about the skills they have and how they can fit into an organisation, then try their best to give themselves a chance of landing the job, he added.

Mr Wright's comments came after the publication of the June 2012 employment figures from the Office for National Statistics, which revealed that the employment rate for those aged from 16 to 64 was 70.6 per cent, up 0.3 per cent on the quarter.

In addition, there were 29.28 million people aged 16 and over who were in employment, which is up 166,000 on the quarter.
