I signed up for a recruitment agency when I first moved to Atlanta. They looked over my past work, interviewed me a few times and placed me in a week long job doing production work for an overworked in-house art department trying to make a deadline. After that they tried, 3 times in a row, to place me in a job I wasn't qualified for. They were trying to place me in web development (more code than design) positions or doing Flash work when I had very limited experience doing that type of work. I turned down those jobs and eventually the 3rd time they tried to do this to me I explained to them, again, what kind of designer I was, what worked I excelled at and that I was a poor choice for web development or Flash jobs as I mostly do branding and print work. After that they never called me again. I feel bad for their clients since they obviously don't try to place people in the type of jobs they're qualified for.
