        I see your "Computer Weekly" and raise you "Freelance Informer".

        Them were the days.

        Isn't that where Verity Stob started out?

        Possibly not since the only reference I can find to that is on this board, made by some sort of giant alien lizard. .

            Actually, they quite often do.
            And pay very well too.

                Might be, I had boxes of .EXE that were sent gratis for some reason, most of which was far beyond my simple brain.

                  I am using:

                  LinkedIn
                  Jobserve
                  ZipRecruiter
                  Indeed
                  eFinancialCareer
                  CWJobs

                  Some are a lot better than others and I am filtering on jobs added in the last day or two.

                  Any sites missing here that people would like to recommend?

                    Quality Contracts is a good aggregator:

                      Is 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?).
