Don't listen to the spivs - they're just trying to rip you off.

The blacklist is contractors who will not be hired through most agencies. The greylist is contractors who will work for low rates. Having worked for the shell company controlling both lists, I can 'sort' it for you.

Don't be silly. The PNG only charge £150 and most of us only paid £100 max.

Anyway just drop Jobserve a line. As long as you haven't walked out on a contract with one of the big guys it's probably just a mistake.

Have you signed up for Jobserves Gold service? Fantastic idea. Costs £200 a year(which is a bit expensive) but you get access to Job Adverts an hour before they go onto the main site.

I've got in really early for a number of contracts. Well worth it.

Well, you give Old Greg or MF 100 quid and they promise not to submit your cv with their names on.

No. It normally occurs if your IP address has been blocked because you're on the agency blacklist. Drop their support line a help and ask if you've been added.

MF's diagnosis is correct, but the remedy incorrect. I have a 'back door' into the agencies' collective blacklist and greylist and for £100 can ensure you are not on either.
