Redundancy!

[losixxx]

jobsite shite m8...all they do is scavenge add's from other site's they could be month's old and very often repeated daily.....trust me since i was made redundant in november....

best site is monster.co.uk........also best advise i can give is make sure you CV is the dog's.....my first 2 got some big from certain recruitment agency's....

its very tough out there...i spent 7 hours going round the NEC spring fair on monday ...some 5000 businesses selling...i managed to get 15 to take my CV...some had notice's up saying NO CV's, most just said were laying people off rather than recruiting....

i even tried for a driving job with tesco's. was told politly NO as with my management experience they know i won't hang around if offered a better job and they'd rather have someone who will...they had plenty of choice..2 driving jobs 450 applicant's..

Ash, take Doms advice, shut up!!!

As an employer, I wouldn't employ someone, train them etc, knowing that as soon as a good offer came along, they would be off.... plenty of Ashley's out there to employ

I'm having similar problems. As a CNC programmer I can't even get operator jobs in case I eff off as soon as I get offered something else.

I thought 8 years retail management experience might be useful to someone as well, but I'm not even getting thanks, but no thanks letters.

Oh, and Ash, stay the fuck out of this thread in future.

Mate, you've gotta zip it now

Chris,

sorry to hear it dude,

Oilcareers.com is a good site as well as oilandgasjobsearch.com, i know you haven't worked in oil before but they do need guys for logistics. you never know.

Planet recruit ain't bad either. but i use the two above and jobsite mostly. i know people have said its crap and they have everything that is on other sites, but to me that is good.

I found Monster best too, but also had my cv ripped apart by agencies who were scouring on there!! Definitely try to make it a top notch layout and content cv, from what I have heard (I'm kinda half expecting the same news in the next month or two) there are still some jobs out there, but they'll all have loads of applicants, so the cv is the only way of getting in the door in the first place.

In fact for that reason I'd hook up with at least one agency Chris, even if just to use them to take a look at your cv! Best of luck!

That sucks mate. Happened to me on the 23rd December!!
I will keep an eye open when I am looking for stuff for myself.

[Chrislong]

Im already with a few recruitment companies. Difference now is that I am available for immediate start - which may make a big difference.

What I don't like about recruitment companies, is I have found in the past, they sent you for an interview, get some positive feedback but don't get the job, then the recruitment company just seems to halt any further attempts to put you forward for a vacancy. It was Alchemy that did this.

Got a good one in Sale who specialise in shipping and logistics jobs, hoping to call in to see them tomorrow or Friday.

Anyway, I won't be short of effort in looking. On the plus side, I have no debt, no loans and no mortgage, but even so - not got loads of money and my racing is going to suffer big time until I know I have an income.

All this, the day after I find a house I am interested in and start to consider a mortgage was that a kiss of death?

Mate - I promise you that missing out on that mortgage will be the closest shave of your life. Good luck with your job hunting.

Batten the hatches folks the good ship UK is taking in water.
