| 689909 | 2008-07-17 23:47:00 | Issues? None of the idiots reply. Speedy, all (online) job agencies want is a pool of people for potential customers (employers). They don't care about individual people looking for work. All you are is a CV. |

| 689913 | 2008-07-18 00:45:00 | Recruiters are nothing more than Used Car Salesmen (but generally with fewer ethics). They just want to have names to put in front of a client so they can justify their (usually outrageous) fee. The key thing to remember when dealing with a recruiter is: THEY ARE NOT WORKING FOR YOU. If you keep that in mind, your expectations will not be overly high, so you won't be disappointed. That said, there are a few good ones out there. And it helps if you have skills that they need. I'm 'lucky' enough to get several calls a month from various recruiters asking when I'm next going to be available. However, I haven't been placed in a contract by one for 4 years - most of my contracts are now via word-of-mouth - the absolute best way of getting work (enables the rate to be pushed to the limit if you're dealing direct with the client!! :D ). |
