Hi guys,

I am looking for full-time, preferably permanent work in Grimsby or the surrounding areas, as I am looking to move back down to the town as soon as I can.

Does anyone know of companies who may be hiring or can anyone at least point me into the right direction. I've tried http://www.reed.co.uk - But that just seems to be the same stuff advertised over and over again.

I'm highly experienced in the administration section, currently in my 4th year working for Student Finance England. But, I am open about any jobs that are going.

Thanks,
Andy.

Bloody Darlington fans coming here taking our jobs  ;D

Good luck Andy, it's quite tough getting work in Grimsby, as mentioned above Indeed.com is very good and you can also select distance/wage and other options when searching for a job.  

Watch out for cv tossers who send you invites for interviews where you need to travel and thyen pay them for working on your cv.  My cv was already sorted by Forces resettlement but it didn't stop these goons from contacting you.

Andy,

PM me privately for a phone number & e mail contact for someone who professionally places people into correct roles in this area.

The hiring client in each case pays her fee as they look for exact role fillers, but she needs a current c/v  for yourself to know precisely what you are qualified to do and what type of work you seek.

You can have my job if you want it.

Been using this a lot since the recommendation.

Had a couple of telephone interviews so far.

Getting a call is great as some companies don't even bother to reply.  

To get more chances, read what the company are looking for then put that on your cv in white between the lines. Some computers scan CV's for key words, the very key words that they put in the advert, the human eye can't see it because it's in white but the computer will pick it up.

Best of luck Andy.

That sounds ingenious; until someone highlights it all and ensures the text is black!

So you're to blame!

You think recruiters have time to do that with every CV they get.  I have heard of a recruiter who used to throw away half the CV's without reading them saying he didn't want unlucky people to work for him  ??)

They tell you loads of stories on that course at Cottesmore like the bloke who said only applications in white envelopes, CVs on no more than two sheets of top quality paper stuck together with a silver paper clip using only a particular font would be accepted. He binned the rest and was left with two CVs to pick between. Not sure I believe it to be honest.

I am in the job market myself. CVs on request for an ex-RAF Avionics Technician.  ;)

I'm not a recruiter but I do look at CV's and interview in my job. What is true is that you tend to skim CV's very quickly and I find I look for reasons not to interview so spelling errors, awful layout etc can see the end of the line. I would bespoke your CV to every job you apply for and match it to the job requirements listed. I'd also cut any waffle and keep it as focussed as possible.

Unfortunately so mate. Problems with us I assume, I think most students hate us haha.

I do cv checks and nterviews and we give everyone and anyone a chance to come to an interviee providing they've passed an easy online test (part of the application)

Only other things I'd add are firstly, if you've had a period out of work, don't just leave it blank, refer to what you were doing in that time - actively seeking work, training etc. A big void of unaccounted for time can ring alarm bells. Secondly if you've had a period where you've gone through loads of short periods of employment I'd consider omitting some of these. It can again cause a bit of concern if it looks like somebody has had hundreds of jobs and changed every coupld of months. if it was a period of various temp roles then I'd think about covering that as one role on your CV and just explaining it was various short term positions whilst you were looking for a full time job. Finally, think about layout, font, colours etc It really can be off putting if a CV is horrible to look at so make it nice and easy to look at and read.

Very good advice Rodley.
