My experienmce? If you are on a YMS visa, recruitment agencies are THE WORST help. Of all the interviews I've been on, it was all through my own applications. I've been through hell and back-some companies made me do "math tests" which asked me to calculate area/perimeter and asked physics-based questions.....wtf?! Needless to say I failed - yes my job (media-advertising) deals A LOT with math but it is basic calculating commissions, rating points, cost per thousands, etc. When I got confirmation I didn't get the job at that company, I told thenm exactly what I thought (in a nice way - the reason why I didn't get it was because of my failing math test - wtf?! They said it proved 'logic' but in reality, it doesn't...it proves analytics).
4 months of hell has finally paid off.....and phew!! Along the way I've met sssooooo many people in the same boat - can't even get retail or pub jobs....and it's christmas - busy time of year!
If anyone wants to ask me anything or whatever, send me a pm. I'd be happy to share my story
