jobsite.co.uk i find is fairly good, I've had a lot of contact from Agenicies mainly on there.

Another one is cwjobs.co.uk - mainly contracts, some permanent, but this is a dedicated IT jobs site

Good luck

 

jobserve and theitjobboard are worth a look.

 

I get alot of success from jobserve, also set up your searches to send you daily email on new job listed. Get a suit on and go round agencies and try to speak to some one. You may just get told to send your cv in or you may get 5mins to speak to someone that can then put a face to your cv(hopefully you have a good face).

As another member has done on here, call big businesses in your area and see if they are looking for anyone or at least get an HR or IT managers email address to send a cv to. Get a good covering letter sorted aswell, one for general "i am looking for work" and one you tailor to suit the needs of specific jobs you are looking for.

 

jobsite / totaljobs and cwjobs worked great for me.

 

Cwjobs for me as it's a IT only job site. I hate the colours on the site though lol
