Warning - Don't pay for CV advice 17 May 2007
Its been brought to our attention that Science Graduates applying for
jobs over the internet have been contacted by individuals claiming to
be from a variety of science recruitment companies.  The Graduates are
told that their CVs are not good enough and they should use a company
called CVSelector who will reformat their CV for £39 (or £51 within a
week).

Many graduates using this service believe it to be a scam - see
discussion on google

SRG utterly condemns this practice.  As the UK's largest specialist
science recruitment company we have always offered free CV
reformatting where necessary to science graduates and will continue to
do so.  If a candidate applies to us with a CV that doesn't match the
format that our clients want to see then we will reformat it for you -
it is in our interests to ensure that your skills are presented in the
best way so there is no reason for you to pay.

In addition, we offer free advice to any science graduate, be they
registered with us or not.  We have excellent relationships with many
of the UK's Universities and attend dozens of career events and CV
clinics each year. We have a specifc Careers advice section on our
website and a handy "Get that job" leaflet is available to all to
download www.srg.co.uk/downloads/getthatjob.pdf.

If you feel you have been the victim of bad practise then please
contact us on info@srg.co.uk and we will flag up to the authorities
concerned.
