Best place to post a cv?

[silverback mike]

As above really, I'm after some advice as to where is the best place to post my cv in order to start something new.

Any advice gratefully recieved

Mike.

Too generic a question for me to be able to help

Job boards become sucessful because of a specialism (usually)

Monster or Cv Libary are the biggest - but are very broad


Better to use specialists

I posted mine on Totaljobs.com, CVLibrary.com, Monster and Reed. All the responses I got were from recruitment consultants and I think I had four phone calls from people seeing my CV on Totaljobs within about an hour of posting it. I've been contacted by around a dozen recruitment consultants and most of those saw my CV on Total and CVlibrary with a couple each from Monster and Reed.

It probably depends what you're looking for. I'm in Financial Services and am looking for a management role and quite a chunky salary (please) within a 40 mile radius from home. I'm not sure how good these web sites are if you're looking for a more average job in your local town.

They're all free to post on so I would just put your CV on several and see what happens.

Thanks folks.

Cheers Paddy, nice one.

Why not apply for roles directly? If you've got the competencies required you may have more success?

I've a few irons in the fire, which have been word of mouth really but having never really written or needed a CV I suppose knowledge of how to gain greater coverage is handy.

beware of jobsite - you'l get a stack of replies from agencies looking for "Managers " .Prime qualifications are havin a UK bank acount ,and being UK citazens. PH advice was that this is a scam . So BEWARE .
