London job agencies, banking operations...

Any consultants on PH? I need to get a new job due to redundancy.
Currently about to randomly pick 3 agencies that I know of, if we have a PH'er in the business mail me and I will send my CV to you as well (assuming you want my CV ).
Or recommendations, would be nice to find an agency that at least pretends to have your interests at heart.......

Only advise I can offer is to expect to be treated like a piece of dirt by the agencies. The market is full of people in a similar position and the agencies can pick and choose at will over who to put forward for roles at this time. I was out for 15 months until I was approached by a small agency who had been retained to find someone with specific skills and experience. My CV clearly had those skill sets in it if you read it as a "professional" but a standard agency employee wouldn't recognise them.

On a positive note I suggest you make your CV as good as it can be with the experience of markets, systems etc very clear. Also include buzz words such as system names, market names etc as the automated searches that agencies use these days against their CV libraries will pick them up and at least get you onto the review pile.

If you are not already registered on the following web sites they are a good source of City based roles:

Best of luck
