This isn't 1995. Technology has changed, use it to your advantage.
If you really want a design job, go search for the person/persons who would eventually look at your work either via linkedin or finding their email or if they have their own website and emailing them your site / portfolio of work / resume directly. Skip the job app process / hiring agency - most of those folks couldn't tell a good design vs a bad one. That's if you're half decent, of course, and not inspiring greatness.
If you were a Creative Director looking for a good designer, and your HR dept wasn't finding you shit, and then you randomly received an email from a designer looking for a job - who just happened to be exactly what you were looking for. Would you be pissed that you received that email? Probably not. If that were me, I'd be quite impressed actually. Shows balls to go outside the norm. Initiative. Or he might tell you to fuck off. Good luck!
