Uploading your CV to a jobsite

[The Raven]

I haven't used a jobsite for years but I'm sick of where I am at the minute so looking to move on.

When uploading a CV is it the done thing to make it anonymous?

I mean taking your full name off, removing company names, etc.?

I don't want my current employer to find it.

You can make it anonymous and only visible to jobs you apply for I think

Would your current employer be scouring job boards searching for you mate?

Would your current employer be scouring job boards searching for you mate?

No but they are looking for other people (for my department) and don't want them to stumble across it.

Searching for someone to replace the op before he bullets him

Why?

 

[The Raven]

Why?

as it shows I'm actively looking for work, the bloke who runs the show is a loony and I'll probably get the bullet

Just knock up a false CV.

I applied for a job with Citroen and had to send in 2 CVs

Have you considered updating your LinkedIn profile to actively searching and making it invisible to your current company?

I don't have linked in, does it genuinely help?

I was told it was just arseholes bigging themselves up.

I'm not being dismissive or condescending, I don't know anything about it.

From experience, I wouldn’t publish my cv on another site and put it public. What a an absolute pest some agents are. Getting several calls per hour from different agents trying to fill the same job caused me to remove it after 24hrs.
Saying that, if I was signing on and was desperate then it would have been topper.

It is definitely useful...if you can get past all the arseholes bigging themselves up.

This job, my last job, and the job before that were all through LinkedIn.
