Spot the job on jobserve. Send cv. Ring up 10 minutes later if they dont ring you.

Chasing game

It's like chasing a woman. Show that you are keen and available, but don't sound desperate and don't pester her. Be cool and she'll come to you.

In short if an agent has your CV and a role that you have a chance of getting they'll be on the phone every two mins. Once they've put you forward if you don't hear from them again you probably haven't got the gig.

Phone them once to find out the situation but pestering them will just waste your time and frustrate you.

Call them up for specific role, send CV, call again or wait for their call.

Works every time ...
