    Many of them will bin them: I know that Dunnes want you to fill in their application form, and don't bother with CVs, would expect the same from others too.

    TBH, I'd only give a CV to a company that has a specific vacancy that you're applying for.

    Have a friend in HR management who has instructed her secretary to bin these generic cv mass mailers. She commented that people who take the time to tailor their message to a particular vacancy are more attractive candidates than those that use the shotgun approach.
