After you have opened a new email click on the attach button on the tool bar and find your CV.

Also if it is a pdf file and you are sending it to agencies, you may want to send it as a Word file as they will need to change it to take off some personal details and add their own branding

Also -- as someone who has been sent a lot of CVs:
1) Use page numbers and also your name in header or footer -- this is in case pages get separated or shuffled after your CV is printed out;
2) Covering letters are awkward if you cannot tell who you are writing to, but generally use your email as the covering letter;
3) Use the automatic spelling checkers.

no big company wants a cv - it's application forms all the way. Even more they do not want cv's sent to them on spec - or they'd spend half their day walking over to the bin.

job-trainers and the like still trying to breathe life into the cv as it comprises a significant part of their 'working' day.

I was a postman(for xmas period) a long time ago in Ilkley and John Cunliffe was on my round. He was always complaining about junk mail brochures being left on his mat. He had a Victorian letterbox and they are tiny.

He dislikes postmen and I think he hated cats as well, especially black and white ones.

bhoys dont listen to them , i sent cv to royal mail and got an interview within a few weeks as xmas temp all they wanted me was to take bank details etc and job was mine i reckon  (usuually happens when  asked this ), ended up not going as a bit far and would get fired xmas eve Laugh , would take few hours each way as its past city centre for me and 2 buses each way and city centre is at a stand still as was last week , wait until snow comes

call centres if yu can be bothered will give you immediate start but ever done it , so no sure how bad it is , i reckon would be ok better than factory work anyway


you should have went for royal mail when i mentioned it a few month back or so , you would be working now imo

Agencies are parasites.

They charge double what they pay.
Report TheChaser November 24, 2014 11:47 PM GMT
couldnt agree more cmat  but even the direct gov site is full of them , they have taken over everything near enough

i can see why some companies use them though as i have worked in a few places in the past , you go in one day and its a whole new team/sqaud next day as most have left  , now the manager will get someone not showing up and just call agency instead of advertising , but if they paid their own workers what they pay agency , this wouldnt happen.


pr1cks walking about in suits doing the interviews at agencies ill never know how they got them jobs , in my experience they mostly aint got a clue , but its easy to sen 5 people to a job i suppose
