There is only one search engine worth using

schnell search

search engines

If you do a Google search for "Search engine", Google comes eighth (or ninth, if you miss out the quotes). Behind Lycos, Altavista and the mighty Dogpile. Draw your own conclusions.

I remember it. Webcrawler is another oldie.

Anybody remember 37.com (lots of nasty pop ups) and apparently on its way out. Their in process of shutting down their free email - so I've had to find somewhere to file my SPAM (mails from nice agents reminding me to update something called IProfile).

Many many many moons ago there was a search engine called hotbot...

It disappeared without trace.

It's shocking how bad most CVs are, some people really just don't care......
How do you know if you've got a good CV?
By researching and comparing the competition, i.e. get a load of CVs of other people / contractors who do similar stuff to you and read them.....
Cut and paste the good bits and create a hybrid.
It also helps to have a clear and concise layout, bullet points are excellent and clear partitioning between different sections is good......
Finally, if you're using paper, make sure it is Conqueror, medium weight, off-white in colour, paper clips never staples.

No I think you mean Hotmail. It's a free email thing.

[Joe Black.]

Is that a search engine like altavista?

[Defamator]

please use your common sense and try a search engine called "Google" it is amazing what you might find..........

p.s
First you must turn on the power supply of your computer......... and login ! if you manage to get through this then god help us......

Maybe might find some interesting and thought provoking ideas in:

XMLResume

http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net/

They have a standardised XML DTD for CV/Resume.

Ive just discovered it and have the utils all running. Just about to add my CV to see how it looks. The example could do with a tweak for looks. I will be pulling the CV data from database into XML CV DTD then sitting back to watch the transformations.

Joe Black - You're a lazy tosser. You don't deserve a decent job if you can't be bothered to sort out your CV. Get off your fat arse and get it sorted, otherwise you'll amount to a pile of tulipe and nothing more. You moron.

Well Dad, if you didn't used to touch me up when I was younger, perhaps I might not be so messed up now and be capable of writing a CV. By the way whats for dinner?
