Lib Dem CV proposal 'unworkable'

A proposal put forward by the Liberal Democrats regarding job applications has been criticised by recruiters.

The comments came in response to proposals by Lynne Featherstone MP that job candidates should avoid putting their names on written applications so that recruiters are not prejudiced by information about sex, race or age prior to interviews.

Dianah Worman, diversity adviser at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, told Personnel Today that there is a danger of the bill becoming too restrictive.

Mike Campbell, people director at airline Easyjet, commented: "[The proposal] would be unworkable and make an already stressful process for applicants even more impersonal and it certainly doesn't address the core issue of discrimination."

Last week, careers website newlifenetwork.co.uk, stated that using certain keywords in CVs is likely to help candidates secure jobs.

Words including achievement, active, developed, evidence and impact have the greatest effect on recruiters, according to the group.
