100 applications, not one call

[suityou01]

Take it Suity! Soon they will realise your potential and will not want to give you up and at that point tell them your rate is 400.

Well my last stop gap became 10months, and went from a crappy rate to a tolerable one after 3 weeks of exactly that.

Thank you to whoever it was on here who pointed out the thread in Business/Contacts about Jobserve. I could rep you but I'm lazy to scroll back and find the post.

I put my availability into LinkedIn on Monday.

Yesterday a consultancy I worked with last year asked for my CV.

Made over 100 JS applications in the past week. Not one call. Not a sausage. Prior to this week I've had calls.

Is it :

a) Quiet market with bogus JS ads (it happens)?
b) CV smells tulipty for some reason?
c) Your most recent gig was not a BA role, you are applying for BA roles and most agents are too ******* stupid to read beyond the first role?
d) There is a conspiracy out to get SY01 and the bastards won't rest until he last lost everything including his mind?
e) It's been a week you turd, calm the **** down and think seriously if you are cut out for contracting?
f) Contact AndyWs mother, she'll hook you up.

Have they butchered your CV to the point of being useless

It's the way to go, I get phone calls based on updates from my linkedin profile. I don't bother with jobserve, as most of the roles are generalised and fishing ploys.

That's how I got this role - updated LinkedIn and someone I worked with 12 years ago rang me and asked when I could start. Hardly spoken to him in the past 10 years (if at all!) but LinkedIn seems to be getting better at this kind of thing.

Same here, just updating Linkedin seems ti have got the agents sniffing round

Are you really so desperate that you don't have a decent warchest.

These days with four kids, he'd need to have been on a grand a day for months to have a warchest larger than a match box.

and that's no reflection on Suity, just that taxes and other living expenses in the UK are so scandalously high.
