I have mentioned on my CV that I'm currently studying. Does this put employers off?

Wouldn't bother me as long as you are able to do the hours I need.The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!
If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

As an employer, it would depend on the job I was offering, the hours etc. Also if you were at college or studying from home. There would be a number of factors to consider, also if what you were studying had relevance to the position advertised.

I dont see a reason why it would bother anyone, it would show your looking at improving yourself or trying to improve your prospects,0

Depends.
Generally we'd approve - it shows you work hard, want to learn and improve yourself, etc etc...
But if it were training for a completely different career, for example, we'd be concerned about how committed you'd really be to THIS job or if you are heartily sick of the whole thing and would get out as soon as possible.Cash not ash from January 2nd 2011: £2565.:j
OU student: A103 , A215 , A316 all done. Currently A230 all leading to an English Literature degree.
Any advice given is as an individual, not as a representative of my firm.0 -
