Unless you're trying to get a permanant job,
I really wouldn't bother with agencies.

(The last contract I did the agent took 40% of the money)

This is why we say :

There are no employment agents worth speaking to.
There are no job sites worth visiting.
They are the epitomy of Douglas Adams' Galgafrinchan C Arc.

The best way I've ever found of getting a job,
is by using the yellow pages,
and phoning people up.


I wish you all the best, though.
I find it goes in cycles,
wanting to be free and wanting to get paid.
