I know exactly how you feel. I had no interest for months and in fact very few roles to apply for and now suddenly have had 2 offers this week

Boomed! Large Xmas pudding and Brandy are back on the table.

Well done.

Keep slogging away at it it'll pay off in the end.

Well done!

The market is/has been truly dire and my CV has elicited zero interest even for jobs that I knew were real and I would normally expect to walk into.

Congrats. Did you get one of them?


I was about to start at Shell but the contracts just been pulled - not sure why. I think it's time to add a bit of "xmas decoration" to my CV

Thanks. Yes I had an offer but it's still "under negotiation".

Sadly contracts getting pulled is a very commondstory in recent months, but not nice if you were about to start, presumably you hadn't yet signed on the dotted line ?

One. I think it`s rubbish and needs some work but it`s got me contracts even during the recession so it remains what I consider rubbish because don`t want to break a currently winning forumula :

I can`t be bothered changing it for each job. If you send in a CV made to measure for the job that might put some recruiters off if it looks too obvious. I prefer them to see all of my experience and they can decide for themselves if they think I could be a fit based on that rather than me taking stuff our only showing them what fits the job spec

How many have you got?

1 - I can't be arsed managing more than that and I only apply for a fairly narrow (albiet still relatively plentiful) band of jobs

and have you overhauled it/them for the recession?

It gets a spruce up after every contract

Did it pay dividends?

AFAIK It's not let me down yet
