    Plenty of talk about Jobsbridge but very little talk about this initiative. Is it working? Many good news stories from it?

    Sadly, it's not really working.
    I've mentioned it on my CV so many times and it never even helped get me an interview let alone a job.
    The problem (from what I was told) is that most employers dont know what the scheme is. So it goes over their head. In fact, in an interview the manager told me he only heard about the scheme quite recently. Went on to say he knows others who never knew about the scheme too.

    Its a pity the media hone in on the negative side of things, i.e jobsbridge
