    Agents, where do you search for CV's?

    I have my CV on the usual Jobserve, CWjobs, Linkedin and Monster and I keep refreshing it so it's on the top of the pile, should I be posting it anywhere else?

    I know jobs are passing me by as there's little need to advertise when you have so many people in mind, I'm just getting more than a little frustrated that I'm missing out.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    Also register with as many agencies as possible. They do in most cases maintain their own databases.

        Dodgy, what percentage of 2nd/3rd line roles do you fill without advertising?

        Most of the roles I'm seeing have either ridiculously low rates or wildly imaginative tech specs, when are HR people going to understand that an MCSE is not a prerequisite for a helpdesk monkey job FFS!

            Gingerjedi, I am afraid that this is not our market. In general for our PSLs we rely on advertising and looking at the on line databases and eventually our own database. The problem with our own database is that it is always 99% out of date

              Do you need a contractor to sort that out for you?
