Monster.co.uk & other Jobs websites - SV650.org

19-10-06, 09:01 PM

Following on from the career change thread, does anyone have any recommendations / experience with any of the online job search sites (i.e. the ones where you upload your CV so that employers can search & find you etc)

I've been trying to use Monster.co.uk for the past few days but the site hasn't impressed me much so far, it keeps bloody crashing or throwing up errors!

Any other particularly good ones?

Monster is fine for me although probably nowhere near as popular/useful as it likes to think it is.

Had plenty from agencies just browsing my Cv so there's hope yet. It's one of a few that I'm currently signed up to. The rest being more engineering/oil & gas orientated.

jobserve.com and cwjobs.co.uk are good for IT stuff. No idea about other areas, though.

gojobsite.co.uk is worth checking out

s1jobs.com is pretty good for any jobs north of the border.

www.thegumtree.com - good for finding London based jobs. Not uploading though.

jobsite, totaljobs and monster have all (are all) working for me right now. Monster's search engine is pretty poor. My CV has had more respose from Jobsite, not sure if that's because it's used more by Telco/IT agencies or just because it's better.

My advice with any of thses though, use them to find contacts at agencies and then call them directly and discuss what sort of jobs they specialise in, that way you can pick the best ones for what your looking for.

I put mine up on Monster...

Its a little odd. Every time I make any change in it, it seems to bump it up, and I get a load more job offers. Then I let it sit, and they taper off very quickly.

They are always banks though... looking for IT gimps. Yeuurgh.
