Peter Smythe:
passed my Class 2 yesterday (19th October) so im waiting for my digicard, CPC card and updated licence. When ive got these, would you recommend me emailing companies with my CV or using a job search
NEITHER! Get in your car and go knocking on doors. Have your gear with you and be prepared to work instantly. Carry all your docs.
Job search sites will throw up loads of agency jobs - that often aren’t current. Emails to companies are rarely read.
You need to be really proactive and ignore modern technology.
Congratulations on the pass and all the best with the job hunt.

Difficult advice to follow if you’re already in a full time job and trying to change career.
Though I agree jobs boards like total jobs, even the ugov jobs website are full of agency adverts. They are mostly crap.
I can’t speak for haulage jobs yet but I’ve had success in other areas by applying directly. Most big firms advertise their jobs on their own website. With an online application form to fill in and submit electronicly. I’ve gotten jobs and interviews that way. I suppose smaller haulage firms probably aren’t set up that way. But I imagine it’ll work for some.
