text: will uploading a cv to one of those job search websites actually achieve anything? i'm currently looking for work in the uk on behalf of my argentinean girlfriend. she's a computer systems engineer, so you'd think there'd be some demand for her.   there are plenty of websites to which you can upload your cv, but do they actually lead to employment? surely most companies just stick an ad in the paper if they're looking for employees? they don't trawl through job search websites - or do they?!  has anybody here found work this way? i put my cv on monster and had 3 interviews from it and a temp job, it depends on your how good your cv is
