This is just a note on the subject as a whole:

As someone who just recently landed my dream job - I can only say agents 
waste! your time. Companies (the good ones you want to work for) have a 
way of being contactable direcly or know how to find you without needing 
sharks.. i mean agents.

I just started at Rackspace (Stockley Park - near Heathrow) and they 
found me on Monster, and also accept CV's directly via their recruitment 
people. Incedently, they are still looking for some sh*t-hot admins 
(with personality) to join the team, so call em ;)

My point is ,and mabe I just struggled because of my current Visa, but 
the agents were leeches and didnt have my best interests at heart. Dont 
use em if you have a choice. Use Monster or keep calling your favourite 
companies. Just pitch up and give the receptionist flowers and 
chocolates (plus your CV) and ask for some time with the IT 
director...whenever :) She will make it happen.

OkeThen CIAO!
