No feedback on Resume

Probably because you are not as good as you think you are?

Thanks. I didn't say I think I am good, only said I worked at decent places. I am rubbish - but that shouldn't mean I don't hear from any of them, even if to say that I am rubbish.

You are such a Biiiiyatch!

I have paid for this service and have still been struggling. YMMV.

That's because you can't polish a turd, only roll it in glitter

I did the CV Webinar (I think it was the same one that CUK pimps out everynow and then, so you don't just have to take IPSE's word on it) and I changed my CV based on what was said.

Like you I was struggling to get traction recently, I put it down to several reasons, change in direction, weak market, more competition etc. etc. etc., long and short if it, is that this is a numbers game, to be getting 1-2 calls a day (depending on your role) is good going, and three weeks is not very long to be looking to be fair

We've had a lot of IPSE members feed back to us that having their CV/resumé "smartened up" does get results.

Yes, I've been through one of these webinars and picked up some very useful tips - partly the reason for good response I get from Agents when I apply. It is the next stage that I have had particular difficult time this month.

Maybe you have an annoying voice

So did I. Made a version of my CV in the way they recommended: 0 repsonses. Old version tons of responses

I was looking for a new contract for last 3 weeks or so and had a very busy period with plenty of calls - 2/3 new roles each day and have been put forward for nearly 15 roles over the month (including for 3 while I was on holiday in Spain) All with tier 1 banks with decent agents - but how many interviews have I had - None.

My current contract wasn't supposed to get extended but they manage to secure some last minute approvals - so I am ok for another 3 months

But this begs a question as to what does it take to get an interview and why is there so much time wasting?

Many permies desire to go contracting, for the rates, depending on your IT skillset, I have heard like 120 CVs chasing like the One contract,

Kingie,

This fake, special-needs, rapper patois wasn't funny to start with. There's only so many things you can mis-spell; only so many conjugations, capitalisations etc you can corrupt. You've done them all so, enough is enough
