    Personal Career Solutions.....

    Been bombarded with emails for the last 2 months from this lot offering me a "career review" - apparently "Mr Hudson" has a few additional appointments available. Anyone used them before or it just the usual fishing exercise.

    I'm assuming the latter.

    Is it free? If not (and it won't be) you have your answer.
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

      No mention of it costing in the emails but no mention of it being free either. If they were that desperate to "interview" me why don't they come to MY office. It's only about 5 miles away from theirs.

        I've been getting loads of these too. In my case, their director has seen my details and is keen to meet to discuss my career. Should I feel speshul?

          It's only the Senior Consultant that wants to see me - I am not worthy

            I got "Mr Hudson" as well, apparently he has a few additional appointments available which would be an ideal opportunity to meet with me. Have a look at the website, it's career review and CV optimization service. I confirmed receipt of my e-mail (s) by unsubscribing.

              Same here, but only the senior consultant, Mr Braybrooke want's to review my situation.....

              Got constantly emailed over and over by his "assistant" until I sent a rather short, rude reply... That seemed to do the trick... never heard from them again.

              <admin note>PCS have been in contact with Contractor UK regarding this thread and I would like to make it clear that people who have been email by them were opted in to their system by certain job boards who Personal Career Solutions have an agreement with. Therefore their email is not SPAM but is mail that you have likely opted in to. They have assured me that they do act on emails requesting to be removed from their systems so if you do receive offers from them that are not of interest then you only have to let them know and they will happily remove you from their mailing lists.</admin note>

                Post deleted - not 100% certain mine are from the same company, and they have stopped coming now.

                    I'm getting the exact same e-mail but with a different name. Thankfully it goes straight to my junk e-mail.
