Hi

I have been searching for an entry level IT position for a couple of months now. Up until last week I was using S1Jobs almost exclusively. What I was finding is that there where a lot of jobs but when I applied it was always local agencies and when I signed up with them I heard nothing.

I started using Jobserve after a recomendation on this site and whilst it has less jobs, they seem to be actual jobs as opposed to tools to get people to register. I have applied for 3 positions in the last week (turns out two of the positions are in fact the same) and I have two interviews arranged, in effect I have an interview for every job I have applied for.

The agencies are based in England so it is not a case of registering and hearing nothing. The interviews are with the actual companies i'll be working with (hopefully ill be working with one of them).

I know an interview is not a job but having an interview with a company is a hell of a lot closer than registering with an agency. Just thought I would pass on some advice to anyone in Scotland in the same circumstance.

Alan - PM me your email address, and include the url of this thread as a reference.

 

Where abouts are you from Alan? (Just realised it says your location in your profile DOH!) I'm in a similar position as yourself, around my area which is Wishaw btw there are very few jobs and those jobs usually require a minumum of two years experience - which eliminates my application straight away. I'm just hoping that this is a slow time for the job market and things will pick up in the new financial year.

 

For what it's worth, I think that the JobCentre online site is also worth keeping an eye on. Quite often there are vacancies on that that don't pop up on the other sites.
