Employment agencies exist to make money for themselves. Finding you a job that you won't hate is a lesser priority. Most agencies make their money from the employer, especially if they are advertising for skilled professionals. You, the job-seeker, may also be asked to pay, but go to the job first, see if it is all that the agency cracked it up to be, then decide after your first day if you intend to keep it. Don't shell out big bucks ahead of time.

I once let a job agency send me out for an alleged receptionist job at a radio station. I get to the interview (in a tiny rent-an-office room) and the boss-type tells me he's really looking for girls to work in massage parlors.

Yet another agency sent me out to work at a stereo/music store. I should have known I was in trouble when the owner locked the front door. He dropped his pants and said, "How bad do you want the job?" So I looked him up and down, checked out his weenie, looked into his eyes and said, "Not that bad." I was laughing so hard I almost had an embarrassment happen. That guy couldn't unlock his door fast enough. Laughter can be a most lethal weapon.

The point of this ramble being, nobody is going to look out for your ass but you.
