Back on topic, I once put my CV on Jobswerve or some such, but I didn't even get any nuisance calls. So I removed it and I've never bothered since.Comment

Early on I made the mistake of going to a supposed reputable client and looking back on it I told him everything he needed to do to NOT hire me!
Now I just say "if you want to know that, you need to pay me first". They never do........
and wanting me to pay to be included in their listing, or buy printer supplies, buy CD-Roms of addresses that I can spam, take out health care with somebody I've never heard of......
not to mention apply for a permanent job that is no match for my skills on salary too low in a country that I don't have a visa for.....
Compared to all that, I really don't mind being called by agents even if I don't want the contract that they might haveComment
