This may sound like a very naive question, but what is wrong with having your CV on lots of desks? The downsides that I can see are that I will get lots of phone calls/emails for jobs I'm not interested in. As someone who can happily stroll through 200-300 emails a day anyway, I think I can filter these out fairly easily, and if a gem does appear, then surely it was worth it. I guess what may happen is that someone with a real job to offer might get my CV from more than one source, but I can just blame over zealous agencies and most employers will understand that that wasn't my fault, it may even make my CV stand out more.
I was thinking of sending my CV to every agency with interesting looking jobs that I can find on jobserve or monster (after a short introductory email asking if they wanted it). Is this a really bad move? /Robert
