Personal Contact details on CV for Monster/Jobsite?

[Big Tav]

HI guys, just wanting to ask about loading your CV onto Monster or Jobsite etc. Do you put your contact details on the .pdf version of your CV or do you leave them off it and the recruiters look at your CV and reply to you through your anonymous account through the system?

I just want to know if you need to be careful who gets your CV and your details or not. Cheers.

If you want to be found then at least make it straight forward and easy for recruiters to do so. Unless you have a very niche skill set where candidates are few and far between a CV with no contact details runs the risk of going straight to the bottom of the pile. At the minimum have a phone number and your town and county as an address.

As said, give as much as possible and that you are comfortable with, and ideally via a number of routes; telephone/email/LinkedIn/My Face; if you make it a struggle, why would someone bother unless you do indeed have those scarce skills. Good luck!

Putting my cv on jobsite was the worst! It converts your cv to suit their site and it looks terrible!

Many recruitment agencies will convert your cv anyway.
Always include a phone number I had many a call from potential employers who were browsing for candidates, how else are they supposed to speak to you ? They may not bother if they have to go through another medium

While recruiting I received several CVs from the same agency and I sincerely hope the originals weren't as badly misspelled as the versions they supplied.

Poor English seems to be the norm nowadays. For example, this is a personal statement extracted from the CV of a 30-something postgrad engineer:

CV said:

I am very determined and enthusiastic individual with very clear understanding of my future goals. I would like to peruse my career with a company which will give me early responsibility and is committed to staff training. I have a firm believe in myself and my abilities to meet any challenge as my career progresses forward.

If you don't put your contact details on, how are they going to contact you about a job??

Oh - and don't put a PDF on, as recruiters do need to anonimise your CV for a variety of reasons. A simple word document, without fancy formatting, is perfectly adequate for jobsite, monster, totaljob, reed etc....
