    Congratulations. If you don't mind me asking what type of job is it? My CV is currently on Reed and Indeed.

    Really need to do it every week, preferably at a weekend and you just need to refresh it. Monday morning it should go to the top of the tree when recruiters go into view the website. Have you tried Totaljobs, I have had calls from agencies/employers within an hour of updating or refreshing it from their website

    I have my CV on over 30 sites and never had a call from anyone and I do sites like TotalJobs and the ones that do my industry background as well as sites like Reed once a week only CV library once a month as most of the jobs I see there I have already applied for like the ones on LinkedIn I have already found on the companies websites etc

    I used cv library in 2011 and got two jobs from there, 1 a temp job and one a permanent job.

    Then my sister in law uploaded her cv and the very next day she got a call from an agency wanting to know if she could start a temp job the next day.

    Definitely had more results from there than anywhere else!

    Talking of updating CVs online did you know on Indeed you can search anyones cv and you do not even have to be an employer?!
