Application advice

    Hey again,

    I am a bit torn right now. I've been in contact with CPL over the last week and was told some offers but unfortunately the one I wanted to apply for must (BigFish games) was taken it seems. She told me they'd recruit again in a couple of weeks but I still see the add going around all the time. Now should I try applying directly to the company or wait for info from CPL? I am worried that if she forwarded me already a double application may look bad. Also, if they are really not recruiting (for German Support) I am worried that if she forwards me at a later time it will look bad too?

    Second problem is similar. Was in contact with Sigmar Recruitment but the woman never send anything again or called and I don't have her number. Tried to mail her but no reply. We parted with her saying she'd send me speccs for a job at Apple but yeah, never got anything. I don't know if she forwarded me so I am hesitant to apply to Apple directly...

    Also, I know Call center jobs are not the best payed but is an expectation of around 23k/year realistic as I have no CC experience but customer care experience from working in a supermarket. Also have excellent computer skills and studied English so fluent in both. Hope that will be enough.

    Thanks for taking the time to read =3

    Any advice at all? I'm really kind of torn and don't want to make a bad impression by applying twice...

    Apply directly to the company In the case of Apple do so directly through there website.
    Recruitment companies will submit hundred if not thousands of names from there data base . you are so much better off going the direct route

    Thanks for the reply. I did apply directly via the page and just hope that the RA hasn't forwarded me yet.

    Who is still listing the vacancy?

    It's pretty widely accepted that many agencies keep adverts up to get in more CVs for their database, despite the job not being available any more.

    As jerry2623 says - I would apply directly.

    I see the add on the website of the firms directly and a girl I was talking to that works for one of them says they are looking...so I don't really understand why the girl from CPL tells me that they are not recruiting.

    Applied directly now.
