Hi Khan,
Thankfully I got a full amount of outplacement when I was dumped by
Nortel, so I can explain a few things to you:
1) Agencies only account for 7% of jobs achieved by people
2) Adverts and speculative applications account for 30% roughly
3) The other 70% ish is taken up by your personal network of friends etc
- e.g. jobs for the boys. This is one of the reasons why i've been
pestering you guys about jobs etc.
4) You shouldn't be looking for your friends/contacts to take your CV,
but to provide you with contacts that you can do the approach yourself.
This dramatically widens your reach.
5) The job market is picking up - you're lucky. I've had 4-5 interviews
last month, when I averaged one a month since Jan.
That should give you a little head start. I'm also available for CV
re-writing for £50 a pop.
Cheers,
Mike.

Hello everyone,
I am currently looking for a new job? very very
stressful :). I am a web designer/developer and I am not having much
luck with on-line agencies, what experiences have other people had, what
do other suggest.
Thanks in advanced,
Khan
