    Anymore trying to beat the swear filter and you'll be banned.

    Seriously.

      Down at my end of the market (think shelf stacker )

      Three applications this week, three call backs.

      Discarded one on rate, two are progressing. Probably come to nothing, but the pimps are calling back!

      Rates, even at my level, are down 20% from last year though

      Has your CV got your phone number on it?

        Are you only using Jobserve?

        Have they butchered your CV to the point of being useless

        Even two years ago they managed to remove my mobile number from the document they sent out when I applied for contracts. Thankfully my CV still had an email address and was good enough for people to email and ask me to ring them but it was rather annoying.

          Did you put your number on the CV?
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                We were talking about this last night. Make sure you're sending your actual CV through Jobserve and not their stupid profile thing that probably says you've only been doing this for 6 months and you're an expert in paper clip sorting.

                    or got a digit wrong?

                    I really hope one of these is true, but Suity would never admit it.

                      I've just turned down an extension, not started looking yet other than updating my Linkedin to say I will be available from 1st March and already had half a dozen calls (granted 3 of them were pimps trying to get me to take the job I just turned down now its been advertised but still).

                      It is quiet, but not silent at the moment, if you are using JS have a look at the Profile.docx thread in Business as you might be onto a loser before you even started.


                      Oh tulip just realised this is Suity and not in the Professional Forums, forget what I just said, you are rubbish, no one loves you and you suck like a two doller whore with no teeth.
