Agents are there to make sure you DON'T get a job! (Score:1)
I know the feeling. When I lost my job two years ago, it was like pissing in the wind. I sent of CV after CV to companies that I thought I was a good fit for, only to discover the CV goes to an agent who seems more interested in sending you somewhere you're not interested in.
Since I've had a job, I've had a number of recruiters ring me up weekly, offering me people (even though we've had no vacancies) that were totally inappropriate for any job we may have...
I can but wish you the best of luck
