Rejected at the CV stage. Oddly, the only company where I've had anything close to a phone call is Facebook, although they reached out to me rather than vice versa, mainly because my CV had a range of different languages that I had worked with in the last few years.
Initially, I thought it'd be something to do with my CV, but that wouldn't explain why I don't struggle to find work in Bristol - if anything I get hounded on LinkedIn a few times a day by recruiters in the South West.
Ah ok, that makes a lot more sense then.

Really? So you have been working in Bristol as a developer for 10 years but can't manage to get a job in London? Thats mad. At what stage to you get rejected? i.e. CV rejected, initial phonecall or in person interview? Do they give you any reasons?
