Its rubbish, the only jobs it ever sent me is jobs I couldn't do! Not worth trying to delete either because every time you apply to an agency that uses it they create a new one for you full of more rubbish.

Hmm

From what I've heard you need it

Yeah I did, but instead of surgery I moved to Kent, so now I am considered bigger than average.

but I haven't been pinged for "Master of the Universe" yet so I guess nobody's reading it.

If I'd been drinking coffee, it would have gone all over the screen.

I just need to list one.

In good faith you spend over an hour going through it and putting in your latest information, then 1 day later some @rse ignores the 'updated on' date and uploads a 5 year old CV into it, thus wiping out all of your previous work.

Which means that it is frequently in accurate and out-of-date despite your best efforts.

I couldn't be bothered after that....

And even if you delete it, the same or another arse can come along and create a new one for you. I filled mine up with crap then LOCKED it (which you can only do if it's completed) so nobody can change it.

OK it does mean that you have a CV out there, in my case full of rubbish: but I haven't been pinged for "Master of the Universe" yet so I guess nobody's reading it.

Anybody here registered their details on this?

Looks pretty good and it has a nifty control where you can see which agency has viewed your profile when.

Looks like quite a lot of agencies in London are using it.

Never had any leads from iProfile.

Agents who supposedly use iProfile have always found me on jobserve/jobsite etc.

If anything I found iProfile a useful tool for planning CV layout, and using the export feature to get a word format version of the final article.

OK, the memories are fading now, but I think some agents used to insist that you register on it because it would shoehorn your cv into a standard format so it was easier for them to compare different candidates.

The standard format was tulipe, from memory.

[BrilloPad]

It gave me alot of problems : though they were quite good about resolving them.

So its cack, ie

1) It doesn't increase exposure in the market
2) You will get a lot more emails offering p3n1s enlargment.

About right

[Gonzo]

You are kidding?

Isn't this something that everyone was cursing and didn't have a good word to say about three years ago or so.

I don't know whether I managed to delete my details from there or not. I don't care any more.
