Sure you are................:spam My son went to an agency about a certain job at a certain company. Heard various stall tactics, meanwhile I sent his CV to another agency- for the same job - while he was waiting to hear the results of the 2nd agency interview the 1st Agency rings and says company has cancelled the job. Then he got the job via the 2nd agency 1 week later. They all talk sh**. |

| 689919 | 2008-07-18 06:53:00 | What sort of work are you after? Basically if you have great grades try to get headhunted, if not apply to those type of jobs, if not that then you can approach agencies I find agencies are easier than direct to the employer. Expect to start at the bottom, I have degree(s) yet my first job was in a call centre and now I am in Project design/management type. In terms of applying I apply via electronic mainly. Seek.co.nz is what I use. I also email various agencies directly with my CV. My rule of thumb is if they do not contact you back in 10 days forget it, you can followup with them again or try diff agencies. Always send them to many agencies. If they contact you and no positions available expect to be contact reguarly weekly, if not, then they have put you aside. Do not limit yourself to permanent roles. Go for temping, fixed term contracts etc.... What is most important is to build you CV up in anyway possible. Edit. If you are young and stuff, even if it means working as a sales assistant in an appliance store or a supermarket, do that, its money in the pocket and you can say you are currently working and looking for work. They can see you have the initiative. |

| 689920 | 2008-07-18 07:27:00 | On the whole I find it reasonable, but paydays and days off are the high points. :banana | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 689921 | 2008-07-18 07:32:00 | Isn't this the Google Ad Words targetting kicking in? Nope, that's certainly not the case. Upon mouse hover, the links directly go to individual job applications (unlike Google Adsense, in which googlesyndication.com precedes all advertisements links). Besides this, the advertisement couldn't have possibly loaded on my browser since I have got AdBlock Plus installed. On top of this, the advertisement appear in non-job-related threads such as pressf1.pcworld.co.nz clearly ruling out Google Adsense being involved. Cheers :) |
