  YES - You can place your CV into the database or take it out at any time - via your CV control Panel Ensure you choose a username and CV title that nobody can identify you with - or match to you (these do not affect the employers search in any way

• I have applied to a job but I have not heard anything - Has the employer received my CV?

  YES - the employer will have received your CV - but it is important to remember that it can take some time for employers to respond. It is also important to remember that some employers do not respond to unsuccessful CV's. We offer follow up tips in our "Get that Job" section for our Jobseekers. If after 10 days you have not had any communication from the employer and they have provided a telephone number (and/or) email address it is not considered unprofessional (and generally viewed as being pro-active) to follow up your application. One follow-up phone call - or email to the employer is acceptable, after that it might seem like pestering.

• Why can't I use the same email twice?

  Primarily this is due to the restrictions imposed by the Data Protection Act - which we strictly adhere to - for your own protection. But using just one email address does NOT limit - nor in any way affect your use of this site and the amount of CV's / alerts etc you can add. If you wish to set up other accounts - which are entitled to do so - you can use the email address services of yahoo.co.uk and hotmail etc.

• I have found a job - I want this indicated on my details

  Congratulations - regarding your CV's you can take them offline in your CV control panel (you can leave them there and update them at any time if you start looking for another job). You can also do the same with your email alerts (make then inactive) in your email alert control panel - you may want to use them - or edit them at a later stage. If the account remains un-used for a period of 6 months you will receive an email from us informing you that you account is still there - but un-used

It is common practise that this department tends to issue work permits to employers who have specific job offers for named person - or where there is are particular shortage of skilled workers.
