Are recruiting firms really worth it? I've never used them, how does it work? Do you pay them? What are some good ones out there?

bump!

it would be kind of funny to call a place of work and tell them you're not coming in againand that you quit. they'll think it was the sick guy.

haha!

@OSFA.. you do not pay them, the company that hires you pays them a referral fee depending on the structure of the agreement.
A real shitty situation I was in... a company actually got a piece of my check everytime I got paid until I got "hired" by the place I worked for. Half to be exact.
Do not accept temp, most of you would be know it all consultants.

I'm in a similar position right now and would agree on those points about salary.
Hopefully somethings going to turn up. I've already registered with 3 recruitment agencies and have 2 years professional experience. Currently working on getting my portfolio together and then I'll push for the job I'm after.
No regrets.

CONGRATULATIONS sounds like you're on the right path
- Jeremy_Dowe0
yeah i suppose i am. should be getting some freelance work next week.
i think the problem with the job agencies is that they don't understand a specialised area such as web. it's better to try and find the job you want yourself.
- a general agency yes... there are tech/creative firms..sherm
- i guess so, probably Aquent would be good.Jeremy_Dowe
- iamlo0

should've used the pirate resignation letter:
Dear XXXX:
After an appropriate period of deliberation, I have come to the decision to tender my resignation from XXXX, effective April 1, 2005.
Please know that I still maintain a high level of respect for you as a manager and supervisor, and I thank you sincerely for the support and assistance you have offered me in each of those roles. I have been proud to work for XXXX over the past three years; it has been a journey that has provided me an unparalleled foundation to move forward to new and exciting opportunities.
As such, I have decided to become a professional pirate. It has always been a dream of mine to live the life of a swashbuckling corsair, beholden to none and master of all I survey. Once my crew of unabashed rogues is assembled, we shall take to the capacious expanse of the high seas to pursue fortune, fame, and hair-raising adventure.
Our path may not be filled with the porcine comforts and technological marvels that XXXX provides, but we shall nonetheless move forward to carve a name for ourselves in the annals of bold insurgency and death-defying derring-do. Once I have a keen blade at my hip and the Jolly Roger is flapping high above me, I believe I will find my true calling.
Please note that I am currently accepting applications for First Officer, if you are at all interested in applying. I will provide a full medical and dental plan, which will offer immediate coverage of all maladies other than scurvy and the occasional bout of rickets.
Sincerely,
