To be fair, so did I! Most I've dealt with are useless however,

You need to know how to play agencies.
They can be very affective, however it's important to get the bullshitters out of the way first.

When i went to a jsa meeting thing they said that 60% of jobs are not advertised i.e. word of mouth, freinds and family etc...
Put something on your facebook page?

You dont sound like you know what you want to do.. You be more positive about the sort of work you want to do.. It will help you as potential employers dont want to employ someone who really doesnt want to be working for them.
