    And with that nice little clarification (after they were keen to clarify last year) I call this thread closed...

    As stated in my note above. PCS have been in contact with Contractor UK regarding this thread and I would like to make it clear that people who have been email by them were opted in to their system by certain job boards who Personal Career Solutions have an agreement with. Therefore their email is not SPAM but is mail that you have likely opted in to. They have assured me that they do act on emails requesting to be removed from their systems so if you do receive offers from them that are not of interest then you only have to let them know and they will happily remove you from their mailing lists.

    I also get these, but they stopped after I personally mailed the man named in the email; and did my best impression of Malcolm Truss .

    Got sent on one of these by the job centre years ago, and it doesnt seem to have changed much, pay us money to tear apart a CV we don't understand and then tell you to use "linked-in" for the holy grail of "hidden job markets".

    What a load of tosh.

    Good Morning,

    I contacted you some time ago about your CV and your career goals and I was hoping to catch up with you so that you can update me about your current career situation.
    As you may recall, Personal Career Solutions specialises in assisting individuals who are looking for mid- to senior-level roles and our Senior Consultant was keen to meet with you to discuss your professional aspirations moving forward.
    If you would like to set up a meeting with a consultant at your nearest office, please reply to this email with an up-to-date copy of your CV attached, call me on 0844 880 6690, or check appointment availability via our website at Request a Meeting - Personal Career Solutions.
    I look forward to hearing from you soon.
    Kind Regards,
    Colin Sellick
    I'm getting the exact same e-mail but with a different name. Thankfully it goes straight to my junk e-mail.

    Post deleted - not 100% certain mine are from the same company, and they have stopped coming now.

    Same here, but only the senior consultant, Mr Braybrooke want's to review my situation.....

    Got constantly emailed over and over by his "assistant" until I sent a rather short, rude reply... That seemed to do the trick... never heard from them again.

    I got "Mr Hudson" as well, apparently he has a few additional appointments available which would be an ideal opportunity to meet with me. Have a look at the website, it's career review and CV optimization service. I confirmed receipt of my e-mail (s) by unsubscribing.

    It's only the Senior Consultant that wants to see me - I am not worthy

    No mention of it costing in the emails but no mention of it being free either. If they were that desperate to "interview" me why don't they come to MY office. It's only about 5 miles away from theirs.

    started a topic Personal Career Solutions.....

    Personal Career Solutions.....

    Been bombarded with emails for the last 2 months from this lot offering me a "career review" - apparently "Mr Hudson" has a few additional appointments available. Anyone used them before or it just the usual fishing exercise.

    I'm assuming the latter.
Working...
