    Sadly, such mass job losses have become an all too frequent occurrence on Merseyside over the years. Don't know why I continue to stay in the place.

    You're right what you say about the agencies. They ARE notorious for advertising fictitious jobs.

    To be honest, can't understand why they have got away with it for as long as they have!

    In fairness quite a few of those jobs don't exist, the amount of agencies that are just gathering CVs is sadly very common. Of course if you hit the right notes on the CV you might get a position of some type, but it's not guaranteed.

    I applied for a Data Input vacancy, did the online typing test and scored 90wpm with 100% accuracy - then heard nothing back.
