In my experience companies either keep a cv file or they don't, if the latter then if they don't immediately need people then unsolicited cvs go straight in the bin. A few of the more council/museum related ones (whether they admit it or not) will only take applications on their own or the parent body's application forms (hence the ones with only enough space for two previous jobs etc). We keep a cv file but admittedly it gets spring-cleaned occasionally (or it would be 100 files by now!), the latest ones go in the front so older ones tend to lurk at the back and don't often get reached when recruiting...the upshot of that is to keep reminding units that you're available for work, just not so often that they get sick of hearing about you. Just keep trying :face-approve:
...the osteology qualification isn't going to help at most digging units? Not many can afford to permanently keep a bones person in coffees, and I'd imagine those posts that do exist are pretty solidly occupied already. Thats what independent specialists are for when the rest of us carelessly find some bodies (although round here the only evidence there used to be any is usually the grave-shaped holes, with the occasional pot etc if you're lucky)....
