Hi Everybody,
The ELEBCIS project has had a great opportunity to pitch up at the Vision 2012 Conference at Paintworks. We were lucky to be able to meet many industry insiders and get their opinions of level entry employment.
We video recorded a few people to get their responses and some of the most frequent points that came up are:
1. Its WHO you know, not WHAT you know (This is something that is being said time and time again)
2. ''We would love to take on a level entry position but we don't have the room'' - wither this be a financial issue or a environment issue, its understandable that a company with as little as 2 people will find it a struggle taking on a new starter.
3. People aren't selling themselves correctly. This makes a lot of sense as you can imagine alot of people sending cv's to companies to try and get ANY job they can.
i think that targeting employers will help us get a better grasp of why there are barriers in place preventing Entry Levellers getting into a company
