i have never tried using the email that is listed on jobserve but after applying i normally google the agency, find a contact number, call reception and ask for the email addy for xyz and feed her the story off how i am trying to send an email to xyz@domain.com, at which point she either corrects me if i am wrong or provides me with the correct email for me to follow on with my cv attachment..Originally posted by kaiser78 View PostQuick question - is it preferable to apply for jobs on Jobserve via the online application facility or via email, or does it make no difference either way ?

It makes no difference, there are no real jobs.Originally posted by kaiser78 View PostQuick question - is it preferable to apply for jobs on Jobserve via the online application facility or via email, or does it make no difference either way ?
Personally I always apply by direct email if available, otherwise online and then call to check, if they have a phone number.
Otherwise (i.e. online application only, and no phone number listed) I suspect its reality.Comment

Yes, Jobserve online application attachments get through most of the time, when the attachment is garbled agents will ring you and ask for the attachment in Word format.Originally posted by kaiser78 View PostQuick question - is it preferable to apply for jobs on Jobserve via the online application facility or via email, or does it make no difference either way ?
