Yes they are private?

What reason would that be? There is no reason at all for ALL people working at a company to have their email addresses displayed on the company website. None of ours were on the company website but if someone called us and wanted to email a cv I think we'd let them have it.

A lot of companies have the CEO, or MD email address easily findable on their website just not all the other staff.

I really don't get the point you are trying to make.

If I look up the FD of a company I want to write to I can easily find their email address. You get the name of the persona and work out the format of the company email and take a stab at emailing them.

Quite often in relation to jobs, one such reason is likely to be so they don't get all the generic CVs which someone else sifts through. Get their details and you're bumped up the pecking order, even to the extent of avoiding a whole sift of generics.

now its back about what it is supposed to be about i will say this is not how it works with the jobcentre. doing it that way would result in not enough done as far as they are concerned. right or wrong you have to do as they ask or face sanction.

Then do what the job centre wants and what you need to be doing to get a job. They are one and the same.

Claimants who have to be told by the job centre how many jobs to apply for are likely serial claimants. If job centre are asking individuals to send high volume of spec CVs without tailoring I'd expect that's because there's little to tailor that would make any difference or the jobseeker has been unemployed for so long they know that small numbers of applications will be given lip service so the only option left to improve prospects is to send more CVs with very little chance of success but on the off chance someone may give it a go.
