Advantages: Good site, emails jobs to you

Disadvantages: Cluttered and banner advertising means you have to scroll down on even short adverts

This is a good site for any jobs that you would expect to find in the Standard. As such, it covers mainly the London area. you may find some other UK jobs, but very few, and the search engine tends to throw up London area jobs when you search under "UK National".

The site works well, but is different from most other employment sites. You get a list of jobs from a search, and the option to tick boxes if they seem to be of interest. After ticking the ones you decide on, you can view the selection you've made. they then come up one at a time. I also find it very cluttered, with two sets of banner links and advertising, top AND bottom.

Most of the jobs seem to be "phone to apply" or written application, although there are some web sites or email addresses listed. One good feature is that you can get jobs emailed to you, so no more poring over the Standard every night for adverts! This is a fantastic idea, but you need to set the search parameters right or you might miss out on vacancies.

There is also a CV centre, where you can store your Cv to email to employers. I'm not sure why you would do that, as most people have it on word, but it's there anyway.
