I am now finding jobserve a waste of time. I have not received a single phone call from any of my applications. All my interviews are coming from contacts - both people I have worked with and agents.
Admittedly I have an interesting CV - one that is not easy to pigeon hole. Agents often have issues understanding some contractors can do more than one thing.
I have tried calling up a few agents. Most were unhappy to be called - they wanted a one trick pony. A few said they were pleased to hear from me and I would be put forward - though nothing has come from any of them. Yet.
I tried offered a few £500 in a brown paper bag. Every one of them was mortified so I dropped that. Agents have more scruples than I thought. Not that that is saying much....
