      Or phone him on his mobile requesting his business services and then arrange an interview at a mutually convenient time.... He's single and 29 year's old so (hopefully) not still living with mum....so the chances are there won't be anyone at home during this time, so while he's travelling to said "interview" you could go round and rob his house.

      Or apply for shedloads of credit in his name, etc, etc...

      The possibilities are endless... People really should take more care with their personal details.

        One of the problems with the ubiquitous requirement to identify yourself with such data is that lots of people obtain from you enough data to "identify" themselves falsely as you.

              Nowhere to be seen.
              Crying out loud people why all the negativity, I focused on "Process anaylsis CV" and "business process analyst cv" , as i have a few recruitment consultant friends who if they have not got a CV on their books that fits the bill this is what they search for . Both on page one on google

              Please stop all the negativity jese i'm sorry if this post has offended anyone anf for the millionth time.............. i still need to do the content!!!

                  I fail to see where I have gone wrong here , I have had some success with a website , was a bit pleased with myself , posted here as I thought other contractors scratching around for contracts might benefit , and i get flamed from the word go

                  1) the content is not finished at all , I have papers to post and presentations , the current content was based on old CV
                  2) the SEO was based on "process analysis CV" (google number 1)
                  3) I take it on the chin about the personal details and i thank you for that
                  4) I have had several calls as a result of the website

                  But the rest is needless newbie bashing and its pretty strange considering everyone on here is supposed to be a senior proffessional , pick on the new guy , if you look back at the tone of most of the replies its amazing anyone posts here!

                  I apologise for posting on your forum I dont think I will bother again

                  All the best

                    It's a time-honoured tradition to mercilessly flame sites posted here by the author.

                    There's been a similar escapade in Technical today.

                    What you think of as a great site will be critiqued on an IT contractors' message board - but that's not a bad thing in itself. Every site can be improved.

                    IMHO, you escaped lightly. Go and say hello in the General forum, introduce yourself.

                      Nope, not page 1 on my version of Google. Page 2 actually. However, I have to say, I have never, ever done a search on a string with "CV" in it. Fair enough though.
