Do you believe a Job Agent can help you?

    And if you do - would you pay the person if they helped you find a job? As in after you're hired?

    I don't believe in those kind of business there are a lot of agencies out there who would find a Job for you for free.

    Of course, an agent can be helpful and people pay them too.

    They are 100's of job portals on the net. Similarly, there are many offline agents (placement agencies) that help people find jobs.

    I had got my first job via a placement agency..:).

    Many agencies do that for free.

    They are actually paid by companies to handle the entire recruitment process and thus don't charge the applicants.

    I don't believe they can help, at least you pay them.

    never use an agent they just use you to take advantage of you

    I used an agent to get a ESL (English as Second Language) job and you can do it all yourself they just steal your money stay away from agents!!!

    Job Agents can provide you with good info... most of which they haven't tried themselves. Why invest money into JA when with a little time you can research your job searching tips on the web?
