Which Jobsites do you feel are the most recognised/useful?

Robtyketto

Greetings,

After taking a 3.5 yr break from work to re-educate myself with a degree, city & guilds and a Microsoft qualification I'm looking for work again.

I've uploaded my Cv to jobsite, monster and fish4jobs.

Can anyone recommend any other websites they found useful?

I also look at the local university jobs page and the jobcentre/job plus site.

Thanks
Rob

Has anyone had a positive response to online jobsites and has anyone had an interview or a job from them?

Of about 200 job applications online I have had no positive response.
Of 15 newspaper applications i.e. written I've had 6 interviews.

When I left Uni a few years back I got 3 interviews from it and plenty of phone calls (shame they were all out of my county and didn't not want to travel).

I then decided to retrain further spending more of my money of courses (and time).

So far as of last week I had one phone call, unfortunately too far away.

I use the auto search functions for jobs of type xx that are xx miles from my house, these are emailed to me daily.

Out of 48 jobs I've applied for on job websites or via email, I've had 7 interviews and another one is in the pipeline. The recruitment agencies in my area that deal specifically with my type of jobs seem to give a quicker response and arrange interviews.

The biggest question is what type of role are you looking for? What is your specialism? That will dictate the best place to put your CV.
