    Seeing my CV text as job description on jobserve

    As you know left last client a few weeks ago. Got the boot because they decided no-one over 2 years (and I'd been there 4+). Hey ho thats the way it goes.

    I've got a new gig lined up. They asked me if I know any decent permies. I did. One of the guys are last client whos not happy there. He got offered a perm job at same place. I guess they're panicking now.

    Saw post on jobserve this am and thought "thats familiar". Same guy and same agency I was with. Job description uses the EXACT text from my CV word for word. Bit lazy that.....

        Happened to me years ago.

        I phoned up the agency, asked to speak to a director and it was removed within an hour.

        Don't know what happened to the agent who copied it.

          The agent probably got a promotion and a new shiny suit for using their initiative.

                For using PC's CV he more likely got taken out and shot for being a complete idiot.
