    'm in a similar position. Looking for any admin work in London but not having any joy having used numerous agencies. Have experience and a degree but don't even seem to be shortlisted. Trying to organise face to face meetings but any agency I've dealt with just want online applications.

    Anyone have any good dealings with agencies?

    Not really.Ive been sent to numerous interviews, some of them have been in a completely different area of work that I have applied for.

    With a lot of the agencies it seems to be a numbers game, they'll just keep sending people to interviews in the hope that someone will get a position.

    Since arriving here Ive found dealing with agencies infuriating to be honest.I got a short term contract through applying to a firm directly, but it will end soon, and I'll more than likely be back dealing with agencies.

    Im going to have to look for some temp work as well as money is very tight at the minute...
