The thing that I hate about recruiting agencies is that they feel that they need to sell me to their client and the other services that they supply. I feel that I sell myself very well, I really only need the recruiters to find me the companies that have job openings.
The last round of job searching that I did was tough. I considered going to a few recruiting agencies, but what I would usually find is the jobs that they posted on their websites, were simply copied directly from the target companies websites.
So with a little web-search I could usually find the company and contact them directly, potentially increasing the amount of my salary if I were to get that job.
The only time I have considered talking to recruiting agencies is for contract jobs that were only listed through the recruiter.

I found my current job using an online job platform, it's better than looking in newspapers, because you can get more info on the job and the company
When I was young my mother told me to clean up my room, I told her -1!

Well, it was the opposite for me. The jobs posted on the papers(on certain days only) have much more information than those online. Perhaps this varies in different countries.

What happened to the previous poll, lasted only one day?

It was kind of ambiguous.

Well, considering that you have a history of active-poll-removal I don't see why you were so surprised
Right...

p.s. You remember how you once made a big fuss about continuos .NET polls and got one removed after 18 hours?
Sure I do. I only hope that would become a standard procedure and any polls about .NET would get removed so quick.

God, my memory's gone to Hell.
I can't even remember what the poll was yesterday.
Must be the VB.NET syntax I've been staring at ...

Yup, that would rot your brain alright.
It was to do with what you'd look for in a software vendor.
