The Guardian wasn't bad in the 1990's. Got my first IT role via there too.Originally posted by DrGUID View PostIs CWJobs still in business? I can't seem to update my CV or make it searchable. I've tried making a new account but that doesn't work either. It used to be good although it's the main place scammy agents used to find us. Well if anyone has any tips let me know.
CVLibrary was really good for a time but maybe not so good now.
Indeed was good but now it's full of Whatsapp phishing scammers.
LinkedIn... ugh. It's good for jobs but I just hate all those vomit inducing posts.
It's amazing Jobserve is still around given the site hasn't had a makeover since... forever.
Btw I found my first IT job back in 1997 by replying to an advertisement in The Guardian newspaper. Thursday was the bumper tech jobs edition (maybe the weekend was also good?).Former IPSE member

Aye, Thursday scouring the Grauniad, Times, Telegraph jobs pages in the library in a usually futile attempt to find something.
Dear dead days beyond recall.
Plus Electronics Weekly & Electronics Times and the IEE (now IET) jobs thing. I even got an interview out of an advert in the latter. Laser place in Letchworth IIRC. Came to nothing in the end of course. Fecking big lasers though.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
