    I've got my CV on Monster and I had quite a few calls within days of putting it on their - they were all agencies but not just for agency jobs (i'm in IT and some where for permanent jobs).

    I'd say go for it, you've got nothing to lose...

    Good luck :D

    You pretty much get meithered to death, but if you're serious about job-hunting you won't mind :-)

    I put mine on in March, and one of the recruitment agencies got me an amazing new job (much better than I'd been pitching for!) by the end of April. I started 18th June.

    Depends on what field you're looking in. For haulage, it's completely pointless. For IT and admin though, it's worth a punt.

    I also put my cv on Jobsite, you will get calls from agencies but not all are that bad, listen to what they have to say and you should end up with a great job! Good luck
