What are the best sites to look? I know of CWJobs, but any others?
Should I put my CV up on any of the sites? Its not an impressive CV, but it may take someones eye.

Thanks.

I personally think, the best way to advertise yourself would be through an agency, obviously dependent on the line of work you are looking for.

I find jobsites mass populated by so many CV's - lighting a match in a cave type of thing.

Thanks for your reply.

IT is what I am in (well, plastic IT, as that is how my role feels). I guess googling for agencies is the way forwards?

I used the government jobsearch website and 'indeed' to look for jobs. I never registered a CV with any of the sites. Once you find an interesting role, it doesn't take much to work out who the company (or at least the local agency) are and ping off an email with your CV.

My CV, while interesting, I doubt would get picked up by the big online resources who I expect use algorithms to create shorlists but, to a small company, an enthusiastic and relevant email can make all the difference.

Jobserve also good. Get applying and get feedback on your cv.

Apply for some jobs. A good RC will help you along with your cv a bit.

Try linkedin also.

Once you start applying for jobs, agents will put you on their own databases. So apply for loads!
