....if you are relying on jobserve, you're doing it wrong
I'm sure I am. I prefer to leave the hard work to someone else. I've effectively outsourced the hard work to agents. I don't need the hassle of cold calling companies to see if they have any opportunities.
A few years back they had a Fax-Me service for sending out CVs. It was tulipe.
I got a call from an agent that knew me asking why Jobserve had sent him a 3 year old CV. With a bit of 'phoning around I find they had been sending out old CVs in dribs and drabs when I didnt want them sent out at all, and not sending them when I did want them sent.
So I 'phoned Jobserve to complain. Abuse? Blimey!
I was given a right earful about being one of the parasites, that the agents are their customers because they pay and that we should be grateful they exist at all. So I demanded to speak to a boss and was basically told to eff off because they were busy.
So 'phone them and see what response you get. Perhaps they have changed.
Have you thought about becoming a Restaurant critique?
Jobserve appears to be well-stuffed... do they have SLAs? Can we get compensation?
No, no and don't bother complaining.
